Unit 01 Fundamentals of Machine Design (Question Bank)
T1] Describe various steps involved in the design of a machine element (Give
general design procedure for a machine component). Discuss what working
drawing is.
T2] Distinguish between static and dynamic load giving suitable examples.
T3] What is factor of safety? Why it is used in machine design (why it is
considered while designing the machine element?)? How is it selected?
T4] Discuss the guidelines for the selection of quantitative values of ‘factor of
safety’.
T5] How will you classify engineering material? For each category of
classification, give at least two materials, falling in that category.
T6] How material is selected while designing a machine element?
T7] Summarize material selection procedure adopted for designing a machine
element.
T8] Explain in brief factors govern the selection of material for mechanical
component.
T9] Explain the various factors influencing the selection of material for a
particular application.
