Mechanism Design

Goals

Knowledge and dimensioning of power transmission elements, particularly those used in ground transport, understand their operation and analyse their performance.

Programme

  • Elements of technology for power transmission.
  • Epicyclic trains and applications.
  • Gearboxes and drives.
  • Hydraulics transmissions.
  • Hybrid vehicle architectures.
  • Three 4h studies: Analysis of the operation of a DSG7 gearbox. Simulation of the operation of a gearbox and a DPC differential (with Catia software and applications). Analysis of the power transmission system of a 4x4 vehicle.

Sustainable development

Level 1: Activity contextualised through environmentally sustainable development and social responsibility and/or supported by examples, exercises, applications.

DD&RS level 1
