About the course
Course content
Fundamental principles in machine construction based on the hydraulic strain and calculation of the strength of the chosen material for the pump- and turbine construction. Estimated life analysis and operational reliability based on material defects in production, with the use of fracture mechanics. Introduction in strength- and deformation calculation based on stress and permitted deformations regarding to clearance in the machine. erosion from cavitation for new and traditional materials. Typical measuring methods and analysis of vibration, noise and efficiency. Applied use of knowledge gained at the university for carrying out constructions in the industry. Dynamic analyse and regulation.
Learning outcome
