Design of mechanical elements

(KMEM2110)
Course Objectives:
1. To develop an understanding on the
fundamentals of the mechanical design process,
2. To develop good and careful problem formulation
and solution skills for designing selected machine
components and systems.
3. To develop an ability to make proper analysis and
assumptions by employing the concepts and
theories.
4. To develop a working knowledge in the use of
various standard procedures and catalog
information in the identification and selection of
engineering materials.
5. To develop an understanding of the importance of
safety, reliability, and cost factors in design.
6. To develop an ability to work well as a part of a
team.
Course Outcomes:
1. The student, after satisfactorily completing this
course, will be able to:
2. Apply the design process to engineering
problems, including the consideration of
different technical alternatives while bearing in
mind cost, environmental concerns, safety, and
other constraints.
3. Use material properties data for strength,
stiffness, and ductility in the analysis and
design of machine elements to insure safe
operation.
4. Identify loading of machine elements and
perform stress and deformation calculations to
design safe machine parts.
5. Design machine members subjected to axial
tensile and compressive forces, bending
moments, and torsion.
6. Design long and intermediate length columns.
what is design ?

Design is to formulate a plan satisfy a


particular need and to create something with
physical reality.

Realization of a concept or idea in to a


configuration.

Design is the creation of a plan or convention


for the construction of an object, system or
measurable human interaction.
What is machine design?

Machine is defined as a combination of


resisting bodies with successfully constrained
relative motions which is used transform other
forms of energy in to mechanical energy or
transmit and modify available energy to do
some useful work.

An apparatus using mechanical power and


having several parts, each with a definite
function and together performing a particular
task.

Standardization

Standardization is defined as obligatory (or


compulsory) norms, to which various characteristics
of a product should comply (or agree) with standard.

The characteristics include materials, dimensions and


shape of the component, method of testing and
method of marking, packing and storing of the
product.

A standard is defined as a set of specifications for


parts, materials or processes. The objective of, a
standard is to reduce the variety and limit the number
of items to a reasonable level.
