Understanding Major Machine Structures - Karratha 2014

Build your understanding of the structural intricacies of large, complex machines; the interaction between their mechanical, electrical, control and structural systems, and learn strategies for avoiding failures through design, monitoring and control. Key Learning Outcomes

Examine the design and structural behaviour of large machinery
Identify the causes of structural failures
Examine how to control machine loads and prevent overloads
Understand fatigue and fatigue failures
Consider design the construction/quality interaction and trade off
Address how to monitor machinery, assess and manage risk
Respond accurately and effectively to structural problems when discovered
Develop long term strategies for prolonging machine survival
