- What is Design? Automobiles are designed in terms of their external appearing (Aesthetic design), also (engine, transmission, brakes, suspensions, etc ) must be designed (Mechanical Design). We are more concerned in this course with Engineering Design, which can be defined as The process of applying the various techniques and scientific principles for the purpose of defining a device, a process, or a system in sufficient detail to permit it s realization. - What is Machine Design? The ultimate goal in machine design is to size and shape the parts (machine elements) and choose appropriate materials and manufacturing processes so that the resultant machine can be expected to perform its intended function without failure. - The Design Process?

- The Factor of Safety N = Strength / Stress Also (critical load / applied load), (maximum cycles / applied cycles), (maximum safe speed / operating speed). N >1 The safety factor can be thought of as a measure of the designer s uncertainty in the analytical models, failure theories, and material-property data used, and should be chosen accordingly. Ductile materials: N ductile MAX (F1, F2, F3) Brittle materials: N brittle 2 x MAX (F1, F2, F3)
- Standards and Codes The following standards are used in mechanical engineering design: 1. Standards for materials, their chemical compositions, mechanical properties, and heat treatment. 2. Shapes and dimensions of commonly used machine elements such as bolts, screws and nuts, rivets, belts and chains, ball and roller bearings, wire ropes, keys and splines, module of gears,.. 3. Standards for fits, tolerances, and surface finish of components,.. 4. Standards for testing of products, such as pressure vessels, boilers, overhead traveling cranes, wire ropes,.. 5. Standards for engineering drawing of components.
