LPU :: Design of Machine Element ::Er Jai Verma

 A designer uses the basic principles of

the engineering and sciences.
He / She has the technical information
of the mechanical elements.
A machine is a combination of various
mechanical
elements.
A
design
engineer should know the relative
advantages/ Disadvantages of all.
Skill and imagination
Design phase
Need of the customer.

Product Specifications
The first step is regarding the preparation of all
the complete requirements of the product. Like
Output, Cost, reliability, Capacity of M/c.
In consumer product it would be appearance,
aesthetic look, noiseless performance, simplicity
in operation.
Product specifications are closely related with the
customer need.

Selection of Mechanism
In this procedure a designer will prepare the
rough sketches for the product possible
mechanism which will satisfy the need of the
customer.
Availability of raw material for the mechanism
Ease of manufacturing
Alternate mechanisms

Layout configuration
The next step in the design process is the
preparation of the block diagram showing the
general layout of the various process that has to
done for the process.

Designing of single element

Determine the force acting on the component
Selection of proper material depending upon
functional
requirement
(Strength,
rigidity,
hardness and wear resistance)
Determination of mode of failure.
Determine geometric dimensions including the
factor of safety, limits and tolerances.

Basic requirements of the M/C

elements
A machine consists of various
elements which different motions.
Each part of machine which has
motion wrt to other part is known as
element.
