Hi all, I am teaching a machine design class in the spring semester. However, the name is a bit of a misnomer, it's really more about machine components. We'll do some advance mechanics of materials, failure theory, and machine components such as gears, power screws, bearings, etc. I'd like to avoid using a textbook, and I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on some good OERs to use for the class.
Thanks, Neil
Dear Neil Petroff,
I can suggest you two resources:
1. http://www.tribology-abc.com/calculators/window.htm#c11 (free)
2. http://www.mitcalc.com/ (comersial)
Regards
Software you can use FTool for iso and iperstatic structures, FreeCAD or Salome-Meca for FEM simulations and asking a teaching licence of Kisssoft for all the Machine Element calculations according to the standards.
Hope it can help.
