Mechanical Engineering Design
in Broad Perspective

 15
Engineering design is 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 its
realization.

A Machine is:
(1) An apparatus consisting of interrelated units, or
(2) A device that modifies force or motion

A Structure has no moving parts, e.g. bridges, buildings.

 A machine is a device that
transforms energy
Has fixed and moving parts
Connects the source of power and
the work to be done
In case of motor and generator
electricity is converted to mechanical
movement and vice versa
In IC engine, connecting rod and
crank shaft transfers energy
The design process

Design involves constrained creation

Constraints:
Technology limits
Human and environment concerns
Durability and reliability
Cost
Market requirements
Etc.
Thedesign process
REPRESENTATION Basic requirements to be able to
PERCEPTION perform a design
KNOWLEDGE All the above interacts in your
INTUITION judgment even if you are not
aware of it
CONCEPT
You have to train your judgment
PURE CONCEPT to be able to perform solution-
EMPIRICAL CONCEPT solving based thinking
NOTION
IDEA
The design process

A design is created after analysis, full

understanding of requirements and
constraints and synthesis
Two individuals may not come with the
same solution to the same problem
Example: Connect two straight pipes ND 4 to
avoid leaking of the gas and to permit easy
maintenance of the segment
Solutions to the problem

The sections chosen for load determination in the previous examples were, by simple
inspection, clearly those subjected to the most critical loading.
In more complicated cases, however, several sections may be critical, and their locations
less obvious.
In such instances it is often helpful to employ an orderly procedure
of following the lines of force (approximate paths taken by the force, determined
by simple inspection) through the various parts, and noting along the way any sections
suspected of being critical. Such a procedure is illustrated in the following example.

52
Assumptions:
1. The weight of the yoke connection can be ignored.
2. The load is divided equally between the two prongs of the fork (the loads and
yoke connection are perfectly symmetrical).
3. The load in each prong is divided equally between the portions on each side of
the hole.
4. Distributed loads are represented as concentrated loads.
5. The effects of pin, blade, and fork deflections on load distribution are negligible.
6. The pin fits snugly in the fork and blade.
