INTRODUCTION THE MEANING OF DESIGN To design means to formulate a plan, usmg a systematic method, for the satisfaction of a human need. This also means that you should design something to be reliable and easily maintamable. The design, and the material used for it should also be readily available. A design problem can either be well defined, for example, a gear 1s giving trouble, redesign it so it can work better, or it can require considerable thought and effort m order to state the problem clearly, for example: many people are killed in aeroplane accidents. A second type of design situation 1s characterised by the fact that neither the need nor the problem has been identified. Examples of these are clothing design, computer-aided design, machine design, ete. In contrast to mathematical problems, design problems have no unique answers. A good answer today may tum out to be a bad answer tomorrow In our day-to-day living, most people are involved with design in one way or the other, The problem of designing a family excursion can be considered. The children would like to go on a picnic, dad would like to make a braat and mum would prefer to go to a restaurant. As these needs and desires are related to ume and money, vanous solutions may be found. Of these there may be one or more optimal solutions, but the solution chosen will include the menu, the transportation method if needed, name of venue, if necessary, etc. It 1s not difficult to see that there many complex factors involved in finding a solution to a problem. There are also many constrants, such as time and money, which must be taken into account. MEE231VE Chapterl WHAT IS MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN (MACHINE DESIGN)? Mechamal design means the design of things and systems of a mechanical nature (machines, products, structures, ete.) Most engineering courses are based on science. One of the most important aims of design subjects 1s to teach the student how to utilise all the theoretical knowledge learned in other subjects in a logical and systematic way to solve a particular problem. In most other subjects, when a problem 1s encountered, you immediately start to solve st. Design differs from other subjects 1n that knowledge and understanding of various topics are required and combined to produce a solution to a problem. In Engineering Design the necessity of understanding exactly the nature of the problem or project will be emphasised. Design involves more than science only, as indicated in the figure below THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE Experiential traning Strength of Materials Thermodynamics SKILL Creativity Imagination Fluid Mechanics Inventiveness Economics Law Figure 1.1 Design 1s the one subject in which the student will be encouraged to use his/her imagination and creativity This 1s a very important part of design and can only be improved by exercise. ‘MEE231VE Chapter! The design process therefore entails the establishment of a concept, using creative skills, ‘This concept 1s then divided into smaller components that can be solved using the knowledge gained in relevant subjects as shown above. Some of these smaller components may require additional knowledge of other subyects such as Electronics, of which you may not have sufficient know-how It 1s very important for you to recognise your own limitations and know when to request assistance from persons with the necessary additional skills. In practice more than one person will be involved in a design project, therefore teamwork will be of utmost importance. Design processes are not limited to staff in a design office. For example, a maintenance engineer recognising a problem may suggest a solution to such a problem and this could constitute the most important part of the whole design process. If you have an idea for solving the problem, you are already half way there. Dunng the execution of a certain design one should not expect the same results from the various groups of students, which 1s generally the case in other subjects, There can be as many varying results as there are students in a class, as the basic concepts of their designs may differ. The results of a design may vary from poor to excellent, It 1s sometimes difficult to predict the effectiveness of a design and this can only be determined after the design has been implemented in practice for some time. 1.2. THE DESIGN PROCESS STEPS The engineenng design process consists of six steps or stages. If you implement through these steps when doing a design, the chance of you forgetting something important will defimtely decrease. At the end of every stage a decision must be made whether continuation to the next stage 1s justified or whether a return to the previous stage 1s necessary This 1s dependent on whether the objectives of the previous stage have been met or not, A design process seldom advances from one stage to the next without going back to previous stages to eliminate shortcomings. Thus should not be considered as a waste of time or a failure but as a built-n mechanism to ensure that the design 1s improved as the process continues. MEE231VE Chapter! DESIGN PROCESS STEPS ‘STEP 1; IDENTIFICATION PROBLEM STEP 2: GATHERING OF INFORMATION STEP 4: PRELIMENARY IDEAS EVALUATION OF IDEAS IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DESIGN hb | MEE231VE ~6- Chapter] 1.21 Step Identification of the problem Generally problems remain unresolved when actions are taken without ensuring that the problem or the origin of the problem 1s understood. Initially the actual problem may not be obvious and only symptoms are apparent to the staff involved. At this stage one should keep an open mind and attempt to see not only the problem but also to understand its relationship with its environment, Sometimes a small adjustment ot alteration outside the problem area may eliminate or alleviate a symptom that was thought to be a problem, thereby preventing mayor undertaking. Once a problem 1s understood, 1t must be formulated in writing. Objectives to be met, specific requirements, unacceptable conditions and factors to be considered when the eventual performance of the designed object 1s to be evaluated, must be noted and written down, An example of a typical problem 1s that of a production manager of a canning plant who complains that he produces large quantities of waste which 1s building up on the production floor as he has no effective means of getting rid of 1. This problem needs to be analysed and discussed im order to determine what the real problem 1s and what to do about it. MEE231VE CChapterl a) Statement of the problem The problem should be stated clearly in one sentence. If this 1s not possible, then the problem 18 not understood clearly The statement of the problem consists of three basic components. ‘These are explained in the example below’ ‘Inthe first part of the sentence the ‘what needs to be done’ should be addressed, The purpose of this proyect is to design a conveyor belt with supporting structure Second the standard, code or principles on which the design will be based must be stated. According to the SABS 0162 Structural steel code ‘Finally the goal to be achieved or ‘why the design needs to be done’ 1s answered. So that the removal of 0,1 m’/sec of waste products from the canning plant can be maintained. (b) The sub-problems Some design projects will be too large to be handled by a single person. It 1s possible to divide projects into smaller sub-projects that will be easier to comprehend and solve. Sub- problems also assist to focus attention on specific problems at hand. Each sub-problem should be a complete project. The sub-problems for the problem above are: ‘Sub-problem 1. Design a conveyor belt with a total travel of 25m that can handle 0,1 m/sec of waste products from the canmng plant. ‘Sub problem 2: Design a structure for the conveyor belt with an inlet 2.5 m above ground level and outlet 3.5 m above ground level. MEE231VE : ~~ Chapterl (©) Delimitations In the problem statement and sub-problems the designer states exactly what will be done, It 1s also very umportant that the designer specifies what he does not intend to do. The delimtations for our example could be: The design will not mcorporate: 1. A variable speed for the conveyor 2. A mean whereby the structure can be moved from one place to another. (@ Assumptions The factors that will be taken for granted and that will not be incorporated into the design must also be clearly stated, for example: 1 the existing floor will be able to carry the structure. 2. the need for waste removal will stay constant at 0,1 m'/see 1.2.2. Step 2: Gathering of information In most subjects enough information 1s normally given in a problem to enable one to solve the problem without requiring additional information. In design and defimtely m real world situations this 1s not the case and therefore the gathering of relevant information 1s not always that obvious. The first important source of information 1s people. Information can be gathered from the people who will be volved with the final product, people who were previously involved in a similar project and representatives from various supply companies, Another important source 1s written material. This normally includes catalogues, reports, experimental data and design magazines. You can also look at similar designs made by other MEE231 VE. Chapter! engineers. By studying what they did and what mistakes were made, you can ensure that you do not make the same design. When collecting data you might find that your imital problem statement was not complete. Do not hesitate to alter the problem statement to elimmate uncertainties. This process of amending previous stages 1s very important and eliminates the possibility of mayor changes in your design at the final stage because of an initial misconception. 1.2.3 Step 3: Preliminary ideas ‘This 1s where your imagination and creativity plays a mayor role, Try to think of a number of different ways in which to solve your problem, Make sketches of your different ideas and vwnite down their advantages and disadvantages. Do not limit yourself by considering only traditional designs. If you work in a group, brainstorming sessions can be scheduled at which everyone involved can have a chance to explain his/her ideas and all the ideas can be discussed in detail so that the best ideas can be selected. No negative comments should be allowed. These ideas, with sketches, should be written down for future references. 1.2.4 Step 4: Evaluation of ideas Select the best ideas or combine some of the ideas from the previous stage, to create new possibilities. Preliminary calculations and a discussion with the end user of your design will now help to eliminate some of the ideas. Factors such as cost and availability of matenals, use of standard components and manufacturing techniques required should also be considered to lift out the best idea on which your design will be based. MEE231VE =10- ‘Chapter! 12.5 Step Analysis ‘At this stage the physical sizes and dimensions of various components must be calculated. The most important tool 1s calculations based on the theory of various engineering subjects. This knowledge will be ganed from the following Chapters in this course. As your theoretical and practical knowledge improves, your engineering intuition will also improve. Before you calculate an unknown value, try to estimate the value. If the calculated answer 1s not of the same order or magnitude as your estimation, you should check your reasoning and calculations. Be entical of your answers. There are also other means for determining unknown values. These include experiments, testing of models and testing of prototypes. Sophisticated tools for analysis are also available on the computer and include the finite element method, heat transfer and fluid flow analysis using finite volume method, 1.2.6 Step 6: Implementation of the design The graphical representation of your design started off with rough sketches and will now advance to detailed working drawings. These drawings will commumeate your final design to your customer and to the people involved in the manufacturing process. Documentation on starting up procedures, mechanics, adjustments, maintenance requirements and other relevant information should also be compiled. Time and money will normally put mayor restrictions on your design, tempting you to take shortcuts. Try to avoid this and adhere to the steps outlined above as they have proved themselves to produce the best results. MEE231VE “I Chapter! CHAPTER 2 MATERIAL SELECTION CONTENTS PAGE 2.1.

INTRODUCTION The selection of the correct materials 1s one of the most cnitical decisions in the design process. It 1s also one of the most difficult decisions because of the large vanety of materials available. 2.2. FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE MATERIAL SELECTION PROCESS Only the baste considerations for material selection will be considered in this chapter. The following books can be studied on this subject: 1, Machine Design for Engineering Technicians - V.R, Hamilton 2. Mechanical Engineering Design (4" Edition) - J.B, Shigley and L.D Mitchell 2.2.1 Cost, availability and mass Cost, availability and mass will always be important factors, especially in those cases where there are no special material requirements. If you plan to manufacture and sell the product that you are designing, it 1s necessary to consider using the most cost effective material as well as material that 1s readily available. As the product needs to be transported at a cost per kilogram, rt 1s also necessary to look at using matenal with a low mass. It1s also advisable to select the most basic matenal for a specific application m order to avoid undesirable phenomena normally associated with sophisticated special purpose materials, Example: When you design a pallet for transportation of heavy components from a supplier to a customer, you need a material that 1s light (as you pay transportation fees per kilogram), MEE231VE =13- Chapter 2 strong (because it must carry heavy components) and mexpensive. The best choice would be aluminium as it 1s light and strong although i 1s more expensive than other metals. It 1s not always possible to find a material that has all the night properties. When designing a container to carry nuts and bolts in, 1t makes more sense to use a light ‘matenal, such as plastic, otherwise you may pay more 1n transportation for the container than for its contents. It 1s also not necessary to use a material as strong as steel for this container as it 1s not necessary for it to be very strong. 2.2.2 Strength Strength and rigidity are factors that will influence the sizes of the various components 1n a design STRESS. ° STRESS A Su Su Sy Sy € STRAIN 0,002 (@) The stress-stram (b)__ The stress-strain diagram for ductile materials diagram for brittle matenals Figure 2.1 Typical tension test graphs for these types of materials are shown in figures 2.1(a) and (b). The ultimate (tensile) strength (Sy or Sy) in both cases corresponds to point A as indicated in the figures. For a ductile material, figure 2.1(a), the tensile yield strength (Sy) corresponds to MEE231VE 14. Chapter 2 point B. For a compression test the corresponding value 1s termed the compression yield strength (Syc). Matensals are normally classified as being either ductile or brittle. Materials with a percentage elongation of less than 10 % or with a Brinell hardness larger than 300, are classified as being brittle. In the case of a bnittle material, figure 2.1(b), where there 1s no apparent yield point, a 0,1 % or 0,2 % offset on the strain axis results in a stress value termed the proof strength or offset yreld strength, Sy (tenston) or Sye (compression). If a material 1s subjected to torsion the corresponding value 1s termed the torsional yield strength (Sy). High strength materials are available with some steels having an ultimate tensile strength of 1550 MPa and more. A stee! should never be used in its maximum strength condition, Le. as quenched, but should be tempered back sufficiently to obtan the necessary toughness required. 2.2.3 Factor of safety (n) Components are often misused or accidentally subjected to stresses greater than the design stress. Most materials have internal flaws, which will gradually propagate if the induced stresses are too large. A factor of safety 1s used to reduce the possibility of unexpected failure of a component, due to one of the above-mentioned and other factors. The allowable working stress (6) of a component can be based on the ultimate strength: o=Se 21 s ‘The more favoured method 1s to base the allowable working stress on the yield strength and to apply one of the theontes of elastic failure, oat 22 s Where S represents the yield strength m tension, compression or shear, depending on the specific case. MEE231VE -15- Chapter 2 2.2.4 Stiffness of a material If the extension or compression in a member due to a load disappears on removal of the load, then the material 1s said to be elastic, Most metals are clastic over a limited range of stress known as the elastic range. Most elastic materials obey Hooke’s law: ‘the strain 1s directly proportional to the applied stress’ ‘Thus: stress strain = constant, E Sek e The stiffness of a material 1s determined by its clastic modulus. Since most steels have approximately the same elastic modulus, they have approximately the same stiffness and there will be no gain in stiffness when substituting an inexpensive low carbon steel with an expensive alloy steel. ‘The elastic moduli of plastics are much smaller than steel, hence much thicker sections are required to carry, for instance, the same load m bending, The weight of the plastic required can however be reduced by placing a light core (e.g. honey comb) between two polymer plates. Carbon fibre layers could further strengthen this. 22.5 Fatigue ‘A metal subjected to repeated loading fails at a stress level below the ultimate tensile stress. The term "fatigue failure" 1s applied to such a fracture. The fatigue strength 1s measured by the number of repetitions of stress before fracture occurs. 2.2.6 High temperature applications Two main considerations apply for high temperature applications, namely high temperature strength and oxidation resistance. Most steels are suitable for use up to 350 °C. Above this temperature a loss in yield strength and elastic properties will occur and creep becomes significant. For use above 350 °C molybdenum can be added as alloying element to impart MEE231VE, -16- Chapter 2 improved creep resistance, while temperature exceeding 500 °C, chromium as alloying element 1s required to provide oxidation resistance It 1s an important consideration that the operating temperature of quenched and tempered steels should be at least 50 °C lower than the tempering temperature, 2.2.7 Weldability Weldability of the matenal can m some cases be an important selection criterion. For steels the weldability 1s determined by the carbon equivalent (CE) for which the formula 1s as follows: %Mn , %Cr+V+Mo , %Cu+Ni 5 15 CE=%C+ 23 Asa general guide the following applies: CE<0,41 No special precautions required CE. 0,41-0,45 Low hydrogen electrodes or pre-heat CE> 0,45 Low hydrogen electrodes and pre-heat CE>08 Special procedures required 2.28 Corrosion Many forms of corrosion are active under different conditions, such as: Atmospheric corrosion in air, natural water and the soil (referred to as rusting in ordinary steels). Stress corrosion cracking 18 confined to specific alloy/environment combinations, e.g. brasses in ammonia, austenitic stainless steels in chlonde contammg media, high strength aluminium in humid aur and carbon steel in concentrated caustic, MEE231VE, -17- Chapter 2 Pitting 1s a localised attack, mostly on the passive matenals, e.g. stanless steels and aluminum, Intergranular corrosion often takes place along sensitised grain boundaries and an important case in hand 1s some welded austenitic and fernitic stainless steels in slightly corrosive media. Galvanic corrosion can occur where materials with substantial difference m corrosion tendencies are coupled m suitable media, Crevice corrosion ~ in many respects similar to pitting, DESIGN MATERIALS The South African Institute of Steel Construction drew up a handbook to provide current practical information to assist 1n the use of steel in design and construction. In this handbook up to date information 1s given on steel, steel products and sections available in South Africa, Throughout the Machine Design MEE231VE notes, standard sizes and dimensions are given where needed for calculation purposes. Any student who wants more knowledge on the available products and their dimensions 1s referred to the handbook above.

INTRODUCTION ‘What 1s a rod connection and what 1s it used for? In order to make it easter to remove, service or disassemble certain machine parts, they can be connected using the knuckle joint or the cottered jot. Sometimes these connections are designed to be the weakest link in an assembly This helps prevent failure or damage to more expensive components, as this connection will fail first. In this course we will look at two different connections. The first, called a knuckle joint, 1s an example of a connector where freedom of movement 1s possible. The second connection, called a cottered jomnt, 1s a rigid connection where no freedom 1s allowed. 3.2. THE KNUCKLE JOINT What 1s a knuckle joint? The knuckle jomt 15 used to connect two bars that require a small axial movement in one plane, The joint consists of 3 parts, that 1s: The single eye forged with rod A The double eye o fork forged with rod B The pin which connects the two parts A and B MEE231VE -20- Chapter3 The following symbols apply" F Axtal load 4 Diameter of the solid rods $s Double shear factor (use 1,75 unless otherwise stated) 4; Pin diameter 4; Outside diameter of eye- and fork ends ds Diameter of pin head t Thickness of eye end t1 Thickness of holed part of fork ends ty Thickness of solid part of fork ends (curved portion) ts; Thickness of pn head dy Mean diameter of taper pin Figure 3.1: Knuckle joint MEE231VE -21- Chapter 3 Where do we use knuckle jomts? Knuckle jomts are to be found in the te bars of a roof truss, links of a suspension bridge and the valve mechanisms of reciprocating engines. Tie bars of a roof truss. Figure 3.2: Knuckle jotnt on a roof truss. ‘What forces work in on knuckle joints? There are many different forces working 1n on a knuckle joint. Any one of these forces or a combination thereof can result in the failure of the joint. The following 1s a list of all these stresses and the relevant symbols: Su Ultumate tensile stress (pulling stress) Sic Ultumate compressive stress (pushing stress) Ss Ultimate shear stress S, Yield stress o Allowable tensile stress 6- Allowable compressive stress Allowable shear stress F Axtal load MEE231VE -22- Chapter 3 How do you design a knuckle joint? In order to design a joint, 1e. to determine its dimensions, one should take into account the stresses that the jomt 1s likely to encounter. To help with this issue, the following set of formulas was developed: To calculate the factor of safety ela Double shearing of the pin: dy xsxt ‘Tearing of the single eye: F=(d,-d,)txo, Crushing between eye end and pin F=d,xtxo, ‘Tearing of double fork end: F=(4,-4))ty x0, x2 Crushing between pin and double fork end: F=2xd,xt, x0, 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 MEE231VE, -23- Chapter 3 ‘Tearmg of curved section (solid part) of fork: F=2xbxt,xo, 38 The following standard ratios are applicable.

The single eye and fork end are made of a medium carbon steel with a carbon content of 0,3 % (normalised). ‘The pin 1s made of mild steel and a double shear factor of 2 may be assumed. Design a suitable joint and compare the calculated dimensions with the standard ratio dimensions. Assume a factor of safety of 3 and the following ultimate stresses: For medium carbon steel: Sy = 480 MPa, Ss. = For mild steel: ‘Su: = 430 MPa, Sx, = 340 MPa and S,< = 430 MPa. Solution How do I start to solve a problem? You start by following a set of ground rules and working through a problem systematically These rules can be applied in all the chapters of this course. The ground rules are the following: 1 Draw up a list of all the information given to you in the problem statement 2. Draw up alist of what 1s asked of you. 3 Find a formula to calculate one of the values in 2 above, using the information given to you. 4, Repeat steps 2 to 4. MEE231VE -25- Chapter 3 ‘The given information in this example 1s as follows: Eye and fork~> carbon steel Pin—> mild steel Fo = 120kN S = 2 (double shear factor) s = 3 (factor of safety) Sw = 480 MPa Su = 380 MPa (Carbon steel Sy = 480 MPa Su = 430 MPa Su = 340 MPa ld steel Su = 430 MPa The following dimensions must be calculated in order to design a suitable joint. d, di, dh, t th. Investigate the given information and the given formulas and determine what you can calculate first. In this case, the tensile and compressive stresses as well as the shear stress can be calculated for both the fork and eye end and the connecting pin. As stated before, you cannot start designing a joint (calculate dimensions) if you do not know with what stresses it should be able to cope.

THE COTTERED JOINT What 1s a cottered joint? This type of yout features a rigid fixing in both planes of a two dimensional set-up (no movement allowed in any direction) ny Y 7 ZA Socket ) (q) cottered joint with enlarged socket (b) socket not enlarged If the load i a rod alternates between tension and compression, usually the end of one rod 18 turned either cylindrically or tapered and fits into a socket on the other rod, the two being connected together by a cotter. The cotter 1s a tapered plate whose width 1s several times its thickness. The ends of cotters should be bevelled so that they do not spread under the hammer blows when driven into position. MEE231VE -30- Chapter 3 To force the two ends together it 1s necessary to taper the cotter on one side, the taper being 1 mm to 4 mm per 100 mm. The clearance in the rod 1s on the opposite side to the clearance in the socket, the clearance being approximately 3 mm. The following symbols apply F — Axtal load d Diameter of solid rods dy Inner diameter of socket (diameter of enlarged or not enlarged pierced rod) 4 Outer diameter of socket (not enlarged portion) 4; Outer diameter of the socket (enlarged portion) dy Diameter of collar b Mean breadth of the cotter t Width of the cotter ty Width of the collar bi Width of the enlarged socket bo Mean edge distance of pierce on rod end. The locking effect of this type of connection 1s obtaned by driving the cotter into the pierced rod- and socket ends of the rods to be connected. A clearance of approximately 3 mm (refer to the figure) will ensure a positive locking action, of the cotter and will also ensure that the entire load path 1s via the cotter. ‘How do you design a cottered joint? The same stresses as listed atove for knuckle jomts also apply to the cottered yomts.

Riveting 1s one of the oldest methods of fastening and jommg. Even though welding and other modern, more advanced methods are now used more frequently, it 18 still very important as an assembly technique. ‘Any material that can be cold worked can be made into rivets, but low- and medium carbon steels are used about 95% of the tume. Other popular rivet materials are brass and copper alloys, alumimum and aluminium alloys, high-alloy and stamless steels and precious metals such as silver alloys used for electrical contacts and jewellery Its possible to produce these jomnts in large quantities at high speed and at much lower cost than threaded fasteners, that 1s bolts and screws. ‘The tensile and fatigue strength of riveted Joints are lower than those of threaded fasteners and severe vibrations and cyclic loading may loosen nveted jomts. 4.2. CLASSIFICATION AND TYPES OF RIVETS AND RIVETED JOINTS In order to understand the calculation on rivets and riveted joints, it 1s necessary for you to know the different types of rivets and for what they are used. MEE231VE ~ 43 Chapter 4 What different types of rivets do you get? The following 1s a list of the different types of rivets used most commonly" 1 2. Solid nvets Semu-tubular rivets, where the ends split and fold against the plates to hold them in place Full tubular rivets, used for thinner plates Bifurcated nvets Compression types. These are used in the food industry as they feature a good fit into counterbored holes in order to prevent food from collecting mn crevices. (E=a+ Semr-tubular Compression Male Figure 4.1: Rivet types ‘What different types of rivet heads do you get? ‘There are many different types of rivet heads used for their esthetical value or their functionality Some are round or button heads, cone heads and countersunk heads. Round or button heads are most commonly used. Countersunk heads are weaker than the other types but are used where a smooth surface 1s required. WW WY ‘i ' 1! t Round or Cone Countersunk Button head head head Figure 4.2: Rivet heads MEE231VE -44- ‘Chapter 4 What types of riveted joints do you get? There are 3 different types of riveted joints, that is: 1 The lap jomt where the two plates to be jomted are simply laid over each other and riveted together. My a Ka 3 Figure 4.3: Lap joint 2. The butt jomnt where the plates to be joned are placed end to end and joined with the aid of one or two cover straps te Figure 4.4: Butt jomt MEE231VE -45- Chapter 4 3 The lozenge jomnt. This omnt 1s popularly used in applications such as towbars and features a balanced strength throughout the joint at the various rivet rows by means of a combination of the tear strength in the plate and the shear strength in the nvets. The more nvets used, the stronger the ont will be. Figure 4.5: Lozenge jot What different types of rivet row arrangements do you get? The arrangement of the nvet rows in a jomnt 1s also very important. Consecutive mivet rows can either be arranged in a cham- or a zig-zag pattern. The advantage of the zig-zag arrangement 1s that rivet rows can be spaced closer to obtain a more compact jont without a loss in efficiency Double nveted lap Double riveted lap jot jot im chain im diagonal or zigzag arrangement arrangement Figure 4.6: Rivet arrangements MEE231VE -46- Chapter 4 4.3. METHODS OF FAILURE How do you design a riveted joint? A series of formulas has been developed taking into account all the reasons why a joint will fail, When designing a jomt, it 1s necessary to use the correct one. When considering possible failure of riveted lap- and butt jomnts, consider the failure per pitch of rivets as this applies to all the rivet pitches of the entire joint.

"A cham 1s as strong as 1ts weakest link" In order to obtain a balanced design with reference to the strength of the nveted jomt in tear, shear, and crushing, the following measures can be taken: 41 42 43 Equating the tearing resistance of the weakened plate to the shearing resistance of the rivets. @-d)txo, =sxnxbxd? x 44 ‘This means that when the joint 1s subjected to a load, the resistance of the plate must be equal to the resistance of the rivets in shear per pitch.

Possibilities of failure for a Lozenge joint In order to obtain a suitable rivet diameter, it 1s common practice to equate the shear strength of the rivets to the compressive strength of the nvets. To obtain the number of rivets per side, MEE231VE “51- Chapter4 it 1s common practice to equate the shear strength of the weakened plate to the shear strength of the nvets. Before the failure of this joint can be investigated, the weakest of a single rivet in bearing or crushing (o; x d x t) and a single rivet in double shear ( x a x & x 1,75) must be determined.

Shafts may be subjected to various combinations of axial, tensile and compressive loads as well as torsion and bending and these may be applied under gradual-, sudden-, shock- or cyclic loading conditions. This chapter will deal with the design of circular cross section shafts subjected to pure torque and sometimes bending in combination. 5.2 THEORY REGARDING CIRCULAR SHAFTS 5.2.1 What is a circular shaft? Shafis are usually circular in cross-section, are made of round steel and can be either hollow or solid. Short, non-rotatng, circular shafts are referred to as spindles. An axle 13 a shaft, stationary or rotating, not subjected to a torsion load. Although not used very commonly other types of non-circular shafts also exist, but they do not feature the advantages of a carcular shafts. Shafts can have gears, pulleys, flywheels, cranks, sprockets and other power- transmission elements mounted upon them. 5.2.2 What is the advantages of a circular shaft?

The am of this chapter 1s to teach students the various methods of fixing a torque- transmitting component to a shaft and how to choose the correct method. ‘The method used depends on the size of the shaft and the magnitude of the torque to be transmutted. How do I choose the correct method? The classification of the various means of fixing a hub to a shaft as given in the following paragraphs of this chapter 1s not based on the maximum torque that can be transmitted, but rather on the percentage of the torque-carrying capacity of the shaft that can be transmutted by the torque-transmutting element, e.g. key In a light duty application, a relatwvely small torque needs to be transferred by the element as compared to the maximum torque the shaft can carry In the case of keys and splines the comparison should also be based on per unut length of the key or spline, The safety factors in table 1 can be used for pins, keys and splines when solving problems in this chapter.

The diameter of the pins 1s approximately one fourth of the shaft diameter.

Any musalignment will cause damage to the shaft support bearmgs. These couplings will also transmit shock, vibration and torque fluctuations from one shaft to the other. 2, Flexible couplings Flexible couplings can be subdivided into two groups: @ (b) Couplings with shock-absorbing components. ‘These couplings have the advantage im that they can absorb shock loads and small amplitude vibrations and can accommodate incidental, parallel, angular and axial displacement of the connected shafts. The shock absorbing components usually consist of natural or neoprene rubber. The tyre coupling can accommodate parallel misalignment of up to 6 mm, an end float of up to 8 mm and an angular displacement of upto 4° An Essex coupling, which 1s less expensive than the tyre coupling, can accommodate a parallel displacement of 0,38 mm and 1 ° angular. Couplings with kinematic flexibility ‘The components cannot absorb impact loads and vibrations but they can be used for a vanety of direct-dnven mdustrial equipment where the coupling must have an exceptional ability to cope with (not absorb) shock, pulsating, and reversing loads. A Gear coupling 1s a typical example. Gear couplings are expensive and require more mauntenance than most other types of couplings.

(Last the shaft diameter, required r/min, power to be transmitted and the parallel, angular and axtal displacements) 2. If any of the listed factors are applicable for your application, eliminate the coupling types that are not suitable: © distance between shafts * absorption of torsional vibrations and shock loads * couplings must cope with shock, pulsating and reversing loads © drive must be maintained sf shock absorbing parts of coupling fails 3. Make a selection using the following criteria: © cost of maintaining the coupling © price of the coupling 6.2.5 Universal joints Universal joints are used to connect rotating shafts with an angular misalignment (not colinear) of up to 35 ° for a single joint, depending on the speed. Double universal joints can accommodate a total working angle of up to 70 ° and can also connect offset parallel shafts. The main disadvantage of this type of jomnt 1s that the angular velocity of the driven shaft will not be constant if the angular velocity of the driver 1s constant, It can be shown that the angular velocity of the driven shaft will fluctuate between: Angular velocity of driver x cos (angle between two shafts) Angular velocity of driver - cos (angle between two shafts) MEE231VE -106- Chapter 6 63 SELF-STUDY 50 KW 1s transmitted by 2 90 mm diameter shaft running at 80 rev/min, The dnving pulley key 18 70 mm long, determine its width if the shear stress in the matenial 1s not to exceed 72 MPa.

The biggest culprit in effecting the efficiency of a moving mechanical system 1s friction. To reduce the friction, bearings are used together with the right lubrication. The most important function of bearings 1s to separate two elements so that no rubbing (friction) will occur. Most bearing manufacturers provide engineering manuals and brochures containing deser:ptions of the various types of bearings available. The object of lubrication 1s to reduce fiction, wear and heating of machine parts which move relative to each other. A lubricant 1s any substance that can be inserted between two moving, areas and gain the above-mentioned result. To improve the lubrication of a bearing means to actually improve the bearing. 7.2 THEORY REGARDING PLAIN BEARINGS AND LUBRICATIONS: 7.2.1 What types of bearing are available? Bearings may be divided into two mam categories: (a) Rolling contact beanngs These are bearings where the rolling elements are set between the inner and oute: bearing rings. The lubrication material 1s then put between the rolling elements to prevent or MEE231VE -110- Chapter 7 minimize friction. A number of bearings are available with seals on one or both sides. Bearmngs with seals on both sides are lubricated at the factory (6) Plain bearings Plam bearmngs can be divided mto journal bearmgs and thrust bearings. In these bearings the relative motion 1s sliding and not rolling as in the rolling contact bearings. These bearings consist of a shaft or journal sliding inside a sleeve. A thin film of lubrication 1s inserted between the journal and the bearing. ‘These bearmgs can be used in a very broad spectrum of applications. Shaft Bearing In this chapter we will pay more attention to plain bearings. 7.2.2 Whats viscosity? Consider a plate (part of a mechamcal system) that moves on a layer (film) of lubricant with a thickness of h. The lubricant film consists of many parallel layers which slides on one another as a result of a force F_ The velocity of the layer right next to the moving plate 1s U The layer on the farthest side of the moving surface, next to the stationary surfece has a velocity of zero. The rest of the layers has a velocity directly proportional to their distances (y) from the stationary surface. Moving plate Layers of lubricant —Fu Stationary surface MEE231VE. “1+ ~~ Chapter 7 The layers of lubricant are subjected to a shear stress t, and if y.1s the absolute viscosity, then the following formula applies: tape 2m 71 The unt for viscosity 1s N.s.m* or centipoise (CP), and from this it follows that the unst for + =N.m" or Pa One of the methods used to determine viscosity 1s the Saybolt Universal Viscosimeter. The viscosity 1s determined by measuring the time in seconds needed for a 60 ml of lubricant to flow through a tube 17,6 mm in diameter and 12,25 mm long. The influence of gravity 1s used to make the fluid flow through the hole. The result of this method 1s called linematie viscosity (Z5) and a flow of one square centimeter per second 1s called a stoke. ‘The formula for kinematic viscosity 1s the following: ZL, = (o2a-182) 712 Where, Zk =m centistokes (cSt) t= number of seconds Saybolt in SSU (Saybolt universal seconds) To convert kinematic viscosity to m’/s, the following conversion 1s used vv (m/s) = 10°Zk Thus, formula 7.2 becomes; ve (oa2e -2 ho 73 MEE231VE -112- Chapter 7 To convert the kmematic viscosity to dyname (absolute) viscosity, we muluply v by the density; 74 Where, }1= dynam viscosity in Pa.s or mPa.s (milli Pascal per second p=oil density in kg/m? t = time in seconds (SSU) To calculate the density (p), the following formula can be used; p =890 —[0,63(T, —15,6)] 75 T. = Operating temperature in ° Celetus 12.3. Petroff’s law Petroff was the first to explain bearing friction. He used the assumption that the shaft and bearing were concentric, Petrofi’s law 1s portant because it predicts a good coefficient of friction even when the shaft 1s not concentric with the bearing, MEE231VE -113- Chapter 7 Nels Figure 7.1 The following can be defined from the shearing stress equation: . cept c Force(F) = txarea (A) nau 5 16 F = Friction force [N}, or _ Fretion torque Te shaftradius T A=2nel [m?] U = 2at.N where r= shaft radius and N = rev/second [m/s] IN] ¢~ Bearing diameter—Shaft diameter _ = bearing clearance MEE231VE. -114- Chapter 7 From the formulas above, the following formula for friction torque (T,) can be derived: T, = (tA) = Caan) un?

MEE231VE. -116- Chapter 7 7.2.4 What is lubrication? A lubricant 1s any substance which, when inserted between moving surfaces, reduces the friction, wear, and heating of machine parts. 7.2.5 What types of lubrication 1s available? Lubricants can be subdivided into 3 basic types: 1 Solid-film lubricants Examples of these types of lubricants are graphite and Teflon. They are used in extremely Ingh temperature circumstances where mineral oils are not satisfactory 2. Fluxd lubricants (@ Oils Oils can conta any number of different additives that can make them more useful for certain applications. Some of these additives are: anu-wear additwe, foam preventive additive, oxidation and corrosion mhibitors, detergents, pour point improvers, ete. (b) Grease Grease 1s used when retention of the lubricant 1s a problem. Greases are thick and can prevent harmful elements from entering the bearing proximity Greases can however not serve for cooling the bearg or for cleaning purposes since they cannot circulate, because they are so thick, 3 Gas lubrication Pressurised air can sometimes be used for lubrication MEE231VE -117- Chapter 7 7.2.6 Classification of oils ‘When the operating temperature increases, the viscosity of oil decreases. Figures 7.3 and 7 4 shows typical variations of viscosity against temperature, Multigrade oils react less critically to changes in temperature than the designation oils. The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers ) classifies oils according to viscosity into a series of viscosity bands. ‘This means that there could be a very small difference in the viscosity of the thinnest SAE 30 lubricating oil and the thickest SAE 20 oil. The SAE classifies oils m three types: 1 Single grade oils (SAE 70 or SAE 20) 2. "W" grade oils (SAE 10W or SAE 20W0) 3 Multigrade oils (SAE10W30 confirms to the viscosity of SAE 10W and to SAE 30) MEE231VE -118- Chapter 7 Example 7.1 ‘A 120 mm diameter shaft 1s supported by a journal bearing with a side diameter of 120,24 mm and a length of 80 mm.
