Design Codes and Standards
Standard:
A standard is a set of specifications for parts, materials or
processes intended to achieve uniformity, efficiency, and a
specified quality.

Code:
A code is a set of specifications for the analysis, design,
manufacture, and construction of something.

The purpose of code is to achieve a specified degree of

safety, efficiency, performance and quality.

 American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)
 American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
 American Society of American Engineers (ASME)

Cost and Economics in Engineering Design
 Cost is almost always an important factor in engineering
design.
 Use of standard sizes is a first principle of cost reduction.
 Certain common components may be less expensive in
stocked sizes.
 Close tolerances generally increase cost.
 Sometimes two or more design approaches are compared
for cost and choice between them depends on quantity of
production.
 Often there is a breakeven point on quantity of production.

Safety and Product Liability

 Strict Liability concept generally prevails in U.S.

 Manufacturer is liable for damage or harm that results
because of a defect.
 Negligence need not be proved. It does not matter
whether manufacturer knew about the defect or even
could have known about it.
 Calls for good engineering in analysis and design, quality
control, and comprehensive testing for prevention of
engineering liability.

Stress and Strength
Strength:
 Strength is a property of a material or of a mechanical
element. The strength of an element depends upon the
choice, the heat treatment and processing of the
materials.
 May or may not be uniform throughout the part.
 Examples: Ultimate strength, yield strength
Stress:
 A state property at a specific point within a body.
 Primarily a function of load and geometry.
 Sometimes also a function of temperature and
processing.

 mec -391 (mechanical design)
Uncertainty in Mechanical Design
The common sources of uncertainty in stress or strength are:
 Composition of material and the effect of variation on
properties.
 Effect of thermo-mechanical treatment on properties.
 Intensity and distribution of loading.
 Validity of mathematical models used to represent reality.
 Intensity of stress concentrations.
 Influence of time on strength and geometry.
 Effect of corrosion and wear.
 Effect of processing locally or nearby within a bar of stock.
 Effect of nearby assemblies such as welding and shrink fits
on stress conditions.

Minimizing of Uncertainty in Mechanical Design
Uncertainty in Mechanical design can be evaluate or
minimize by Stochastic method, establishing of Factor of
safety, Design factor and Margin of safety.
Stochastic Method:
 Based on statistical nature of the design parameters.
 Focus on the probability of survival of the design’s
function (reliability).
 Often limited by availability of statistical data.
Factor of safety:
 It is a ratio of absolute strength (structural capacity) to
actual applied load, this is a measure of the reliability of a
particular design.

Minimizing of Uncertainty in Mechanical Design (Cont’d)
Factor of Safety (Continue):

 Design load being the maximum load the part should ever
see in service.
Design Factor:
 The design factor is what the item is required to be able to
withstand (second "use").
 The design factor is defined for an application (generally
provided in advance and often set by regulatory code or
policy) and is not an actual calculation.

Minimizing of Uncertainty in Mechanical Design (Cont’d)
Design Factor and Safety factor:
The difference between the safety factor and design factor
(design safety factor) is as follows:
 The safety factor is how much the designed part actually
will be able to withstand (first "use" from above).
 The design factor is what the item is required to be able to
withstand (second "use").
Margin of Safety:
 It is the ratio of the strength of the structure to the
requirements.
 In effect, this is a measure of excess capacity. If the margin
is 0, the part will not take any additional load before it
fails.

Minimizing of Uncertainty in Mechanical Design (Cont’d)
Margin of Safety (Cont’d):

 Factor of safety (FS):

 In aircraft industry uses margin of safety instead of factor

of safety.

Dimensions and Tolerances
 Nominal size: The size we use in speaking of an element. Is
not required to match the actual dimension.
 Limits: The stated maximum and minimum dimensions.
 Tolerance: The difference between the two limits.
 Bilateral tolerance: The variation in both directions from
the basic dimension, e.g. 1.005 ± 0.002 in.
 Unilateral tolerance: The basic dimension is taken as one
of the limits, and variation is permitted in only one
direction, e.g.

Dimensions and Tolerances
 Clearance: Refers to the difference in sizes of two mating
cylindrical parts such as a bolt and a hole.
 Assumes the internal member is smaller than the
external member.
 Diametral clearance – difference in the two diameters.
 Radial clearance – difference in the two radii.
 Interference: The opposite of clearance, when the
internal member is larger than the external member.
 Allowance: The minimum stated clearance or the
maximum stated interference or mating parts.
