Introduction:
A machine is defined as an apparatus using mechanical power and having several parts
(Mechanisms), each with a definite function and together performing a particular task. It is can
also be defined as a tool containing one or more parts that uses energy to perform an intended
action. Machines are usually powered by mechanical, chemical, thermal, or electrical means, and
are often motorized. Historically, a power tool also required moving parts to classify as a
machine. However, the advent of electronics has led to the development of power tools without
moving parts that are considered machines.
A combination of a number of bodies (link) assembled in such a way that the motion of one
causes, constrained and predictable motion to the others is known as a mechanisms. Thus, the
function of a mechanism is to transmit and modify a motion.

Machine element is a part of a machine represents a link, which is defined as a rigid body which
possesses at least two nodes which are points for attachment to other links
Machine design is defined as the use of scientific principles, technical information and
imagination in the description of a machine or a mechanical system to perform specific functions
with maximum economy and efficiency. This definition of machine design contains the
following important features:
1. A designer uses principles of basic and engineering sciences such a physics, mathematics,
statics and dynamics, strength of materials, thermodynamics and heat transfer, vibrations
and fluid mechanics. Some of the examples of these principles are
a. Newtons laws of motion
b. DAlemberts principle
c. Boyles and Charles laws of gases
d. Carnot cycles and
e. Bernoullis principles
2. The designer has technical information of the basic elements of a machine. These
elements include fastening devices, chain, belt and gear drives, bearing, oil seals and
gaskets, springs, shafts, keys, couplings and so on. A machine is a combination of these
basic elements. The designer knows the relative advantages and disadvantages of these
basic elements and their suitability in different applications
3. The designer uses his/her skill and imaginations to produce a configuration, which is a
combination of these basic elements. However, this combination is unique and different
in different situations. The intellectual part of constructing a proper configuration is
creative in nature.
4. The final outcome of the design process consists of the description of the machine. The
description is in the form of drawings of assembly and individual components
5. A design is created to satisfy a recognized need of customer. The need may be to perform
a specific function with maximum economy and efficiency.
Design Considerations
Sometimes the strength required of an element in a system is an important factor in the
determination of the geometry and the dimensions of the element. In such a situation it is said
that strength is an important design consideration. When it uses the expression design
consideration, it is referring to some characteristic that influences the design of the element or,
perhaps, the entire system. Usually quite a number of such characteristics must be considered
and prioritized in a given design situation. Many of the important ones are as follows (not
necessarily in order of importance):
1 Functionality 14 Noise
2 Strength/stress 15 Styling
3 Distortion/deflection/stiffness 16 Shape
4 Wear 17 Size
5 Corrosion 18 Control
6 Safety 19 Thermal properties
7 Reliability 20 Surface

Design of Machine Elements I (Unit I)
Some of these characteristics have to do directly with the dimensions, the material, the
processing, and the joining of the elements of the system. Several characteristics may be
interrelated, which affects the configuration of the total system.

Definition of a Code:
A code is a standard that has been adopted by one or more governmental bodies and is
enforceable by law. Any set of standards set forth and enforced by a local government agency for
the protection of public safety, health, industrial procedures for product
production,
ion, safety, quality
control etc., safety as in the structural safety of buildings (building code), health (health code),
requirements for plumbing, ventilation etc., (sanitary code) and the specifications for fire escapes
or exits (fire code).
Definition of a standard:
A standard consists of technical definitions and guidelines that function as instructions for
designers/manufacturers and operators/users of equipment. Standards can run from a few pages
to a few hundred pages and are written by professionals who serve on ASME committees.
Standards are considered voluntary because they are guidelines and not enforceable by law.
ASME publishes standards, accredits users of standards to ensure that they are capable of
manufacturing products that meet those standards, and provides stamps that accredited
manufacturers may place on their products to indicate conformance to a standard.
Standardization is defined as obligatory norms, to which various characteristics of a product
should conform. The characteristics include materials, dimensions and shape of the component,
method of manufacturing, testing and method of marketing, packing and storing of the product.
The following standards are used in mechanical engineering design:
1. Standards for Materials, their chemical compositions, Mechanical Properties and heat
Treatment
Example: Indian standards IS 210 specifies seven grads of grey cast iron designated as
FG150, FG200, FG220, FG260, FG300, FG350 and FG400. The number indicates ultimate
tensile strength in N/mm2.
Review of strength of materials:
In engineering practice, the machine parts are subjected to various forces which may be due to
either one or more of the following:
1. Energy transmitted
2. Weight of machine
3. Frictional resistances
4. Inertia of reciprocating parts
5. Change of temperature, and
6. Lack of balance of moving parts
The different forces acting on a machine part produces various types of stresses.
Load: It is defined as any external force acting upon a machine part. The following four
types of the load are considered to be important.
1. Dead or steady load: A load is said to be a dead or steady load, when it does not change in
magnitude or direction.
2. Live or variable load: A load is said to be a live or variable load, when it changes continually.
3. Suddenly applied or shock loads: A load is said to be a suddenly applied or shock load, when
it is suddenly applied or removed.
4. Impact load: A load is said to be an impact load, when it is applied with some initial velocity.
[Note: A machine part resists a dead load more easily than a live load and a live load more easily
than a shock load.]
Stress:
It is defined as the internal resistance offered by the machine component for any deformation
under the action of external force or load. Mathematically,

Some conversions for units of stress are as follows:
Mathematically,

When a component is subjected to two equal and opposite axial pulling force (tensile load) as
shown in Figure 1, then the stress induced at any section of the component is known as tensile
stress. The ratio of increase in length to the original length is known as tensile strain.

When a component is subjected to two equal and opposite axial pushing force (compressive
load) as shown in Figure 2, then the stress induced at any section of the component is known as
compressive stress. The ratio of decrease in length to the original length is known as compressive
strain.

When a body is subjected to two equal and opposite forces acting tangentially across the
resisting section, as a result of which the body tends to shear off the section as shown in
Figure 3, then the stress induced is called shear stress. The corresponding stain is known as
shear strain and it is measure in terms of angular deformation.

Stress-strain Diagram:
In designing various parts/elements of a machine, it is necessary to know how the material will
function/behave in service condition. For this purpose certain characteristics or properties of the
material should be known well in advance the machine design process. The mechanical
properties mostly used in mechanical engineering practice are commonly determined from a
standard tensile test. This test consists of gradually loading a standard specimen of a material and
noting the corresponding values of load and elongation until the specimen fractures. The load is
applied and measured by a testing machine. The stress is determined by dividing the load values
by the original cross-sectional area of the specimen. The elongation is measured by determining
the amounts that two reference points on the specimen are moved apart by the action of the
machine. The original distance between the two reference points is known as gauge length. The
strain is determined by dividing the elongation values by the gauge length.
The values of the stress and corresponding strain are plotted taking stress in y-axis and strain
x-axis. Such plot/diagram is known as stress-strain diagram of the material tested, as shown in
Figure 4
When designing machine parts/elements, it is desirable to keep the stress lower than the yield
stress or ultimate stress. This stress is known as the working stress or design stress or safe stress
or permissible stress or allowable stress.
Note: By failure it is not meant actual breaking of the material. Some machine parts are said to
fail when they have elastic deformation, and they no more perform their function satisfactory.
Factor of safety:
It is defined as the ratio of the maximum stress to the working stress. Mathematically,
Factor of safety = Maximum stress/Working or design stress
In case of ductile materials e.g. mild steel, where the yield point is clearly defined, the factor of
safety is based upon the yield point stress. In such cases,
Factor of safety = Yield point stress /Working or design stress = e/i
In case of brittle materials e.g. cast iron, the yield point is not well defined as for ductile
materials. Therefore, the factor of safety for brittle materials is based on ultimate stress.
Factor of safety = Ultimate stress / Working or design stress = u/i
This relation may also be used for ductile materials.
Selection of Factor of Safety (FOS):
The selection of factor of safety for designing a machine component depends on a number of
considerations, such as the material, mode of manufacture, type of stress, general service
conditions and shape of the parts. Before selecting a factor of safety, a design engineer should
consider the following points:
1. The reliability of the properties of the material and change of these properties during service
2. The reliability of test results & accuracy of application of these results to actual machine parts
3. The reliability of applied load
4. The certainty as to exact mode of failure
5. The extent of simplifying assumptions
6. The extent of localized stresses
7. The extent of initial stresses set up during manufacture
8. The extent of loss of life if failure occurs and
9. The extent of loss of property if failure occurs
Each of the above factors must be carefully considered and evaluated. The values of factor of
safety based on ultimate strength for different materials and type of load are given in the
following Table 1:
Table 1 Factor of safety for various engineering material under different load conditions
Material Steady load Live load Shock load

Wrought iron 4 7 10 to 15

Consider a circular bar of diameter d and length l, subjected to a tensile force P as shown in
Figure 5(a).
l l+l
P d P P d-d P
(b)
(a)
It is noticed that due to tensile force, the length of the bar increases by an amount l and the
diameter decreases by an amount d, as shown in Figure 5(b). Similarly, if the bar is subjected to
a compressive force, the length of bar will decrease which will be followed by increase in
diameter.
Every direct stress is accompanied by a strain in its own direction which is known as linear
strain and an opposite kind of strain in lateral direction, (at right angles to it), is known as lateral
strain.
Poissons Ratio:
It has been found experimentally that when a body is stressed within elastic limit, the lateral
strain bears a constant ratio to the linear strain. Mathematically,

in engineering practice.

Principal Stresses:
There are many situations when mechanical components are subjected to several types of loads
simultaneously. A transmission shaft shown in Figure 10 is a good example and is subjected to
bending as well as torsional moment at the same time, leads to bending stress and shear stress
respectively.
Bearing A Bearing B
In such cases, it is essential to determine the state of stresses to follow the safe design procedure.
State of stresses are estimated depending upon the nature of combined stresses acting on the
mechanical element.

considered here for analysis purpose as shown in Figure 11.

The normal stresses are acting perpendicular to the area under considerations and are denoted by
x and y in the X and Y directions respectively, while the shear stresses acts over the area and is
denoted by xy and yx.
xy indicates the shear stress acting on the area which is perpendicular to X-direction and is
acting in the Y-direction.
For normal stresses, tensile stresses are considered to be positive and the compressive stresses
are negative. The shear stresses are positive if they act in the positive directions of the reference
axis. It can be proved that, xy = yx
With this, principal stresses are calculated using the following relations:

According to this theory, the failure or yielding occurs at a point in a member when the
maximum principal or normal stress in a bi-axial stress system reaches the limiting strength of
the material in a simple tension test.
According to this theory, the failure or yielding occurs at a point in a member when the
maximum shear stress in a bi-axial stress system reaches a value equal to the shear stress at yield
point in a simple tension test.

According to this theory, the failure or yielding occurs at a point in a member when the distortion
strain energy (also called shear strain energy) per unit volume in a bi-axial stress system reaches
the limiting distortion energy (i.e. distortion energy at yield point) per unit volume as determined
from a simple tension test.

While selecting the theories of failure, the following general points should be used:
1. For ductile materials maximum shear stress theory and distortion energy theory is used,
where, the criterion of failure is yielding. It is assumed that the yield strength in tension is
equal to the yield strength in compression.
2. Distortion energy theory predicts yielding with precise accuracy, but involves slightly
complicated design calculations. This theory is used when the factor of safety is to be
held in close limits and the cause of failure of the component is being investigated. This
theory predicts the failure most accurately.
3. Maximum shear stress theory is used of ductile materials, if dimensions need not be held
too close and a generous factor of safety is used. The calculations involved in this theory
are easy.
4. The maximum principal stress theory is the proper choice for brittle materials.

Curved Beam:
[Ref: DDHB K Mahadevan 4th Edition, chapter 10, Page No. 159 onwards]
A curved beam is defined as a beam in which the neutral axis in unloaded condition is curved
instead of straight.
The following assumptions are made in the stress analysis of curved beam.
1. The material is homogeneous and obeys Hooks Law
2. Plane sections perpendicular to the axis of the beam remain plane after bending
3. The moduli of elasticity in tension and compression are equal
Following are the two factors which distinguish the analysis of straight and curved beams are:
The neutral and centroidal axes of the The neutral axis if shifted towards the
straight beam are coincident centre of curvature

The general equation for the stress at any fiber at a distance y from the neutral axis is given by,
H

& +
The maximum stress occurs either at the inner fiber or at the outer fiver and is given by,

Maximum compressive stress due to bending,

Note:
* For symmetrical cross-sections, such as Circular or Rectangular, the maximum bending stress
always occurs at the inner fiber.
* For unsymmetrical cross-sections, it is necessary to calculate the stresses at the inner as well
as outer fiber to determine the maximum stress.
