Coordinator: Professor Y. C. Shin
Goals: This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of underlying principles of manufacturing processes and practice to enhance their knowledge, which can be used for design of engineering products and processes.
Prerequisite by Topic:
1- Equilibrium of elastic and rigid bodies
2- Stress and strain analysis of elastic bodies
3- Characteristic material properties of metal and alloys
Topics:
1- Metrology (2 classes)
2- Material properties and test (3 classes)
3- Introduction of machine tools and mechanics of metal cutting (5
classes)
4- Materials, geometry, life and wear of cutting tools and
machinability (2 classes)
5- Production and machining processes (4 classes)
6- Composite processing (6 classes)
7- Joining (2 classes)
8- Fundamentals of forming processes (3 classes)
9- Manufacturing automation (3 classes)
Laboratories Projects:
1- Measurement of material dimensional and surface properties
using various dimensional gages (2 weeks)
2- Various machining test to study the basic operating principles of
machining processes (3 weeks)
3- Mechanics of chip formation, tool life and wear, and surface
finishes (3 weeks)
4- Various composite processing experiments including vacuum
bagging, compression molding and joining (3 weeks)
5- Demonstration of manufacturing automation and projects (3 weeks)
Nature of Design Content: It is required to select processes and design process conditions. Students also design components for an electro-mechanical system and select pertinent processes in order to complete the project.
