Study Notes
- Machines consist of various types of elements, including: joints, plumbing elements, springs, arrangements, drives, and complete assemblies.
- Joints function to transfer forces and torques between parts.
- Plumbing elements handle the storage, transfer, and regulation of liquids and gases.
- Springs and spring systems store energy and dampen dynamic systems.
- Arrangements like bearings and linear guideways facilitate force transfer through mechanical movement.
- Drives and drive systems convert power from one form to another.
- Engineers aim to find solutions to technical problems, optimizing various aspects such as material, structure, manufacturing, product-human interface, quality, timing, and costs.
- Engineers work in interdisciplinary teams, utilizing various sciences such as mathematics, mechanics, materials, manufacturing, streams, heat, economy, ergonomics, aesthetics, and marketing.
- Product design often follows the Pahl-Beitz design process.
- Engineers are problem solvers who apply scientific and mathematical principles to create safe, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for society.
- Engineers must consider load cases, stresses, and threshold values when designing structures.
- Engineering involves balancing priorities such as quality, timing, and cost.
- Engineers are part of a quality system to meet customer requirements effectively and efficiently.
- Manufacturing costs depend on the number of pieces, choice of manufacturing process, and tolerances.
- Tight tolerances may require additional processes and inspections or render a part impractical to produce economically.
- Design and development is a technology that requires teamwork, effective communication, and various methodologies.
- Engineers work in effective teams, considering marketing, design, manufacturing, preparation, purchasing, supplier development, management, customer methodology, and ethics.
- Engineers go through a three-step design process, beginning with determining the load case of the structure, followed by identifying the state of stress and stress limits, and finally designing the geometrical structure and dimensions.
