Course description
This course as well as "Experiment in Mechanical Engineering" deals with several kinds of engineering experiments related to the fundamental topics in the mechanical engineering fields (Mechanics of Materials, Hydrodynamics, Thermodynamics, Mechanical Vibrations and Control Engineering). Students control experimental apparatuses by themselves and recognize the physical phenomena.
Students have to attend the first lecture. For reference, the themes conducted in 2017 are introduced as follows.
Purpose of class
The objective of this course is to equip the students with the skills necessary to conduct engineering experiments. It includes
・recognizing various physical phenomena
・understanding general principles of measurement systems
・performing basic data analysis
Goals and objectives
  1. Ability to conduct basic experiments related to mechanical engineering using the measurement system
  2. Ability to use appropriate graphs or tables to display and interpret results
  3. Ability to analyze and interpret experimental data using software used by mechanical engineers
  4. Ability to discuss the experimental results
Language
Japanese
Class schedule
Class schedule HW assignments (Including preparation and review of the class.) Amount of Time Required
Orientation
Schedule, grouping, grading, general precaution and precaution for each theme. The handout summarizing the detailed schedules is distributed to all students at the first lecture.
Read the general lab manual for Experiment and Practice in Mechanical Engineering. 20minutes
Each group conducts the following themes in accordance with the schedule. Students need to prepare their lesson referring to following. Reports should be submitted within one week from the date of completion of experiment. Submitted reports are checked by teaching staff. Students have to resubmit the corrected report by the specified day. All the reports have to be submitted to pass the course.
(1)Mechanical vibration(Saeki)
 This experiment demonstrates the harmonic response of a system having one degree of freedom. Students learn data acquisition, vibration measurement techniques and application of the knowledge to solving vibration problems.

(2)Measurement of boundary layer along a plate (Tsunoda)
When a viscous fluid flows along a solid object, a narrow region in which the fluid velocity changes rapidly is formed adjacent to the solid surface. This region is called a boundary layer. The boundary layer which relates to mass and heat transfer between the fluid and the object is one of the important phenomena in fluid mechanics.
In the present experiment, students will measure the velocity profiles in the boundary layer on a flat plate in a uniform flow and compare them with theoretical results. The aim of this experiment is to understand a concept of the boundary layer.

(3) Boiling heat transfer (Yahagi)
Effective utilization of thermal energy is one of the important tasks of mechanical engineering. In order to use the thermal energy effectively, it is very important to know how heat is transferred. In this experiment, we will study a heat transfer mechanism by using the boiling heat transfer phenomena utilizing phase change.

(4)直流モータの特性の計測と制御(内村)
 ハイブリッド自動車やロボットのような最先端の機械から,掃除機や洗濯機といった家電製品に至るまで,我々の身の回りでは数多くのモータが使われている.こうしたモータを使った機械システムに設計通りの動作を実現させるためには,モータの特性を考慮した制御系の実装が必要不可欠である.本実験では,直流モータを制御対象として,モータの動作原理や,電磁気力および機械的な力を結びつける物理法則を学ぶ.また,モータの特性に関わる各種パラメータの同定を行うことで,制御対象の特性を明らかにする.さらに,フィードバック制御器のゲイン設計によって,システムの速応性や定常偏差を向上する過程を実験的に学ぶことを目的としている.

(5) Ultrasonic characteristics and nondestructive inspection(Sakaue)
Ultrasonic measurement is widely used for nondestructive inspection in engineering feild. In this experiment, the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic in solid material is theoretically studied and is confirmed by experimental measurement. Then, ultrasonic charactristics is applied to nondestractive inspection.

6) Flow in pipe and friction loss (Suwa)
In designing of fluid transport system, pumps should be properly selected based on the evaluation of friction loss head against flow. In this experiment, tube friction losses in circular tube in laminar, turbulent and transient region are measured, and the relation between the friction factor and the Reynolds number is studied. This relation is studied also theoretically.

(7)鋼の焼き入れ性(松尾)
鋼は,金属材料の中でも圧倒的に使用量が多く,重要な材料である。鋼を含む多くの金属材料では,熱処理を施すことによって,組織を制御し機械的な性質を向上させることができる。この課題では,複数の鋼材のジョミニ試験(一端焼入れ試験)を行い,焼き入れ性を比較する。これを通じて,熱処理によって硬さが変化することや,その特性が鋼材の種類によって変化することを体験的に理解すること,またそれら(熱処理,硬さ試験)の方法を習得することを目的とする。

(8)Experimental evaluation of combined heat transfer (Yamada)
As engineers, it is important to understand the heat transfer. For understanding, we need to categorize heat transfer into three main heat transfer modes. Then, we can use the rate equations that quantify the amount of energy in each mode. In this experiment, students will learn heat transfer modes, principle of temperature measurement and how to categorize heat transfer in one dimensional system.
