Embodiment design is the part of the design process in which, starting from the principle

solution or concept of a technical product, the design is developed in accordance with technical
and economic criteria and in the light of further information, to the point where subsequent detail
design can lead directly to production.

4.2. Basic rules of embodiment design applied are:

I. Clarity

II. Simplicity

III. Safety

4.2.1 Sub - basic rules applied are:

 Fulfillment of technical function

 Economic feasibility

 Individual and environmental safety

4.3 Principle of Embodiment Design


 Minimum manufacturing cost:

Housing rather than casting sheet metals are used

 Minimum space requirement: all the designed part after assembly

 Minimum weight: Rollers, shaft

 Minimum losses : during manufacturing

 Optimum handling (crusher can be fixed on table or ground)

1. Principle of Direct and short force transmission path

 Minimum use of material : examples are , shafts

 Minimum deformation: shafts


2. Principle of balanced forces

To avoid deflection or unbalanced motion

 Gear: Bevel

 Shaft: fillet

3. Principle of balanced forces

 If the system is placed on the ground

- parts attached by welding
