Study Notes
Stress Types
- Tensile Stress: Force elongates fibers
- Compressive Stress: Force shortens fibers
- Shear Stress: Force makes adjacent planes move
Deformation
- Strain: Deformation per unit length
Cylinders
- Thin Cylinder: A type of cylinder, with a thickness-to-radius ratio less than 0.7
Stress Concentrations
- Stress concentrations occur at areas like holes, scratches, and cracks.
Mechanical Fasteners
- Threads: Used in threaded bolts and screws to hold machine parts together.
- Common Thread Types: V-thread, Sellers, Whitworth
- Pitch (P): Axial distance between corresponding, adjacent planes.
- Lead (L): Axial distance in one revolution.
Bolt Design
- Bolt Design: Aim for safe external tensile stress.
- Initial Tension and Tightening Torque: Force used to induce tight fastening.
Power Screws
- Power Screws: A device that uses friction to convert rotational motion into linear motion or vice versa.
Power Screw Classifications
- Screw classifications: Square thread, Acme thread, Buttress thread
Acme Thread
- Acme Thread: Type of thread that overcomes thread friction.
Thread Series
- Types of Threads: UNC, UNF, UNEF, 8UN
- UNC (Unified National Coarse Series): General-purpose screw thread.
- UNF (Unified National Fine Series): For use in automobiles and aircraft.
- UNEF (Unified National Extra Fine): For aeronautical applications.
- 8UN (Unified 8-Thread Series): For bolts and high-pressure flanges.
