Unit at a glance:
The subject machine design is the creation of new and better machines and improving the
existing one. A new and better machine is one which is more economical Inne overall
cost of production and operation.
Following are the general considerations in designing a machine component
1, Type of load and stresses caused by the load
2. Motion of the parts or kinematics of the machine
3. Selection of materials
4. Form and size of the parts
5. Frictional resistance and lubrication
6. Convenient and economical features
7. Use of standard parts
8 Safety of operation
9. Workshop facilities
10. Number of articles or units to be manufactured
IL. Cost of construction
12. Assembling.
Koad: is defined as any external force acting upon a machine part. The following four
types of load are considered:
a) Dead or steady load
b) Live or variable load -
©) Suddenly applied or shock load
4) Impact load
To balance the external forces, internal forces are set up at various sections of
This internal force per unit area at any section of the body is known ae strove
Stresses can be tensile,
at the surface of contact
f the body.
THe oF twisting moment), then the machine member is said to be subjected to torsion
‘The stress set up by torsion is known as torsional shear stress. It ie sere at the cenercieal
axis and maximum at the outer surface,
Bending Stress is a more specific type of normal stress Compressive and tensile forces
develop in the direction of beam axis under bending loads, These ferece induce stresses
on the beam, known as bending stresses,
POLY-DMEIntroduction to Machine Design DME.3
It has been observed that at any point in a strained material, there are three planes,
mutually perpendicular to each other which carry direct stresses only and no shear stress.
These perpendicular planes which have no shear stress are known as principal planes
and the direct stresses along these planes are known as Principal stresses.
In material science, fatigue is the initiation and propagation of cracks in a material due to
cyclic loading. Once a fatigue crack is has initiated, it grows a small amount with each
loading cycle, typically producing striations on some parts of the fracture surface.
The fatigue limit or endurance limit is the stress level below which an infinite number
of loading cycles can be applied to a material without causing fatigue failure.
In material science, creep is the tendency of a solid material to undergo slow deformation
while subject to persistent mechanical stresses. It can occur as a result of long term
exposure to high level stresses that are still below the yield strength of the material.
Factor of safety (FOS) is the ability of a systém’s structural capacity to be viable beyond
its expected or actual load. Factor of safety are based on: consequences of failure.
Previous experience, Accuracy of measurement of mechanical forces and material
properties. :
A stress concentration is a point in the part design where stress is significantly higher
than in the surrounding area. Stress concentrations are most commonly caused by an
abrupt change in the part’s geometry, typically around sharp corners, holes, notches or
grooves.

it? Explain with necessary sketch. [WBSCTE 2011]
Or,
What are the causes of stress concentration? Explain the methods to reduce
stress concentration. [WBSCTE 2016, 2018]
Answer:
cal shape, the simple stress "0
Whenever a machine part suddenly changes its geometri
stress due to sudden change in
longer remains the same but increases. This increase in
geometrical shape is called stress concentration.
Geometric discontinuities cause on object to experience a local increase in the intensity
of a stress field.
The stress concentrations occur near cracks,
cross-sectional area of the object.
It should also be noted that tool marks. Porosity in castings etc. may also give rise t
stress concentration effect.
High local stresses can cause the object to fail more quickly than if it wasn’t there.
Engineers must design the geometrical shapes ‘of the objects to minimize stress
concentrations.
In many design situations, it is not possible to altogether avoid the effect of stress
concentration, but it can be minimized by making logical changes in the design of the
sharp comers, holes and, changes in the
parts.

For example, a stepped shaft can be gradually reduced in diameter than abrupt reduction.
Another example, to reduce one of the worst types of stress concentrations, a crack, is to
drill a large hole at the end of the crack. The drilled hole, with its relatively large
diameter, causes a smaller stress concentration than the sharp end of a crack.
In mechanical design, stress concentration effects can be reduced by placing these
geometric features in a non critical stress zone.

How can properties of steel be improved? [WBSCTE 2017, 2019]
(b) State the reasons for the wide use of cast iron as an engineering material.
What advantages are obtained by mixing nickel to C.I and steel? [WBSCTE 2017]
Answer:
a) The materials. used in mechanical engineering design for manufacturing of various
products are broadly classified into two groups.
1. Metallic materials, 2. Non-metallic materials
Metallic materials can be further split into ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
Ferrous materials consist mainly of iron with comparatively small amount of other
materials. Ferrous materials are iron and its alloys suh as cast iron, grey cast iron
mnalleable cast iron, wrought iron and steel of low carbon content and high carbon
content.
Non-ferrous materials contain little or no iron. The materials are copper, zinc, tin, lead,
aluminium. The alloys produced by combining non-ferrous materials are brass, bronze,
gun-metal, duratumin etc.
Non-metallic materials include plastics, rubber, leather, carbon, wood etc.
There are three general ways to strengthen steel:
i) Chemical composition condition: By adding carbon, Mangenese (Mn) and other
alloying elements such as Nickel, Chromium, Molybdenum, properties of steel can be
improved. The effect of various alloying elements added to steel are:
Nickel: It increases strength of steel without decreasing ductility.
Chromium: Increase strength and hardness of steel.
Tungsten: It imparts hardness to steel and this hardness is retained even at high
temperature (hot hardness).
Molybodenum: It is used alongwith Cr and Mn to make alloy stee! highly tensile.
Vanadium: It increases tensile strength and reduces brittleness of steel.
POLY-DMEae
Introduction to Machine Desian DME.15
ii) By mechanical working such as hot working and cold working: Hot working
include forging, hammering, rolling etc. whereas cold working includes cold rolling,
warm forging or cold swaging. When the processing temperature’ of the mechanical
deformation of steel is above the re-crystallization temperature, the process is termed as
hot working; otherwise it is cold working. In hot working process, the grain structure of
the metal is refined and thus mechanical properties improved. Cold working improves
strength properties of the steel.
iii) By heat treatment of Steel: The best way of changing material property is to have
heat treatment. Very few steel alloys will alter mechanical properties via any technique
other than heat treating.
b) The cast iron is the product of a furnace, called cupole furnace in which pig iron is
charged along with coke and limestone.
‘The reasons for the wide use of carbon as an engineering material are:
i) It is the cheapest among all other types of ferrous metals.
It’s hardness is more than that of Mild steel and wrought iron.
) It possesses much wear resistance property
iv) Its compressive strength is much more than that of Mild steel and wrought iron.
v) It possesses good damping capacity.
vi) Some kind of east iron has good machineability.
vii) It can be cast almost to any size and form.
Advantage of mixing nickel to C.1:
Nickel is used in amount of 0.25% to 5% in low alloy cast iron. This promotes
machinability of cast iron. In heat and corrosion cast irons as much as 35% nickel is used.
“NI-Resist” a typical heat and corrosion resistant cast iron has a composition of 14%
Nickel. “NI-Resist” can withstand a temperature of 800°C and is used in a wide variety of
media such as hydraulic, sulphuric, chlorides, caustic, sea water etc.
Advantages of mixing nickel to steel:
It increases strength of steel without decreasing ductility. If this steel is subjected to case
hardening, it produces better core than plain carbon steel. This steel has good corrosion
resistance property. A nickel steel alloy containing 36% nickel is called ~Invar™ which is
used for making measuring instruments and gauges. Invar has a negligible co-efficient of
expansion.
D4. Discuss the important non-metallic materials of construction used im
engineering practice, (WBSCTE 2017)
Answer:
The commonly used important non-metallic materials are wood, glass, rubber, leather,
carbon, plastics etc. which are used in various engineering construction.
i) Wood: It is a bad conductor of heat and electricity. It is lighter in weight but has
sufficient tensile strength. It has less resistance to corrosion. Wood is used in making
patterns used in foundry.

4) Carbon: It has very high compressive ‘trength and high shear strength compared to
Phere non-metallic materials. It has good resistanc®, corrosion. Carbon is used in
‘of carbon which is used in bronze used as a
‘Glectrical insulation. Graphite is a form
fesicant in bearing material. Diamond is used for drill bits which are used for oil
exploration, digging deep wells ete.
$i Plasties: Plastics are lighter in weight but have high strength. It can resist corrosion
Pratics are available in various colours and surface fi ish of plastic products is very
good. There are two types of plastics such as (a) Thermoplastic plastics,
resistance to wear. Leather is used in
(b) Thermosetting plastics.

Or,
What is the general procedure in machine design and explain it? [WBSCTE 2019]
Answer:
General Procedure in Machine Design:
In designing a machine component, there is no rig!
a eee mays. However, the general procedure to solve a design problen! is as follows:
1) Recognition of need. First of all, make a complete staterert of the problem,
jedicating the need, aim or purpose for which the machine is to be designed.
3) Synthesis (Mechanisms). Select the possible mechanism or group of mechanisms
which will give the desired motion.
3) Analysis of forces. Find the forces acting on
‘energy transmitied by each member.
4) Material selection: Select the material best suited for each member of the machine.
5) Design of elements (Size and stresses): Find the size of each member of the machine
by considering the force acting on the member and the permissible stresses for the
ooo used. It should be kept in mind that each member should not deflect or deform
than the permissible unit.
jd rule. The problem may be attempted
each member of the machine and the
POLY-DMEDME.17
Fig: General procedure in Machine Design
: Modify the size of the member to agree with the past experience and
judgment to facilitate of manufacture. The modification may also be necessary by
consideration of manufacturing to reduce overall cost.
7) Detailed drawing: Draw the detailed drawing of each component and the assembly of
the machine with complete specification for the manufacturing process suggested.
8) Production: The component, as per the drawing, is manufactured in the workshop. _
The flow chart for the general procedure in machine design is shown.
When there are number of components in the market having the same qualities of
efficiency, durability and cost, then the customer will naturally attract towards the most
appealing product. The aesthetic and ergonomic, are very important features which gives
grace and lusture to product and dominates the market.
>. 6. What do you mean by endurance limit? (Mode! Question]
Answer:
Endurance limit: It is defined as maximum value of the completely reversed bending
stress which a polished standard specimen can withstand without failure, foe infinite
number of cycles (usually 10” cycle). It may be noted that the term endurance limit is
used for reverse bending only while for other types of loading, the term endurance

nswer:
1. Reduce the effect of grain boundaries by:
(a) Use single crystal material with large grains.
(b) Addition of solid solution to eliminate vacancies.
2. Employ materials of high melting temperatures.
3. Consult creep test data during material selection considering:
(a) Type of service application .
(b) Set adequate inspection intervals according to life expectancy.
> 9. Discuss ‘Fatigue’ consideration in design of component. DModet Question}
‘Answer:
Fatigue is a phenomenon associated with variable loading or more precisely to cyclic
stressing or straining of a material. Just as we human beings get fatigue when a specific
task is repeatedly performed, in a similar manner metallic components subjected to
variable loading get fatigue, which leads to their premature failure under specific
conditions.
Fatigue loading is primarily the type of loading which causes cyclic variations in the
applied stress or strain on a component. Thus any variable loading is basically a fatigue
loading.
A fatigue failure begins with a small crack, the initial crack may be so minute and cannot
be detected. The crack usually develops at a point of localized stress concentration like
discontinuity in the material, such as a change in cross-section, a keyway or a hole. Once
a crack is initiated, the stress concentration effect become greater and the crack
propagates. Consequently the stressed area decreases in size, the stress increase in
‘magnitude and the crack propagates ore rapidly. Until finally, the remaining area is
tunable to sustain the load and the component fails suddenly. Thus fatigue loading results
in sudden, unwarned failure.

failure modes of screws are stripping shear failure atthe thread roots and fatigue failure
When the ordinary bolt is subjected to tensile force, there are iw distinct regions of
strength. As the diameter of threaded portion is less than the shank diameter, the threaded
portion is subjected to stress concentration. Therefore stress induced in threaded portion
porn than the stress induced in the shank portion making the threaded portion as the
vreakest part and the maximum amount of elastic energy is observed in this region. So
eal bolt will be one which is subjected to the same stress level at different clis™-

> 6. Why the cotter of a cotter joint is made tapered? Why clearance is kept in a
cotter joint and on which side? [WBSCTE 2011]
Answer:
The cotter of a cotter joint is made taper to facilitate its driving into position and its
withdrawal from the joint at the time of dismantling the joint. It also helps to adjust the
joint afterwards when required.
A clearance which varies between 1.5 mm to 3 mm is provided on the taper side of the
cotter.
When the cotter is driven in, the clearance facilitates the cotter to force the rod more
inside the spigot and make the joint perfectly tight. It should be noted that a similar
clearance his between plain side of the cotter and rod to the joined.
> 7. Where is the knuckle joint is used? What are the advantages of knuckle joint
over cotter joint? [WBSCTE 2011]
Answer: .
A knuckle joint is used to connect two rods or bars, subjected to tensile load. It may be
readily connected or disconnected for adjustment or repairs. The knuckle joints are very
common is machines and structure.
Advantages of Knuckle joint over cotter joint are as follows:
i) The rods whose axes are not in alignments but meet in a point can be joined.
ii) The joint allows a small angular movement of one rod relative to other.
iii) It is specially designed to withstand tensile loads.
iv) It can be easily connected and disconnected.
v) It is capable of transmitting rotary and transverse motions.

b) A lever isa simple machine that allows us to gain a mechanical advantage. It consists
of a rigid bar or beam that is allowed to rotate or Pivot about a fulcrum, along with an
applied force and load. The tree types or classes of levers are available depending on
where the fulerum and applied force is located,
The function for a lever is that we can use it for a mechanical advantage in liftng heavy
load by the application of small effor, moving things a greater distance or increasing the
speed ofan object.
Mechanical advantage is a measure ofthe force amplification achieved by using a tool,
mechanical device or mechanical system. Ideally, the device preserves the input power
and simply trades off forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification inthe
cutput force. The model for this is the law of the lever. Mechanical advantage is
calculated by dividing the output force by the input force.
Leverage isthe other way to define mechanical advantage or to multiply force. Usually
the term refers to the six classical simple machines: lever, wheel & axle. pulley, wedge,
inclined plane and screw.
