Introduction

Why do we have to know about mechanical

engineering design?

 For mechanical engineer, it is important to understand about

the process of mechanical engineering design because
knowing the design process leads to successful product.

 Successful product keeps reinventing itself by Design Process.

Design

 Design can be either to formulate a plan for the satisfaction of a

specified need or to solve a specific problem.

 Design is an innovative and highly iterative process.

 For example, design a product, it should be functional, safe,

reliable, competitive, usable, manufacturable, and marketable.

 Engineering tools : mathematics, statistics, computers, graphics,

problem-solving skill and languages.

Mechanical Engineering Design
 Mechanical engineers are associated with the production and
processing of energy, the tools of transportation, and the
techniques of automation with the balance of energy
consuming and the product.

 Mechanical engineering design involves all the disciplines of

mechanical engineering​​(Knowledge and skill).

 Real problems resist compartmentalization that need different

background of specialists or experts and knowledge.

 For example, building environment controlled, internal-

combustion engine design, jet-engine design, machine design,
structure design, …

Phase and Interaction of Design Process

Interaction of Design Process

Saturday, March 06, 20 #MaterialsLab 6

Phase and Interaction of Design Process
1. Identification of need: recognize of need that comes from the
feeling of uneasiness, what make us feel uncomfortable.
2. Definition of problem: more specific and must include all the
specifications for the object to be designed, specification defines
characteristics of product.
3. Synthesis: invention of the concept or concept design. Various
schemes must be proposed and investigated. It leads to
competitive product. (generate and brainstorm ideas or models)
4. Analysis and optimization: apply theory to calculate the
parameters of the schemes proposed. (select one or two to go with)
5. Evaluation: final proof of a successful design and usually
involves the testing of a prototype in the laboratory. (prototype
testing)
6. Presentation: selling job, presenting a new solution aims to sell or
to prove that their solution is a better one.

Phase and Interaction of Design Process

Evaluation the Design:

 Is it reliable?
 Will it compete successfully with similar products?
 Is it economical to manufacture and to use?
 Is it easily maintained and adjusted?
 Can a profit be made from its sale or use?
 How likely is it to result in product-liability lawsuits?
 Is insurance easily and cheaply obtained?
 Is it likely that recalls will be needed to replace defective
parts or systems?
