Machine Design

 Machine Design is the creation of new and better machines and

improving the existing ones.

 A new or better machine is one which is more economical in the

overall cost of production and operation.
 Classification of Machine Design

• Adoptive Design

• Development Design

• New Design
 The designs, depending upon the methods

• Rational design

• Empirical design

• Industrial design

• Optimum design

• System design

• Element design

• Computer aided design

 General Considerations in Machine
Design
• Type of load and stresses caused by the load.

• Motion of the parts or kinematics of the machine.

• Selection of materials.

• Form and size of the parts.

• Frictional resistance and lubrication.

• Convenient and economical features.

 Cont…
• Use of standard parts.

• Safety of operation.

• Workshop facilities.

• Number of machines to be manufactured.

• Cost of construction.

• Assembling.
