Machine Design… …is an iterative process that has as its primary objective the synthesis of machines in which the critical problems are based upon material sciences and engineering mechanics sciences. This synthesis involves the creative conception of mechanisms, and optimization with respect to performance, reliability and cost. • Machine design does not encompass the entire field of mechanical engineering. Design where the critical problems involve thermal/fluid sciences fall under the broader category of “mechanical engineering design. ” • The primary objective of machine design is synthesis, or creation, not analysis. Analysis is a tool that serves as a means toward an end. Increasing Stress Finite element model of a pickup truck floorpan assembly

The Traditional Design Process

Preliminary Design Phase Often the first step in which a designer becomes involved, and may not involve intense iteration. In this phase, we deal with the entire machine: • Define function • Identify constraints involving cost, size, etc. • Develop alternative conceptions of mechanism/process combinations that can satisfy the constraints Concept 1 Two longitudinal members, one trans-verse split-end cross member, small transverse member in transmission tunnel, rear transverse member similar to original, gauge reduction. • Perform supporting analyses (thermodynamic, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, kinematics, force, stress, life, cost, compatibility with special constraints) • Select the best mechanism Concept 6 Two integrated, split transverse cross members, rear transverse member similar to original, reduced sheet thickness in cross members. • Document the design Alternative design concepts for cross members in a light-duty truck floorpan assembly

Intermediate Design Phase Generally occurs after preliminary design, but the two phases may overlap. Intermediate design always involves iterations. In this phase, we deal with individual components of the machine: • Identify components • Define component functions • Identify constraints involving cost, size, etc. • Develop tentative conceptions of the components mechanism/process combinations using good form synthesis principles • Perform supporting analyses (including analyses at each critical point in each component) • Select the best component designs • Document component designs; prepare a layout drawing Front Reinforcement Corner Reinforcement A-pillar component geometries

Detail Design Phase Subsequent to intermediate and. In this phase, we deal with individual components of the machine and the machine as a whole: • Select manufacturing and assembly processes • Specify dimensions and tolerances • Prepare component detail drawings • Prepare assembly drawings Line rendering of a pickup box assembly showing geometric details such as wheel well openings, cross members, and bed corrugation Lecture material in this course focuses on the preliminary and intermediate phases. The design projects will involve elements of detail design

Design Considerations The design of a component or system may be influenced by a number of requirements. If a requirement affects design, it is called a design consideration. For example, if the ability to carry large loads without failure is important, we say that strength is a design consideration. Most product development projects involve a number of design considerations: - Strength/stress - Distortion/stiffness - Wear - Corrosion - Safety - Reliability - Friction - Usability/utility - Cost - Processing requirements - Weight - Life - Noise - Aesthetic considerations - Shape - Size - Thermal properties - Surface finish - Lubrication - Marketability - Maintenance - Volume - Liability - Scrapping/recyclability

Standards and Codes Standards and codes represent a prescriptive approach to design that may be incorporated into a design process. Standards A set of technical definitions and guidelines for designers and manufacturers. Standards are written by “experts” and are considered voluntary. ASME groups develops and maintains standards using committees. Code A set of standards that has been adopted by one or more governmental bodies or incorporated into a contract. Essentially, a code is a set of standards with the force of law behind it. According to its web site, ASME “maintains and distributes 600 codes and standards used around the world for the design, manufacturing and installation of mechanical devices. ”

ASME Standards for Screw Threads (2) B 1. 1 -1989 Unified Inch Screw Threads (UN and UNR Thread Form) Scope: This Standard specifies the thread form, series, class, allowance, tolerance, and designation for unified screw threads. (In order to emphasize that unified screw threads are based on inch modules, they may be denoted unified inch screw threads. ) Several variations in thread form have been developed for unified threads; however, this Standard covers only UN and UNR thread forms. For easy reference, a metric translation of this Standard has been incorporated as Appendix C. Appendices A through C contain useful information that is supplementary to the sections of this Standard. Order No. M 020889 $55. 00

ASME Standards for Screw Threads (3) B 1. 7 M-1984 (R 1992) Nomenclature, Definitions and Letter Symbols for Screw Threads Scope: The purpose of this Standard is to establish uniform practices for standard screw threads with regard to the following: a. Screw thread nomenclature, and b. Letter symbols for designating features of screw threads for use on drawings, in tables of dimensions which set forth dimensional standards and in other records, and for expressing mathematical relationship. This Standard consists of a glossary of terms, and illustrated table showing the application of symbols, and a table of thread series designations. Many of the terms and symbols specified in this Standard vary considerably from those of previous issues because ISO terms and symbols have been adopted where the intended definition is the same.

Economics Strength, safety, reliability, and cost are perhaps the most important design considera-tions. In general the design alternative that satisfies other design considerations at the lowest costs is to be preferred. Issues affecting the “cost” of a design include: • • • Product development costs Material choice Manufacturing processes involved Economies of scale Tolerances specified Use of standard sizes and components Breakeven point for two different screw manufacturing processes

Safety and Reliability Safety is paramount, most importantly because it is an ethical issue. Safety is also related to function. Safe designs tend to function well and perform reliably. The United States law recognizes the concept of strict reliability. The manufacturer of a product is responsible for any damage or harm that arises due to a defect in the product. It doesn’t matter how long after manufacture the damage occurs, or if the defect is due to a design flaw or manufacturing error. Negligence does not have to be proven. A plaintiff only has to establish that the product was defective and that the defect caused damage or harm.

Uncertainty – Inherent in Engineering Design Sources of Uncertainty • Random variables associated with material processing result in strength distributions that vary from sample to sample. Some samples will have strengths greater than the specified value. Others – hopefully a very few – will have strengths lower than the specified value. • Statistical scatter in critical dimensions specified into the design during the detail design phase due to imperfections in manufacturing processes. • Approximations used in the analytical expressions used to perform design calculations. • Inexact knowledge of the magnitude and tie history of external loads. • Effect of corrosion and wear on strengths.

Dealing With Uncertainty (1) Permissible Stress Method • Permissible stress in a design is based upon a fraction of material strength. The actual fraction is based upon experience with successful designs. Still used by civil engineers and for the design of weldments. Design Factor Method • There is a difference between a design goal, which may be based upon experience (often involving load) and design realization which is based upon a specific failure criterion (often involving stress) quantified by a strength value:

Dealing With Uncertainty (2) Stochastic Design Factor Method • Stochastic means involving random variables, and uncertainty in strength and stress can be statistically quantified. • The design factor equation can then be adapted to use to determine a mean design factor. For a linear load stress relationship: Stochastic Method • Does not use a design factor. Based upon the concept of reliability, R:
