Introducing students to the fundamentals of product development, modeling the structure of the mechanical systems, designing parts, subassemblies and assemblies, determining the workmanship and bearing capacity in product development as well as verifying the performance of the product function. The methods are related to product planning, clarification of the task, searching for solutions, identification of productivity parameters of the product, decision making and selection of solutions.

The student who completes this course will be able to: successfully define the development project, model the technical system in the field of function, physical effects and shapes, design a construction solution and verify it from the aspect of performing basic function, mastering a number of methods used in product development, apply a methodological approach to problem solving and product development issues.

Introductory considerations. The position of engineers in industry. Examples for future technologies. New principles of functioning. Significance of machine elements in product development. Methods. Overview and selection of methods in product development (goal planning and analysis: searching for alternative solutions, determining product performance). Mechanical system as an object of product development. Mechanical systems - definition and structure. Hierarchical consideration of the system. Forms of description and representation of technical systems. Modeling the structure of technical systems. Modeling technical systems in the field of function, physical effects and shapes. Design - basic rules and principles. The place and role of design in product development. Basic rules of design. Principles of design. Damage and destruction in mechanical engineering. Examples of damage with a cause analysis. Cancellations due to mechanical stress. Typical forms of dynamic destruction. Wear and tear. Corrosion. Measures to prevent damage and destruction. Budget and structural analysis. Exploitation conditions, load spectra and worker durability. Border states and budget criteria. Structural analysis of structures. Product development from the aspect of price. Price of the product from the perspective of the manufacturer and the user. The basic influential size at the price of the product. Pricing at different stages of product development. Product development procedures at the target price. Basic concepts about product development, complexity, systems, models and strategies in product development. Models, basic principles and methods in PD. Models of procedures in PD. Natural procedures for problem solving. Process Procedures for Operational Troubleshooting. Basic principles and methods in PD.

Lectures, study research work and consultations. The lectures provide a theoretical part of the material using modern equipment and information and communication technologies. Through lectures, a student acquires and mastered contemporary scientific knowledge, scientific methods and procedures that enable him to become independent research work. In addition to lectures, consultations are also held regularly. Study research work includes all forms of teaching that are in the function of directly training a student for research, writing scientific papers and making a doctoral dissertation. Study research work includes active monitoring of primary scientific sources, organization and execution of numerical simulations and experimental research.
