Lectures

Goal

Basic course goals are: 1) introducing students to construction, design and calculations of basic construction, mining and conveying machinery elements; 2) mastering of practical skills required for design and calculation of construction, mining and conveying machinery.

Outcome

Goal of this course is to introduce the students to the following skills: • Modeling and calculation of unique below-the-hook lifting devices; • Design, modeling and calculations related to fundamental substructures of crawler systems; • Modeling and calculation of bearing structures of mobile construction, transport and mining machines; • Design and calculation of stabilizers; • Computer-aided modeling and creating technical documentation of elements and assemblies of machines used in construction, mining and material handling processes.
