UNIT – I FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS IN DESIGN

Introduction to the design process - factors influencing machine design, selection of materials based on mechanical properties - Preferred numbers- Direct, Bending and torsional loading- Modes of failure - Factor of safety – Combined loads – Principal stresses – Eccentric loading – curved beams – crane hook and 'C' frame- theories of failure – Design based on strength and stiffness – stress concentration – Fluctuating stresses – Endurance limit –Design for finite and infinite life under variable loading - Exposure to standards.

UNIT – II DESIGN OF SHAFTS AND COUPLINGS

Shafts and Axles - Design of solid and hollow shafts based on strength, rigidity and critical speed – Keys and splines – Rigid and flexible couplings.

UNIT – III DESIGN OF TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT JOINTS

Threaded fasteners - Bolted joints including eccentric loading, Knuckle joints, Cotter joints – Welded joints- Butt, Fillet and parallel transverse fillet welds – welded joints subjected to bending, torsional and eccentric loads, riveted joints for structures - theory of bonded joints.

UNIT – IV DESIGN OF ENERGY STORING ELEMENTS AND ENGINE COMPONENTS

Types of springs, design of helical and concentric springs–surge in springs, Design of laminated springs - rubber springs - Flywheels considering stresses in rims and arms for engines and punching machines-- Solid and Rimmed flywheels- connecting rods and crank shafts

UNIT – V DESIGN OF BEARINGS AND MISCELLANEOUS ELEMENTS

Sliding contact and rolling contact bearings - Hydrodynamic journal bearings, Sommerfeld Number, Raimondi & Boyd graphs, -- Selection of Rolling Contact bearings –Design of Seals and Gaskets.

TOTAL: 60 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:

At the end of the course the students would be able to

1. Explain the design machine members subjected to static and variable loads.
2. Apply the concepts design to shafts, key and couplings.
3. Apply the concepts of design to bolted, Knuckle, Cotter, riveted and welded joints.
4. Apply the concept of design helical, leaf springs, flywheels, connecting rods and crank shafts.
5. Apply the concepts of design and select sliding and rolling contact bearings, seals and gaskets.
