Design of machine elements
ME8593 DESIGN OF MACHINE ELEMENTS
UNIT I STEADY STRESSES AND VARIABLE STRESSES IN MACHINE MEMBERS
Introduction to the design process - factors influencing machine
design, selection of materials based on mechanical properties - Preferred
numbers, fits and tolerances – Direct, Bending and torsional stress equations –
Impact and shock loading – calculation of principle stresses for various load
combinations, eccentric loading – curved beams – crane hook and ‘C’ frame-
Factor of safety - theories of failure – Design based on strength and stiffness
– stress concentration – Design for variable loading.
UNIT II SHAFTS AND COUPLINGS
Design of solid and hollow shafts based on strength, rigidity and
critical speed – Keys, keyways and splines - Rigid and flexible couplings.
UNIT III TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT JOINTS
Threaded fastners - Bolted joints including eccentric loading,
Knuckle joints, Cotter joints – Welded joints, riveted joints for structures -
theory of bonded joints.
UNIT IV ENERGY STORING ELEMENTS AND ENGINE COMPONENTS
Various types of springs, optimization of helical springs - rubber
springs - Flywheels considering stresses in rims and arms for engines and
punching machines- Connecting Rods and crank shafts.
UNIT V BEARINGS
Sliding contact and rolling contact bearings - Hydrodynamic
journal bearings, Sommerfeld Number, Raimondi and Boyd graphs, -- Selection of
Rolling Contact bearings.
