• The reason why they enjoy being creative is that they are sensitive to
the needs of life and understand the extent of the issues in society and
environment.

Types of Machine Design
1) Adaptive Design:- The designer’s work is concerned with adaptation
of existing design. The designer only makes minor alternation or
modification in the existing designs of the product.
Types of design
based on
method
Rational Industrial
Design Empirical Design
Design
Types of Design based on method
1. Rational Design:-
Based on determining the stresses and strains of components and
thereby deciding their dimensions. This type of design depends upon
mathematical formulae of principal of mechanics.
2. Empirical Design:-
This type of design depends upon empirical formulae based on the
practice and past experience .
Types of Design based on method
3. Industrial Design:-
• This type of design depends upon the production aspects to
manufacture any machine component in the industry.
• Based on industrial considerations and norms viz. market survey,
external look, production facilities, low cost, use of existing
standard products
Factors to be considered in
Machine Design
1. What device or mechanism to be used???
2. To decide the relative arrangement of the constituent elements.
• Material
• Forces on the elements
• Size
• Shape and space requirements
• Weight of the product
Factors to be considered in
Machine Design
3. The method of manufacturing the components and their assembly.
4. How will it operate.
5. Reliability and safety aspects.
6. Inspectiabilty
7. Maintenance
8. Cost and aesthetics of the designed product.

Standardization
• Standardization is defined as obligatory (or compulsory) norms,
to which various characteristics of a product should comply (or
agree) with standard.
• The characteristics include materials, dimensions and shape of
the component, method of testing and method of marking,
packing and storing of the product.
• A standard is defined as a set of specifications for parts,
materials or processes. The objective of, a standard is to reduce
the variety and limit the number of items to a reasonable level.
Standardization
• On the other hand, a code is defined as a set of specifications
for the analysis, design, manufacture, testing and erection of the
product. The purpose of a code is to achieve a specified level
of safety.
• There are three types of standards used in design :-
➢ Company Standards: They are used in a particular company or
a group of sister concerns.
Standardization
➢ National standards:
– India - BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards),
– Germany - DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung),
– USA - AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute) or SAE (Society of Automotive
Engineers),
– UK - BS (British Standards)
The machine elements include bolts, screws and nuts, rivets, belts and chains, ball
and roller bearings, wire ropes, keys and splines, etc
For example, IS 2494 (Part 1) specifies dimensions and shape of the cross- section of
endless V-belts for power transmission.
The dimensions of the trapezoidal cross-section of the belt, viz. width, height and
included angle are specified in this standard
Standards are used in mechanical
engineering design
Standards for Fits, Tolerances and Surface Finish of Component:
For example, selection of the type of fit for different applications is illustrated in IS
2709 on 'Guide for selection of fits'.
The tolerances or upper and lower limits for various sizes of holes and shafts are
specified in IS 919 on 'Recommendations for limits and fits for engineering'.
IS 10719 explains method for indicating surface texture on technical drawings.
Standards for Tes ting of Products:
These standards, sometimes called 'codes', give procedures to test the products
such as pressure vessel, boiler, crane and wire rope, where safety of the
operator is an important consideration.
For example, IS 807 is a code of practice for design, manufacture, erection and
testing of cranes and hoists.
Benefits of Standardization
• Reductions in types and dimensions of identical components (inventory
control).
• Reduction in manufacturing facilities.
• Easy to replace (Interchangeability).
• No need to design or test the elements.
• Improves quality and reliability.
• Improves reputation of the company which manufactures standard
components.
• Sometimes it ensures the safety.
• It results in overall cost reduction.
Preferred Numbers
• With the acceptance of standardization, there is a need to keep the standard sizes or
dimensions of any component or product in discrete steps.
• The sizes should be spread over the wide range, at the same time these should be
spaced properly.
• For example, if shaft diameters are to be standardized between 10 mm and 25 mm,
then sizes should be like : 10 mm, 12.5 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm and not like : 10
mm, 11 mm, 13 mm, 18 mm, 25 mm.
• This led to the use of geometric series known as series of preferred numbers or
preferred series.
.
• Preferred series are series of numbers obtained by geometric progression and
rounded off
Preferred Numbers
• There are five basic series with step ratios of:
5
10 , 10
10 , 20
10 , 40
10 & 80
10
• These ratios are approximately equal to 1.58, 1.26, 1.12, 1.06 and 1.03.
For example, the aerodynamic shape of the car will have a lesser air
resistance, resulting in the lesser fuel consumption.
For example, the aerodynamic shape of the car indicates the speed.
For example, the robust and heavy appearance of the hydraulic press reflects its
strength and rigidity
Aesthetic Considerations
• The appearance should not be at too much of extra cost unless it is a prime
requirement.
• The job of an industrial designer is to create new shapes and forms for the
product which are aesthetically appealing
– Form (Shape)
There are five basic forms of the products, namely, step, taper, shear, streamline and sculpture
Aesthetic Considerations
Step form:
Taper form
Shear form
Streamline form
The streamline form has a streamlined shape having a smooth flow as seen in automobile and
aeroplane structures
Sculpture form
Aesthetic Considerations
• Colour
Colour is one of the major contributors to the aesthetic appeal of the product.
Many colours are linked with different moods and conditions.
The selection of the colour should be compatible with the conventions.
Morgan has suggested the colour code given in the following Table.
Colour Meaning
Red Danger, Hazard, Hot
Orange Possible Danger
Yellow Caution
Green Safety
Blue Caution-Cold
Grey Dull
Aesthetic Considerations
• Material and Surface Finish
The material and surface finish of the product contribute significantly to
the appearance.
The material like, stainless steel gives better appearance than the cast irons,
plain carbon steels or low alloy steels.
The products with better surface finish are always aesthetically pleasing.
• The word ergonomic is formed from two Greek word: ergo means work and
nomic mean natural laws.
• The final objective of the ergonomics is to make the machine fit for user rather
than to make the user adapt himself or herself to the machine.
• Working Environment.
• Lighting
• Noise
• Temperature
