CALIFORNIA INSTlTUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
ME. 101. ADVANCED MACHINE DESIGN. 12 units (4-0-8); first term.
Prerequisites: AM. 1 a, b; ME. 4, 10.
The student electing this course will be expected to have a comprehensive
knowledge of the constitution and properties of the principal
materials of construction, and to be acquainted with machine shop
processes. The various relations developed in mechanics of materials
are examined as to their authority and limitations and as to their application.
Examples of evolved design for parts subjected to complex
stresses are critically studied. Investigation of the failure of materials
under repeated stresses.
Text: Applied Elasticity, Timoshenko and Lessells.
Instructor: Clapp.
ME. 109 and 103. MACHINE DESIGN OPTIONS. 19 units (0-'12-0);
second and third terms,
The work in these terms may follow various lines as the student may
elect. He may desire to work out the design of some especial machine,
or he may wish to take up internal combustion engine design, or other
suitable project. This time may be combined with that for thesis, in
case the latter is of a design character.
Instructor: Clapp.
ME. 110. METALLOGRAPHY. 12 units (2-6-4); first term.
Prerequisite: ME. 10.
A continuation of the course ME. 10 with especial reference to the
structure of metallic alloys, their causes, and the relation between structure
and physical properties.
Text: Science of Metals, Jeffries and Archer.
Instructor: Clapp.
ME. Ill. SCIENCE Of' METAI-S. 12 units (9-6-4); second term.
Prerequisite: ME. IlO.
The structure of the ferrous alloys; causes and effects of the thermal
critical points; theories of hardening and hot and cold working; constitution,
properties, heat treatment, and uses of the principal alloy steels;
the phase rule; preparation of specimens for microscopic analysis;
optics of metallography. Lectures and laboratory exercises.
