Machine Design - Introduction

Machine design is the process of creating or improving machines. It requires an understanding of engineering principles including mechanics, materials science, and manufacturing processes. Key considerations in machine design include analyzing loads, stresses, material properties, kinematics, and selecting appropriate sizes and shapes for machine parts. The overall goal is to design machines that are economical to produce and operate while withstanding the forces they will experience.

Computing Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics etc

Important considerations in Machine Design


1. Type of LOAD and STRESSes caused by the load

Dead loads Live loads Steady loads Variable loads

Stress and strain (Tensile, compressive, shear) Thermal stresses

Torsional stresses Bending stress

Shock loads (suddenly) Impact loads (applied with some velocity)

Important considerations in Machine Design..


2. KINEMATICS of the machine (Motion of the parts) Find the simplest arrangement that would give the most efficient motion that is required.

3. Selection of MATERIALs Knowledge of the properties of the materials and their behaviour under working conditions is required. Strength, hardness, durability, flexibility, weight, resistance to heat and corrosion, electrical conductivity, machinability, etc.

Important considerations in Machine Design..


3. Selection of MATERIALs Metal Non-metal

Ferrous

Non-ferrous

Physical properties: Density, Melting point, Elec/thermal properties Mechanical properties: STRENGTH resist externally applied loads without breaking or yielding STIFFNESS resist deformation under stress ELASTICITY regain original shape once the force is removed PLASTICITY property which retains deformation (required for forging etc) DUCTILITY ability to be drawn into a wire by a tensile force BRITTLENESS sudden breaking with minimum distortion TOUGHNESS resist fracture due to high impact load CREEP deformation under stress and high temperature FATIGUE ability to withstand cyclic stresses HARDNESS resistance to wear, scratching, deformation, machinability etc

Important considerations in Machine Design..


4. Form and size of the parts Use I-beam or Angle-iron? The size will be determined by the forces/torques applied (stresses on the object) and the material used such that failure (fracture or deformation) would not occur

General procedure in Machine Design..


Need or aim Recognize and specify the problem Select the mechanism that would give the desired motion and form the basic model with a sketch etc

Synthesis
