This lecture covers static assembly solutions in mechanical construction, focusing on the importance and methods of positioning and securing components. Topics include standard components like cylindrical pins and elastic rings, as well as practical considerations for choosing the right assembly method. The instructor emphasizes the use of obstacle-based connections over static friction for better performance. Various common constructive solutions are discussed, such as shaft-hub connections and axial stops, with detailed explanations on their design, limitations, and selection criteria.
