Principles of Design and Stress Analysis
OBJECTIVES AND CONTENT:

As you complete the first six chapters of this book, you will gain an
understanding of design philosophies, and you will build on earlier-learned
principles of strength of materials, materials science, and manufacturing
processes. The competencies gained from these chapters are useful
throughout the book and in general machine design or product
design projects.
 MACHINE DESIGN 1

• Chapter 1: The Nature of Mechanical Design helps you see the

big picture of the process of mechanical design. Several
examples are shown from different industry sectors: consumer
products, manufacturing systems, consruction equipment,
agiicultural equipment, transportation equipment, ships, and
space systems. The responsibilities of designers are discussed,
along with an illustration of the iterative nature of the design
process.
• Units and conversions complete the chapter.
In engineering, the word “design” conveys different meaning to different person:
a. A designeer is the one who employs the drawing board to draft the details of
gear, clutch etc.
b. Others think of design as a creation of complex system, i.e. communications
network.
c. In some areas of engineering the word design, been replaced by terms such as
system engineering , or applied decision theory.
No what words are used to describe design function in engineering:

DESIGN -
Design of machine elements is an integral part of the larger and
more general field of mechanical design. Designers and design
engineers create devices or systems to satisfy specific needs.

 To design mechanical components and devices, you must be

competent in the design of individual elements that comprise
the system.
 But you must also be able to integrate several components
and devices into a coordinated, robust system that meets your
customer's needs.
• DESIGN - To design is to formulate a plan for the satisfaction of a
human needs.
• MECHANICAL DESIGN - means the design of things and systems
of a mechnical nature, machines, product, structures, devices and
instruments .
• MACHINE - is a combination of resistaaaaant parts so aaranged as to
cause the forces of nature to produce definite work with constrained
motion.
• ENGINEERING - is the art and science by which the properties of
matter and the sources of power in nature are made useful in
structures, machines and fabricated parts.

 General Procedure in Machine Design

 In designing a machine component, there is no
rigid rule. Theproblem may be attempted in
several ways. However, the general procedure
to solve a design problem is as follows :

1. Recognition of need.
 First of all, make a complete statement of the
problem, indicating the need, aim or purpose
for which the machine is to be designed.
2. Synthesis (Mechanisms).
 Select the possible mechanism or group of
mechanisms which will give the desired
motion.

 DESIGN CALCULATIONS

 STEPS TO PREPARE A CAREFUL DESIGN RECORD:

1. Identify the machine element being designed and the nature of the
design calculation.
2. Draw a sketch of the element, showing all features that aftect
performance or stress analysis.
3. Show in a sketch the forces acting on the element (the free-body
diagram), and provide other drawings to clarify the actual physical
situation.
4. Identify the kind of analysis to be performed, such as stress due to
bending, deflection of a beam, buckling of a column, and so on.
5. List all given data and assumptions.
 DESIGN CALCULATIONS
6. Write the formulas to be used in symbol form, and clearly indicate the
values and units of the variables involved. If a formula is not well known
to a potential reader of your work, give the source. The reader may
want to refer to it to evaluate the appropriateness of the formula.
7. Solve each formula for the desired variable.
8. Insert data, check units, and perform computations.
9. Judge the reasonableness of the result.
10. If the result is not reasonable, change the design decisions and
recompute. Perhap a different geometry or material would be more
appropriate.
11.When a reasonable, satisfactory result has been achieved, specify the
final values for all important design parameters, using standard sizes,
convenient dimensions readily available materials, and so on
 SAMPLE DESIGN CALCULATION

• Figure 1-13 shows a sample design calculation. A beam is to

be designed to span a 60-in pit to support a large gear
weighing 2050 pounds (lbs). The design assumes that a
rectangular shape is to be used for the cross section ofthe
beam. Other practical shapes could have been used. The
objective is to compute the required dimensions of the cross
section, considering both stress and deflection. A material for
the beam is also chosen.

 units of measurements

Fundamental Units
• The measurement of physical quantities is one of the
most important operations in engineering.
• Every quantity is measured in terms of some arbitrary, but
internationally accepted units, called fundamental units.
 units of measurements

 Derived Units
Some units are expressed in terms of other units, which are derived
from fundamental units, are known as derived units e.g. the unit of
area, velocity, acceleration, pressure, etc.
 System of Units
There are only four systems of units, which are commonly used and
universally recognised.
These are known as :
1. C.G.S. units, 2. F.P.S. units,
3. M.K.S. units, and 4. S.I. units.
Since the present course of studies are conducted in S.I. system of units,
therefore, we shall discuss this system of unit only.
 units of measurements

 S.I. Units (International System of Units)

The 11th General Conference* of Weights and Measures
have recommended a unified and systematically constituted
system of fundamental and derived units for international
use. This system is now being used in many countries.

 In this system of units, there are seven fundamental

units and two supplementary units

 units of measurements

 Presentation of Units and their Values

The frequent changes in the present day life are facilitated by an
international body known as International Standard Organisation
(ISO) which makes recommendations regarding international standard
procedures. The implementation of lSO recommendations, in a
country, is assisted by its organisation appointed for the purpose.
 Although the metre is the unit of length, yet a smaller length of one-
thousandth of a metre proves to be more convenient unit, especially
in the dimensioning of drawings. Such convenient units are formed
by using a prefix in the basic units to indicate the multiplier. The full
list of these prefixes is given in the following table :
units of measurements
 units of measurements

 Rules for S.I. Units

The eleventh General Conference of Weights and Measures recommended only the fundamental
and derived units of S.I. units. But it did not elaborate the rules for the usage of the units. Later
on many scientists and engineers held a number of meetings for the style and usage of S.I.
units. Some of the decisions of the meeting are :
1. For numbers having five or more digits, the digits should be placed in groups of three
separated by spaces (instead of commas)** counting both to the left and right of the decimal
point.
2. In a four*** digit number, the space is not required unless the four digit number is used in a
column of numbers with five or more digits.
3. A dash is to be used to separate units that are multiplied together. For example, newton × metre
is written as N-m. It should not be confused with mN, which stands for milli newton.
4. Plurals are never used with symbols. For example, metre or metres are written as m.
5. All symbols are written in small letters except the symbol derived from the proper names. For
example, N for newton and W for watt.
6. The units with names of the scientists should not start with capital letter when written in full. For
example, 90 newton and not 90 Newton.
