Design Principles
A machine may be defined as a combination of stationary and moving parts
constructed for the useful purpose of generating, transforming or utilizing
mechanical energy. Machines can be classified in to:
1. Machines for generating mechanical energy: Converts some form of energy
(electrical, heat, hydraulics etc.) into mechanical work. eg: steam engines, IC
engines, water turbines etc.
2. Machines for transforming mechanical energy: known as converting
machines. These types of machines transform mechanical energy into
another form of energy. eg: Electric generators, hydraulic pumps etc.
3. Machines for utilizing mechanical energy: These machines receive
mechanical energy and deliver and utilize it as such in the performance of
useful work. eg: lathe, m/c tools etc.
A m/c element or part is a separate part of machine, either integral or consist
of several small pieces which are rigidly joined together by riveting, welding etc. The
m/c element can be classified into
1. General purpose elements. eg: nuts, bolts, key, axles, shafts.
2. Special purpose elements: These m/c elements are employed only with a
particular type of machine. eg: Piston, Connecting rods, Cam shafts etc.
Further sub divided into.
3. Fasteners: which connects or join the parts of a machine.
4. Elements of Rotary motion drive: These elements transmit power: Eg: belt,
rope, chain, gears, shafts etc.

ASSIGNMENT 1
1. Classification of Engg. materials [P.C. Sharma]
2. Mechanical properties of Engg. Material. [V.B. Bhandari, 10 pts]
Material Properties
Mechanical properties of a material generally determined through destructive
testing samples under controlled loading conditions.
Tensile test
This is one of the simplest and be basic test and determines values of number
of parameters concerned with mechanical properties. A materials like strength,
ductility and toughness. The information which can be obtained from the tests are:
i) Proportional Limit
ii) Elastic limit
iii) Modulus of Elasticity
iv) Yield strength
A typical tensile specimen is shown in fig. 1.1.
The tensile bar is mechanical from the material to be tested in one of the
several standard diameters do and gauge lengths l0. The gauge length is an
arbitrary length defined along the small-diameter portion of the specimen by two
6
indentations so that its increase can be measured during the test. The larger dia
sections are threaded for insertion into a tensile test machine which is capable of
applying either controlled loads or controlled deflections to the end of the bars; and
gauge length portion in mirror polished to eliminate stress concentration from surface
defects. The bar is stretched slowly in tension until it breaks, while the load and
distance across the gauge length are monitored.
STRESS-STRAIN DIAGRAMS

The results of tensile test are expressed by means of stress-strain
relationships and plotted in the form of a graph.
I. It is observed from the diagram that stress-strain relationship is linear from O
to P. OP is a straight line and after P, the curve begins to deviate from straight line.
Point P is the proportional limit below which stress is proportional to strain; as
expressed by Hookes law.
E

Where E defines the slope of stress-strain curve up to proportional limit called


Youngs Modulus OR Modulus of Elasticity of the material.
E=tan =
PX
OX

E is the measure of the stiffness of the material in its elastic range and has the
units of the of stress.
7
For most ductile materials, the modulus of elasticity in compression is the
same as in tension.
II. ELASTIC LIMIT:
Even if the specimen is stressed beyond point P and up to E, it will regain its
initial size and shape when load is removed. This shows that the material is the
elastic stage up to point E. Therefore E is called elastic limit. Elastic limit can be
defined as the maximum stress without any permanent deformation. Point P and E
are typically close together that they are often considered as the same.
III YIELD STRENGTH
When the specimen is stressed beyond point E, plastic deformation occurs
and material starts yielding. During this stage, it is not possible to recover the initial
size and shape of the specimen on the removal of the load. From the diagram, beyond
point E, the strain increases at a faster rate up to point y
1
. In the case of mild steel, it
is observed that there is small reduction in load and the curve drops down to point y
2
,
immediately after yielding starts. The points y
1
and y
2
are called upper and lower
yield points respectively. For many materials, y
1
and y
2
are close to each other and in
such a case, two points are considered as same and denoted by y. The stress
corresponding to yield point y is called yield strength. Yield strength is defined as
the maximum stress at which a marked increase in elongation occurs without
increase in load.
Many varieties of steel, especially heat-treated steels, aluminium and cold-
drawn steels do not have a well defined yield point on the stress strain diagram.
This type of material yields gradually after passing through elastic limit E. If the
loading is stopped at point Y, at a stress level slightly higher than elastic limit E, and
specimen is unloaded and readings taken, the curve would follow the dotted line and
a permanent at a plastic deformation will exist.
The strain corresponding to this permanent deformation is indicated by OA.
For such materials which do not exhibit a well defined yield point, the yield strength
is defined as the stress corresponding to a permanent set of 0.2% of gauge length. In
such a case the yield strength is determined by offset method. A distance OA equal
8
to 0.002 mm/mm strain is marked on X-axis. A line is constructed from pt A parallel
to st. line portion OP of the stress-strain curve. The pt of intersection of this line and
the stress-strain curve is called Y. The corresponding stress is called 0.2% yield
strength. The term proof load G proof strength are frequently used in the design of
fasteners. The proof strength is similar to yield strength. It is determined by offset
method, however offset in this case is 0.001 mm/mm. 0.1% proof strength denoted
by the symbol Rp 0.1.
Ultimate tensile strength
After the yield point Y
2
, plastic deformation of the specimen increases. The
material become stronger due to strain hardening and higher and higher load is
required to deform the material. Finally the load and corresponding stress reaches a
maximum value, given by pt u. The stress corresponding to pt U is called ultimate
strength. The ultimate tensile strength is the maximum stress that can be reached in
tension test. For ductile material the diameter of the specimen begins to decrease
rapidly beyond maximum load point U. There is localized reduction in cross-section
area called necking. As the test progresses, the C.A. at the neck decreases rapidly
and fracture taken place at cross-section of the neck. The fracture point is shown in
fig. (F).
Ultimate tensile strength is considered as failure criterion in brittle material.

Points to be remembered:
- The dimensions of simple m/c parts are determined in the basis of pure
tensile stress, pure compressive stress, direct shear stress, bending stress or torsional
shear stress. The analysis is simple but approximate, because number of factors such
15
as principal stresses, stress concentration reversal of stresses is neglected. Therefore
a higher FOS up to 5 can be taken into....
- It is incorrect to take allowable stress as data are design.

FACTOR OF SAFETY - FOS
While designing a component, it is necessary to ensure sufficient reserve strength in
the case of an accident. It is ensured by taking a suitable factor of safety (fs)
FOS can be defined as: [

= allowable stress]
s
Failure Stress
f
Allowable Stress

OR

Failure load
fs
Workingload

The allowable stress is the stress value which is used in design to determine the
dimensions of the component. It is considered as a stress which the designer, expects
will not exceed under normal operating conditions.
For ductile material, the allowable stress (

For brittle material:

Syt = yield tensile strength, Sut = ultimate tensile stress
The FOS ensures against
- Uncertainty in the magnitude of external force acting on the component.
- Variations in the properties of materials like yield strength or ultimate
strength.
- Variations in the dimensions of the component due to imperfect
workmanship.
The magnitude of FOS depends upon following conditions:
1. Effect of failure:
Failure of the ball bearing in gear box.
Failure of valve in pressure vessel
2. Types of Load
- When external force acting on the m/c element is static - FOS is low.
- Impact load FOS is high
3. Degree of Accuracy in force analysis.
17
When the force acting on the m/c element is precisely determined low FOS
can be selected. Where as higher FOS is considered when the m/c component is
subjected to a force whose magnitude or direction is uncertain and unpredictable.
4. Material of Component
When the component is made of homogenous ductile material, like steel,
yield strength is the criterion of feature. FOS is small in such cases. Cast Iron
component has non-homogenous structure and a higher FOS based on ultimate
strength is chosen.
5. Reliability of the component:
FOS & Reliability
- Defense
- Power stations
6. Cost of Components:
FOS & Cost
7. Testing of Machine element
Low FOS when m/c comp. are tested under actual condition of service and
operation.
8. Service conditions:
Higher FOS when m/c element is likely to operate in corrosive atmosphere
or high temp. environment.
9. Quality of Manufacture:
Quality is inversely proportional to FOS.
Lecture - 5
TYPES OF CYCLIC LOADING
Machine components are subjected to external force or load. The external
load acting on the component is either static or dynamic. The dynamic load is
18
further classified into cyclic and impact loads. Static load is one: as a load which
does not vary in magnitude or direction with respect to time, after it has been applied.
Dynamic load is a load which varies in magnitude and direction w.r.t time,
after it has been applied.
There are two types of dynamic loads.
Cyclic load
Impact load
Cyclic Loads:
This is a load, which when applied, varies in magnitude in a repetitive cyclic
manner; either completely reversing itself from tension to compression or oscillating
about some mean value. In this case, the pattern of load variation w.r.to time is
repeated again and again.
Examples of cyclic loads are
- Force induced in gear teeth
- Loads induced in a rotating shaft subjected to B.M.
There are three types of mathematical models are of cyclic loads.
- Fluctuating OR alternating load
- Repeated loads
- Reversed loads
Stress time relationship corresponding to these three types of loads are given
below.
(a) Fluctuating stresses
(b) Repeated stresses
(c) Reversed stresses
The fluctuating or alternative load varies in a sinusoidal manner with respect
to time. It has some mean value as well as amplitude value. It fluctuates between
19
two limits maximum and minimum load. The load can be tensile compressive or
partially tensile.
The repeated load varies in a sinusoidal manner w.r.to time but varies from
zero to some maximum value. The minimum value (load) is zero in this case and
therefore, amplitude load and mean loads are equal.
The reversed load varies in a sinusoidal manner w.r.to time, but it has zero
mean load. In this case, half portion of the cycle consists of tensile load and
remaining half of compressive load. There is complete reversal from tension to
compression between these two halves and therefore, mean load is zero.

STRESS CONCENTRATION
In design of m/c elements, following fundamental equations are used.

t
M r
=
J

These equations are called elementary equations. These equations are based
on a number of assumptions:
1. Stress is proportional to strain.
20
2. Modulus of elasticity is same in tension and in compression.
3. No high intensity contact pressure at the regions of the contact of support and
loading.
4. Machine members have constant section.
5. No abrupt change in section.
However, in practice, discontinuities and abrupt changes in cross-section are
unavoidable due to certain features of the component such as oil holes and grooves,
keyways and splines, screw threads etc. Hence it cannot be assumed that cross-
section of the machine component is uniform. Under these circumstances, the
elementary equations do not give correct result.
In order to visualize the effect of discontinuities and abrupt changes in cross
section on distribution of stresses, a concept called FLOW ANALOGY is used.
Fig. (a) shows a bar of uniform cross section subjected to axial tensile force. In flow
analogy concept, the force is visualized as flowing through the bar. Each flow line in
the figure represents a certain amount of force. These flow lines are called Force
flow lines. Since bar has uniform cross section, flow lines are uniformly spaced. Fig.
(b) shows an identical bar but with notch cut on its circumference. If we consider a
cross section of this bar away from the notch, the flow lines are uniformly spaced
showing normal distribution of tensile stress. As the line approaches the notch they
are bent in order to pass through restricted openings. The bending of force flow lines
indicates weakening of the material. The effect of stress concentration is proportional
to bending of flow lines. When force flow lines are bent, the load carrying capacity is
reduced and material becomes weak. Let us consider a flat plate Fig. (c) of uniform
thickness subjected to axial tensile force. At the section xx, there is sudden change in
height.
At both ends flow lines are parallel indicating uniform distribution of stresses. At the
right end, they are close together indicating higher magnitude of stresses. At the left
end they are spaced comparatively away from each other, indicating lower
21
magnitude of stress. When these lines from left and right side join at section at xx,
they are bent indicating weakening of material.
There are two terms normal stresses and localized stresses. Normal stresses
are shown at two ends with uniform distribution. The localized stresses are restricted
to local regions of the component such as sections of discontinuity.
(i) Normal stresses: are stresses in the machine component at a section away
from discontinuity or abrupt change of cross section. Localized stresses are stresses
in local regions of the component such as the sections of discontinuity or sections of
change of cross section.
(ii) Normal stresses are determined by elementary equations. It is not possible to
use these formulae for localized stresses.
(iii) The normal stresses are comparatively of small magnitude. The localized
stresses in the vicinity of discontinuity are frequently of large magnitude. This may
give rise to a crack.
(iv) Failure rarely occurs in region of normal stresses. The region of localized
stresses is more vulnerable to fatigue failure.
Let us consider a plate with a small circular hole as in figure (d).
The distribution of stresses near the hole can be observed by keeping a model
of the plate made of epoxy resin in circular polariscope. The localized stresses in the
neighbourhood of the hole are far greater than the stress obtained by elementary
equation.
Stress concentration is defined as the localization of high stresses due to
irregularities or abrupt changes of cross section. In order to consider the effect of
stress concentration and find out localized stresses stress concentration factor is
used. It is denoted by Kt.

The causes of stress concentration are:
(i) Variation of properties of materials
(ii) Local application
(iii) Abrupt change in section
(iv) Discontinuities in the component
(iv) Machining scratches
Methods to reduce stress concentration
(i) Additional notches and holes in tension member.
Eg. It is observed that a single notch results in a high degree of stress
concentration. The severity of stress concentration can be reduced by three methods:
(a) Use of multiple notches
(b) Drilling additional holes
(c) Removal of undesired material
The method of removal of undesired material is called Principle of
Minimization of Material.

PRINCIPAL STRESSES
Lot of mechanical components are available which is subjected to several
types of loads simultaneously. Stresses can be classified mainly into two groups:
Normal and shear stress.
There is a particular system of notation available.
The normal stresses are denoted by
x
,
y
and
z
in x, y, z direction.
Tensile stresses are considered as positive.
Compressive stresses are considered as ve.

shear stress.
It is the graphical representation of stresses.
Steps:

are plotted in the
abscissa. The tensile stress considered as positive, is plotted to the right of the origin
and compressive stresses are considered as negative, to its left.

FATIGUE FAILURE
It has been observed that materials fail under fluctuating stresses, at a stress
magnitude which is lower than the ultimate tensile strength of material. The
magnitude of stress causing fatigue failure decreases on the number of stress cycle
increases. This phenomenon of decreased resistance of the materials to fluctuating
stresses is called fatigue. The fatigue failure begins with a crack at some points in
the material. The crack is more likely to occur in following regions:
(i) Regions of discontinuity, such as oil holes, keyways, screw thread
(ii) Regions of irregularities in machining operations such as scratches on the
surface stamp mark, inspection mark etc.
(iii) Internal cracks due to defects in materials like blow holes.
These regions are subjected to stress concentration due to the crack. The
crack spreads due to fluctuating stresses, under the cross- section of the component is
20 reduced that the remaining portion is subjected to sudden fracture.
(i) Regions indicating skew growth of crack with a fine fibrous appearance.
(ii) Region of sudden fracture with a course granular appearance.
30
In the case of failure under static load, there is always sufficient plastic
deformation prior to failure which gives warning well in advance.
ENDURANCE LIMIT
The fatigue or endurance limit for a material is defined as the maximum
value of completely reversing stress that the standard specimen can sustain for an
unlimited number of cycles with out fatigue failure. The endurance limit is denoted
by
1
Se
is considered as a criterion of failure under fluctuating.
ENDURANCE LIMIT APPROXIMATE ESTIMATION
The laboratory method for determining the endurance strength of materials
although more precise, is laborious and time consuming.
When the laboratory method for determining endurance strength of material
is not available then another as explained below is used
Se
- Endurance limit stress for a rotating beam specimen subjected to reversed
bending stress (N/mm
2
)
Se Endurance limit stress for a particular mechanical component subjected to
reversed bending stress (N/mm
2
)
The approximate relationship between the endurance strength and ultimate
strength (tensile) is given as:
ut
Se 0.5 S
For steels
ut
Se 0.4 S
For cast iron and cast steels
While designing a mechanical component, it is unrealistic to expect that its
endurance limit will match the values obtained in the laboratory standard test and
controlled condition.
Therefore the laboratory derived endurance strength needs a correction. Thus
the endurance strength of a mechanical part can be found out by:
a b c d e
Se k k k k S

k

- Surface finish factor

c

Modifying factor to accurent for stress concentration.
The rotating beam specimen has a highly published surface which is free
from scratches. When the surface finish is poor the endurance strength is reduced
because of scratches. The variation in surface finish between the specimen and
component is accounted by surface furnish factor (k
a
).
The size factor k
b
depends upon the size of the cross section as the size of the
component increases, the surface area also increases, resulting in greater number of
surface defects.

ENDURANCE LIMIT
The fatigue or endurance limit for a material is defined as the maximum value
of completely reversing stress that the standard specimen can sustain for an
unlimited number of cycles without fatigue failure.
The endurance limit, denoted as Se is considered as the criterion of failure
under fluctuating stress.
In the laboratory, the endurance limit is determined by means of a rotating
beam machine.
The rotating beam machine is developed by R.R. Moore.
32
The test specimen is of standard size and has a highly polished surface. It is
rotated by an electric motor and numbers of revolutions before the
appearance of the first crack are recorded on a revolution counter.
Self aligning ball bearings are used to ensure that only radial loads are
applied to the specimen.
Test specimen is subjected to pure bending moment, and magnitude of
bending stress is adjusted by means of weights.
To determine endurance limit stress of a material large numbers of tests are
carried out.
SODERBERG AND GOODMAN DIAGRAMS
When a component is subjected to fluctuating stresses the stresses are
resolved in to two components, mean stress
m
and stress amplitude
a
. The
fatigue diagram for the general case is shown in fig.
In this case mean stress is plotted on the abscissa, with tensile stress to right
of the origin and compressive stress to its left. The stress amplitude is plotted
on the ordinate.
The magnitude of
m
and
a
depends upon the magnitude of force acting on
the component.
When stress amplitude
a
is zero, the load is purely static and criterion of
failure is S
ut
or S
yt
.
These limits for tension as well as for compression are plotted on the
abscissa.
When the mean stress
m
is zero, the stress is completely reversing and
criterion of failure is endurance strength S
e
, which plotted on the ordinate.
When the component is subjected to both types of stresses
m
and
a
, the
actual failure occurs at different scattered points as in the figure.
A 2t line joining S
e
on the ordinate to S
ut
on the abscissa is called the
Goodman line.
33
While a line joining S
e
on the ordinate to S
yt
on the abscissa is called
soderberg line.
The Goodman line or Soderberg line are used as criteria of failure when the
component is subjected to mean stress as well as stress amplitude.
MODIFIED GOODMAN DIAGRAM
The components which are subjected to fluctuating stresses are designed by
constructing the modified Goodman diagram. For the purpose of design the
problems are classified into two groups.
Components subjected to axial or bending stress due to fluctuating force or
bending moment.
Components subjected to fluctuating torsional shear stress.
Modified Goodman diagram for axial or bending stress
In this diagram, the yield strength S
yt
is plotted on both the axes abscissa
and ordinate, and a line is drawn to given these two points to define failure by
yielding.
Another line is constructed to join S
e
on the ordinate with S
ut
on the abscissa,
which is the Goodman line.
There will be a point of intersection of two lines. The area under curve
represents the region of safety for components subjected to fluctuating loads.

THEORIES OF FAILURE
The mechanical properties are generally obtained by the simple tension test.
The simple tension test gives information about the tensile yield strength, the
ultimate tensile strength and percentage elongation.
The relationship between the strength of a mechanical component subjected
to a complex state of stresses and mechanical properties of simple tension test is
obtained by theories of simple tension test is obtained by theories of failures. With
the help of these theories, the data obtained in the simple tension test that can be used
35
to determine the dimensions of the component, irrespective of the nature of stresses
induced in the complex loads.
MAXIMUM NORMAL STRESS THEORY
This criterion of failure is accredited to British engineer W.J.M. Rankine
(1850).
The theory states that the failure of the mechanical component subjected to
bi-axial or tri-axial stresses occurs when the maximum normal stress reaches the
yield or ultimate strength of the material.
If
1
,
2
and
3
are three principal stresses at a point on the component
and

1
>
2
>
3
Then according to this theory, the failure occurs whenever

1
= S
yt
OR
2
= S
ut
whichever is applicable.
The theory considers only the maximum principal stresses and disregards the
influence of other two principal stresses.

Maximum Shear Stress Theory
This criterion of failure is accredited to CA Coulomb H. Tresca and J.J.
Guest. This theory states that the failure of a mechanical component is subjected to
bi-axial or tri-axial stresses occurs when the maximum shear stress at any point in the
component become equal to the maximum shear stress in the standard specimen of
the simple tension test, when yielding starts. The stress in the specimen and
correspond Mohrs circle diagram.

The square represents the region of safety. If a point with co-ordinates

DISTORTION ENERGY THEORY
37
This theory was advanced by M.T. Huber in Poland 1904 and independently
by R. Von Mises in Germany (1913) and H. Henky (1925). It is known as Huber van
Mises and Henkys theory. This theory states that the failure of the mechanical
component subjected to bi-axial or tri-axial stresses occurs when the S.E. of
distortion per unit vol. at any point in the component become equal to the S.E. of
distortion per unit vol. in a standard tension test specimen when yielding starts.

POWER SCREW
A mechanical device meant for converting rotary motion into translational
motion for transmitting power. Main applications of power screws are:
(i) Raise the load, eg: Screw Jack
(ii) Accurate motion in machine operation
40
(iii) To clamp work piece
(iv) To load a specimen
The main advantage of power screws are their large load carrying capacity
with small overall dimensions. Power screws are simple to design, easy to
manufacture and give smooth and noiseless service.
FORMS OF THREADS:
There are four types of threads used in power screws: They are acme, I.S.O.
metric, trapezoidal, and buttress.
Selection guide lines:
1. The efficiency of square thread is more than that of other types of threads.
2. Square threads are difficult to manufacture.
3. The strength of a screw depends upon the thread thickness at the core
diameter.
4. The wear of the thread surface becomes a serious problem in application like
the lead screw of the lathe.
5. Buttress thread can transmit power and motion only in one direction. While
square and trapezoidal threads can transmit force and motion in both
direction.

KNUCKLE JOINT
Knuckle join is used to connect two rods whose axes are either coincide or
intersect and lie in one plane.
The construction of this joint permits limited relative angular movement
between rods in this plane about the axis of the pin.
The rods connected by knuckle joint are subjected to tensile force.
APPLICATION
Joint between the links of suspension bridge.
Joint in valve mechanism of reciprocating engine.
Fulcrum for levers.
Joint between tie bars in roof stress.
Knuckle joint is unsuitable to connect two rotating shaft which transmit torque.
ADVANTAGES
The joint is simple to design and manufacture.
The assembly or dismantling of parts of knuckle joint is quick and simple.
For the purpose of stress analysis of knuckle joint following assumptions are made:
i) The rods are subjected to axial tensile force.
ii) The effect of stress concentration due to holes is neglected.
43
iii) The force is uniformly distributed in various parts

Cotter joint is used to connect two co-axial rods, which are subjected to either
axial tensile or compressive force.
It is used to connect rod on one side with some machine parts like cross head
or base plate on the other side.
45
The principle of wedge action is used in cotter joints.
A cotter is a wedge shaped piece of made of steel plate.
The joint is tightened and adjusted by means of wedge action of cotter.

RIVETED JOINTS
Rivet Materials
Rivets are made of Wrought iron on soft steel for most uses, but where
corrosive resistance or light weight is requirement, rivets of copper or aluminium is
used.
Kinds of riveted joints: Joints may be single, double triple. If the rivets in the
rows are in line crosswise the joint is said to be chain riveted. While if the rivets in
adjacent rows offset by one half the centre to centre distance, then it is said to be zig-
zag riveted.
Failure of Riveted joints: These joints may fail in no. of ways, they are single
shear, double shear, failure by tearing of plate. Failure of margin, crushing of rivet or
hole. Failure by tearing due to bending of plate.
53
Design of a Riveted joint
1. Plates may tear in the line of mini section.
The line of mini section is the line through the centre of hole.
Area of plate along this line = (p d) t
Plate renaissance to lesion = (p d) t ft

Following two theories are important.

DESIGN OF CONNECTING ROD


Connecting Rods:
It is an intermediate link between the piston and the crank shaft of an IC
engine. The basic purpose of it is to transmit motion and force from piston to the
66
crank pin. It consists of a long shank, a small and a big end. The cross section of
shank may be rectangular, circular tubular, I-section or H-section. Length of
connecting rod (l) depends up on the ratio
l
r
, where r is the radius of crank.
Design of Connecting Rod:
In designing a connecting rod, the following dimensions are required;
1. Dimensions of cross-section of the connecting rod:

A connecting rod is to subjected to alternating direct compressive and


tensile forces; Hence the cross section of the connecting rod is designed as a strut and
the Rankines formulae is used.
A connecting rod as in figure-A, is subjected to an axial load W may buckle with X-
axis as neutral axis or Y-axis as neutral axis. The connecting rod is considered like
both ends hinged for buckling about X-axis and both ends fixed for buckling about
Y-axis.

2. DIMENSIONS OF THE CRANK PIN AT THE BIG END AND THE
PISTON PIN AT THE SMALL END:

Since dimensions of the crank pin at the big end and the piston pin at the
small end are limited. The crank pin at the big end has removable precision bearing
shells of brass or bronze or steel with a thin lining of bearing metal; on the inner
surface of the shell.
The allowable bearing pressure on the crankpin depends upon many factors such as
material of the bearing, viscosity of lubricating coil, method of lubrication and the
space limitation.
The value of bearing pressure may be taken as 7 N/mm
2
to 12 N/mm
2
depending up on the material and method of lubrication used.
69
The piston pin bearing is usually a phosphor bronze bush of about 3mm
thickness and the allowable bearing pressure may be taken as 10.5 N/mm

N/mm
2
.
Since the maximum load to be carried by the crank pin and piston pin bearing is the
maximum force in the connecting rod (F
c
). Therefore dimensions for these two pins
are determined for the maximum force in the connecting rod (F
c
) which is taken
equal to maximum force on piston due to gas pressure (F
L
) neglecting inertia forces.

PISTON MATERIALS

Cast iron is the most popular material used for the construction of piston
for low speed engines. Mostly closed grain pearlitic CI is used.

Limitation of CI is high weight density, which in turn increases the


inertia force.

Modern high speed engine uses aluminium.


DESIGN OF PISTON:
1. Piston Crown or Piston Head

Simplest piston crown is a flat type.

The selection of piston crown depends up on the requirement of volume


for the combustion chamber and valve arrangement.
The thickness of the piston crown can be calculated by using eqn. assuming the
crown to be a flat plate of uniform thickness and fixed at the edges;
