UNIT I

STEADY STRESSES AND VARIABLE STRESSES IN MACHINE MEMBERS 9
Introduction to the design process – factors influencing machine design, selection of materials
based on mechanical properties – Preferred numbers, fits and tolerances ā€“ Direct, Bending and
torsional stress equations ā€“ Impact and shock loading ā€“ calculation of principle stresses for various
load combinations, eccentric loading ā€“ curved beams ā€“ crane hook and ā€˜Cā€™ frame- Factor of
safety – theories of failure ā€“ Design based on strength and stiffness ā€“ stress concentration ā€“
Design for variable loading.
