Scientific procedure to design
machine elements
Ultimate goal is to size and shape the
element so that elements perform
expected function without failure.
1. Predict mode & conditions of failure.
2. Force/Moment/Torque analysis.
3. Stress and deflection analysis.
4. Selection of appropriate material.

Contact Stresses
E Two rolling surfaces under
compressive load experience
contact stresses.
Ball and roller bearings
Cams with roller follower
Spur or helical gear tooth contact
E Compressive load causes elastic deformation of surface
of solids over a region surrounding the initial point of
contact, thereby bringing two bodies into contact over a
small area in neighborhood of initial point of contact.
E Stresses are highly dependent on geometry of the
surfaces in contact as well as loading and material
properties.
Contact stresses
E As a ball passes over
another surface, the
theoretical contact
patch is point of zero
dimension. Roller
against cylindrical/flat
surface line of zero
width.
Zero areas Infinite
stress. Material will
elastically deform and
contact geometry will
change.
Deformation b will be
small compared to
dimensions of two
bodies.
Contact stresses ..
E Two special geometry cases are of
practical interest and are also simpler
to analyze are: sphere-on-sphere &
cylinder-on-cylinder.
By varying radii of curvature
of curvature of one mating
surface, sphere-plane,
sphere-in-cup, cylinder-on-
plane, and cylinder-in-trough
can be modeled.
E Radii of curvature of one
element infinite to obtain
a plane.
E Negative radii of
curvature define a
concave cup or concave
trough surface.

Design Factors: Factor of Safety
E Necessary to calculate one or more factors
of safety to estimate likelihood of failure.
Stress
Deformation
Wear
E FOS is a ratio of two quantities that have
same units:
Strength/stress ; Critical load/applied load
Load to fail part/expected service load
Maximum cycles/applied cycles
Maximum safe speed/operating speed.
NOTE: FOS is deterministic. Often data are statistical and there is
a need to use Probabilistic approach.
Stress concentration factor, surface finish factor, size factor, etc.
60
Probabilistic Approach to Design
E Ex: Tensile tests on 9
pieces of hot rolled steel
were performed and
measured ultimate tensile
strength data are: 433
MPa, 444, 454, 457, 470,
476, 481, 493, and 510
MPa. Find the values of
mean, std. dev., and
coefficient of variation.
Assuming normal
distribution find the
probability density

Fits
E Careful decision on tolerance is important
for assembling two components.
Relationship resulting from the difference
between sizes of components before assembly is
called a Fit.
Clearance fit: positive gap between hole and
shaft. Relative movement is possible.
Interference fit: Negative gap. Relative
movement is restricted.
Transition fit: border case. Either a clearance or
interference fit, depending upon actual values of
dimensions of mating components.

B.I.S. (Bureau of Indian Standards) System
of Tolerances
E As per B.I.S. tolerance is specified by
two parts (i.e. H6, e7). :
Fundamental deviation: Location of
tolerance zone w. r. t. Zero line.
Represented by an alphabet (capital or small).
Capital letters describe tolerances on hole, while
small letters describe tolerance on shaft.
Magnitude: by a number, often called grade.
There are eighteen grades of tolerance with
designations IT1, IT2,, IT17 and IT 18.
IT stands for International Tolerance.

Examples:
E Clearance Fit: In hydrodynamic bearings a critical
design parameter is radial clearance between
shaft and bearing. Typical value is 0.1% of shaft
radius. Tolerances cause additional or smaller
clearance. Too small a clearance could cause
failure; too large a clearance would reduce load
capacity.
E Interference Fit: Rolling-element bearings are
generally designed to be installed on a shaft with
an interference fit. Slightly higher interference
would require significant force to press bearing
on shaft, thus imposing significant stresses on
both the shaft and the bearing.

Fatigue Failure
E Catastrophic, occurs suddenly. Designers must
consider possibility of fatigue in every design.
Fatigue failure looks brittle even in ductile metals.
Parts often fail at stresses well below the ultimate
strength of mat.
?sufficient time for strain to fully develop.
Rankine published Causes of unexpected breakage of railway axles in
1843, postulating that materials experience brittleness under fluctuating
stresses.
Aloha Airlines flight 243, a Boeing
737-200, lost about 1/3 of its cabin top
while in flight at 8.5 km. This failure,
which happened in 1988, was caused
by corrosion assisted fatigue.

Ex: A particular fiber on
surface of shaft subjected to
bending loads undergoes both
tension & compression for
each revolution of shaft. If
shaft is part of electric motor
rotating at 1440 rpm, the fiber
is stressed in tension &
compression 1440 times each
minute.
Stresses repeat a large
number of times, hence
failure is named as Fatigue
failure.
Crack initiation,
propagation, and fracture.
Fatigue is a concern whenever
cyclic loading is present.
Loading may be axial (tensile or

Fatigue failure criteria for
fluctuating stresses
E When alternating stress
=0, load is purely static.
Criterion of failure will
be S
yt
or S
ut
.
E When mean stress=0,
stress is completely
reversing. Criterion of
failure will be endurance
limit.
E When component is
subjected to mean as
well alternating stress,
different criterions are
available to construct
borderline dividing safe
zone and failure zone.
Remark: Gerber parabola fits failure points of test data. Soderberg line
is conservative.
120
Goodman line Failure criterion
Widely used, because
It is completely inside failure
points of test data, therefore it
is safe.
Equation of straight line is
simple compared to equation of
parabola.

gears, pulleys, sprockets,
etc. and transmits power.
E Steps on shaft provide shoulders for
positioning gears, pulleys, bearings, etc.
E Fillet between two cross-sections of different
diameters is provided to reduce the effect of

Important design guidelines
E To minimize both deflections and stresses,
shaft length should be kept as short as
possible and overhangs minimized.
E Simply supported arrangement is preferred
over cantilever arrangement.
E Hollow shaft has better stiffness/mass ratio
and higher natural frequencies than a
comparably stiff or strong solid shaft, but
will be more expensive and larger in
diameter.

Couplings
E Coupling is an element (a device)
that joins two rotating shafts to each
other.
142
Couplings
E Most common application is joining 2-shafts
of 2-separately (modular) built or purchased
units so that a new assembly can be formed
Motor-pump
Motor-gearbox
E Oldhams coupling
(parallel offset shafts),
Hookes coupling
(shafts having
intersecting axes) and
rigid/flexible
parallel coupling
144
Objectives of coupling are:
E Should be capable of transmitting torque
from driving shaft to driven shaft.
E Should keep two shafts in proper
alignment.
E Should be easy to assemble and
disassemble.
E Maintain zero relative motion between
parallel shafts Sleeve coupling
145

? % of load shared
by bolt?
Ex: A bolted assembly is subjected to an external force, which
varies from 0 to 10 kN. The combined stiffness of parts is three
times the stiffness of bolt. The bolt is initially tightened with 11.25
kN. The ultimate and yield strength of bolt material are 660 MPa
and 460 MPa respectively. Assume stress concentration factor =
2.2 and expected reliability = 90%. Consider factor of safety = 2.
Determine the size of bolt with fine threads.

Metals are preferable materials.
Metals, glasses and ceramics
have low intrinsic damping, which
is measured by Loss coefficient.
Loss factor is high in soft metals
like lead and pure aluminum, while
low in heavily alloyed metals like
bronze and high carbon steel.
In polymers, loss factor depends
on ratio of operating temperature
to glass transition temperature.

Under static load, yielding is the failure criterion.
Ductile materials yields locally and stress concentration is
negligible.
Under dynamic load, the failure will be fatigue and stress

the valve mechanism. The axial force acting on
spring is 300 N when valve is open and 100 N when
valve is closed. The length of spring is 25mm when
the valve is open and 35 mm when the valve is
closed. Assume ultimate tensile strength of spring
material is 1400 MPa. The permissible shear stress
should be taken as 30% of UTS. The modulus of
rigidity is 80000 MPa. The spring is to be fitted over
a valve rod and the minimum inside diameter of
spring should be 20mm.

Stresses ????
Example: We need to reduce the speed of 11kW, 1440 rpm
motor to 500 rpm using a belt-pulley drive mechanism. The belt
speed should not exceed 10 m/s. The angle of contact needs to
be greater than 165 degree. The leather belt, which can sustain
2.5 MPa tensile stress, is easily available. The density of belt is
0.95 gm/cc and coefficient of friction is 0.35. Assume the
thickness of belt is 5 mm. Determine (a) Dia of pulleys, (b)
length & width of belt and (c) belt tension.

Example: Design a V-belt drive connecting 7.5 kW
motor (rated speed 1440 rpm, shaft 1.5 inch) to a
compressor. We need speed reduction = 3. Assume
coefficient of friction = 0.25. Max center dist=500 mm.
ANSWER: Load correction factor for compressor = 1.3 (slide
242).
Effective power transmission = 1.3*7.5 = 9.75 kW
Let us select V-belt with B-cross section (1711) and weight
0.189 kgf/m. Minimum pitch diameter of driving pulley is 125 mm.
We can select pulley of 5 inch diameter.
As speed reduction equal to 3 is required, therefore driven
pulley 3*5 inch = 15 inch.

Example: We require a V-belt drive to connect 5 hp (3750 W)
motor (rated speed 1440 rpm, shaft 38mm) to a compressor. We
need speed reduction = 3. Assume coefficient of friction = 0.25.
Max center dist=650 mm. Calculate belt tensions and pitch length.
ANSWER: Load correction factor for compressor = 1.3 (slide
242).
Effective power transmission = 1.3*3750 = 4875 W
Let us select V-belt with A-cross section (138) and weight
0.106 kgf/m. Minimum pitch diameter of driving pulley is 75 mm.
We can select pulley of 3 inch diameter.
As speed reduction equal to 3 is required, therefore driven
pulley 3*3 inch = 9 inch.

Failure of Four Row Cylindrical
Roller Bearing
E Two large roller bearings (ID = 865
mm, OD = 1180 mm) failed in a cold
rolling mill Cost = Rs. 35,00,000 each
one bearing failed within 105 hours (installed on
05/01/03 and failed completely on 10/01/03), and
other failed within 300 hours of operation
(installed on 05/01/03 and removed on 24/01/03 due to
detection of excessive vibration and metal particles).
Expected life of bearings was approximately
40,000 operating hours
Survival rate 0.5% and 1.0%.
262
Failed Bearing
263
Bearing
subjected
to normal
load
E In rolling mills the load is of
constant direction. Only a
quarter of the outer race is
under load. For this reason,
the side faces of the outer
races are divided into four
zones indicated by I to IV.
E When the bearing is mounted
for the first time it is usual to
position zone I in the direction
of action of the load.
E After a period of
approximately 1000 operating
hours ( 2 months), outer race
is turned 90.
Conclusion: Rated bearing life = 4.* Life of one load zone.
Expected life of each load zone = 10,000 operating hours
E Detailed survey of failed
bearing indicated placement
of hole on the line of
maximum load.
E Four holes of 3/8 10 UNC 3B
of 45mm depth were drilled
and tapped to facilitate the
handling of outer race.

With new arrangement, no
complaint was received.
Company informed us that they
received 70,00,000 from bearing

Deep Groove Ball Bearing
(DGBB): Both rings
possess deep grooves.
Bearing can support high
radial forces as well as axial
forces. There are single-row
& double row DGBB. Widely
used in industry.
Cage/Separator: Ensures
uniform spacing and
prevents mutual contact of
rolling elements.
Shield: Profiles sheet steel
discs pressed into the
grooves of outer ring and
forming gap-type seals with
the inner-ring shoulders.
Seals: Often made of
elastic rubber. Bearings
sealed on both sides are
grease filled and in normal
working conditions the
grease filling lasts the entire
service life of the bearings.
Angular Contact Ball
Bearing (ACBB):
Raceways are so arranged
that forces are transmitted
from one raceway to other
under certain contact angle-
angle between line of action
of the force & radial plane.
Due to CA, ACBB are better
suited to sustain high axial
loads than DGBB.

Bearing Temperature
E Dependence on total friction moment,
speed, extraneous heat source and heat
dissipation capability.
E Ideally operating temp needs to be
atmospheric temp because bearing friction
is small.
E Excluding extraneous heat, steady state

by balancing heat flow generated by
bearing and heat flow dissipated into
environment.

Preload ????
Negative internal clearance before operation.
Preload on rolling element bearing results
constant elastic compressive forces on rolling
element and raceway surfaces at their
contact points.
This makes the bearing extremely rigid and increases
the natural frequency of the shaft, which is suitable
for high speed operation.
This improves running accuracy and locating accuracy.
Preload is also used to prevent or suppress shaft
runout, vibration, and noise.

Bearing Type
To consider effect of preloading we can use static load capacity provided in
catalogue. As per its definition load equal to static load capacity causes
permanent deflection greater than 0.01% of ball dia. In other words load
equivalent of 45000 N causes 0.01/100*6000=0.6 microns plastic
deformation of rolling elements. As per one engineering guess, if a ball is
deflected to 100 microns, then 99 microns will be elastic deformation
45000 N is causing 60 micron deflection of rolling element

E Bowden & Tabor Model
Two friction sources
E Generally load on bearing surface is carried
on just a few points. These are subjected
to heavy unit pressure, and so probably
weld together. Adhesion force developed at
real area of contact.
E Deformation force needed to plough
asperities of harder surface through softer.
E Resulting friction force is sum of two
contributing terms
Adhesion = Attractive force across an interface
Interface = Contact boundary between two surfaces.

348
ADHESION Theory
Two surfaces are pressed together under load W.
Material deforms until area of contact (A) is sufficient to support
load W. A = W/H.
To move the surface sideway, must overcome shear strength of
junctions with force F F = A s

Ploughing occurs when two bodies in
contact have different hardness. The
asperities on the harder surface may
penetrate into the softer surface and
produce grooves on it, if there is relative
motion.
E For = 45 = 0.6366
E For = 60 = 0.3676
E For = 80 = 0.1123
E Generally slopes of real surfaces are lesser
than 10 (i.e. > 80), therefore 0.1.
E Conclusion: Total , representing contribution for
both ploughing and adhesion terms, should not
exceed 0.3. For same material, = 0.2.

EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATION
Metal surfaces of this () type have initial = [0.1, 0.3]. Higher
values are reached if surfaces continue to slid over each other. To
get true we need to degas the surface metal and perform
experiments in high vacuum conditions.

FLUID FILM
BEARINGS
E Machine elements designed to produce smooth (low
friction) motion between solid surfaces in relative motion
and to generate a load support for mechanical
components.
Fluid between surfaces may be a gas, liquid or solid.
Word film implies that fluid thickness (clearance) separating
the surfaces is several orders of magnitude smaller than
other dimensions of bearing (width & length).
Successful design requires film thickness to be larger than
the micro asperities on the surfaces, operation without
contact of surfaces.
E Operation principles of liquid film bearings are
hydrodynamic, hydrostatic or combination.

In hydrodynamic lubrication, increase in viscosity
increases load capacity but also increases
friction. We require Reynolds equation.
378
Reynolds Equation
E A basic pressure distribution equation for Fluid
Film Lub.
E In 1886, Reynolds derived for estimation of
pressure distribution in the narrow, converging
gap between two surfaces.
E Reynolds equation helps to predict hydrodynamic,
squeeze, and hydrostatic film mechanisms.

Selection of Mechanical Drive
E Flat belt is cheapest. V-belt is comparatively costly.
Gear drive is costliest.
E Maintenance of belt drive is relatively simple.
Periodic adjustment of centre distance in order to
compensate stretch of belt. In gear drive,
lubrication is important consideration in
maintenance.
E Shifting mechanism: Flat belt & gear drives are
preferred choice. In case of V-belt, it is not possible
to use shifting.
E Flat belt for long center distance. V-belt for
comparatively short centre distance. Gear for
smallest centre distance.
Spur Gear Drive
Spur Gears: Teeth
parallel to axis of rotation.
Suitable to transmit
motion between parallel
shafts.
Bending load

Helical Gears: Teeth are inclined to axis of rotation.
Helix angle is same for pinion (smaller gear) and gear.
However, hand of helix is opposite. Lesser noise compared
to spur gears.

Stresses in Spur Gears
E Two modes of failures:
Fatigue: fluctuating bending stresses at
root of tooth.
E Keep stress state within modified Goodman
line for material.. Infinite life
Surface fatigue (Pitting)
E Repeated surface contact stresses
materials do not exhibits endurance limit
E Properly designed gear-sets should
never fail but must be expected to
eventually fail by one of surface wear.
433
Bending Stresses
E Assumptions
Compression due to radial
component of force is negligible.
Teeth do not share load
Greatest force is exerted at tip
