Course content
The objective of the lectures is to introduce students to the principles of transmission mechanisms in terms of shape, size and material. Specific examples will be used to illustrate the procedures for the design and inspection of transmission mechanisms. Students will learn how to analyse and interpret specifications and calculation results. The focus is on the safety, reliability and efficiency of the proposed solutions. 1. Introdiction to transmission mechanisms 2.  Transmission mechanisms - classification and basic characteristics 3. Three-part transmission mechanisms with a direct link - parallel axes 4. Three-part transmission mechanisms with a direct link - parallel axes 5. Three-part transmission mechanisms with a direct link - intersecting axes 6. Three-part transmission mechanisms with a direct link - non-intersecting axes 7. Three-part transmission mechanisms with a direct link - the friction principle 8. Four-part transmission mechanisms - the friction principle 9. Four-part transmission mechanisms - the shape principle 10. Three-part transmission mechanisms - rotation/shift 11. Use of transmission mechanisms in the machinery design 12.  Use of transmission mechanisms in the vehicle design 13. Summary and conclusion
