Study Notes

  • Machine design involves determining how to handle load requirements
  • Safe dimensions for machine design include material type, thickness, length, and width
  • Consider the end user (e.g., children, adults) when designing

Economics

  • Use materials to minimize operating costs, as lower costs lead to greater profit
  • Utilize standard or commercially available sizes
  • Minimize additional costs like machining by choosing larger initial dimensions

Material Standards

  • Substandard materials do not meet strength requirements
  • It is important to know material properties
  • Apply a suitable factor of safety, considering the kind of load, material type, and design basis
  • Determine design stress and equate it to induced stress for a good design
  • Induced stresses to consider are axial, shear, torsional shear, and flexural stresses

Tensile Loads

  • Satisfaction of failure profiles (strength and deformation) can be assured by computing for the standard size and choosing the large diameter

Compressive Loads

  • Pure compression occurs when a force compresses fibers, shortening a body
  • Buckling happens when a compressive force is applied to a body
  • Ductile materials tested in compression exhibit similar characteristics to those tested in tension, up to the yield strength
  • Slenderness ratio is the ratio of the column's length to the radius of gyration of the cross-sectional area about its centroidal axis

Designing Against Buckling

  • The Euler Formula applies to very slender columns with frictionless rounded ends, with consistant units
  • Stress is not involved in very slender columns
  • Failure is assured when F is less than Fcr (depends on the modulus of elasticity)

Torsion

  • Torsion involves twisting a bar rigidly attached at one end by a twisting moment T
  • Twisting moment T is equivalent to force (F) times distance (D), applied perpendicularly to the bar's axis

Bending

  • Flexural or bending stress results from bending moment
  • Flexural/bending stress equals all the elemental moment about the neutral axis
  • Beams are horizontal load-bearing members that distribute loads to supports
  • Bending is the primary mode of deflection when loads are perpendicular to the axis
  • Types of beams include simply supported, overhanging (single and double), and cantilever beams
