Exam Hours:03 Exam Marks:100
MODULE 1
Effect of Materials And Manufacturing Process On Design: Major phases of design. Effect of material properties on
design Effect of manufacturing processes on design. Material selection process- cost per unit property, Weighted
properties and limits on properties methods.
Tolerence Analysis: Process capability, mean, varience, skewness, kurtosis, Process capability metrics, Cp, Cpk,
Cost aspects, Feature tolerances, Geometries tolerances, Geometric tolerances, Surface finish, Review of
relationship between attainable tolerance grades and different machining process. Cumulative effect of tolerance-
Sure fit law and truncated normal law.
MODULE 2
Selective Assembly: Interchangeable part manufacture and selective assembly, Deciding the number of groups -
Model-1 : Group tolerance of mating parts equal, Model total and group tolerances of shaft equal. Control of axial
play-Introducing secondary machining operations, Laminated shims, examples
Datum Features : Functional datum, Datum for manufacturing, Changing the datum. Examples
MODULE 3
Design Considerations: Design of components with casting consideration. Pattern, Mould, and Parting line. Cored
holes and Machined holes. Identifying the possible and probable parting line. Casting requiring special sand cores.
Designing to obviates and cores.
Component Design: Component design with machining considerations link design for turning components-milling,
Drilling and other related processes including finish- machining operations.
MODULE 4
True positional theory : Comparison between co-ordinate and convention method offeature location. Tolerance and
true position tolerancing virtual size concept, Floating and fixed fasteners. Projected tolerance zone. Assembly with
gasket, zero position tolerance. Functional gauges, Paper layout gauging.
MODULE 5
Design of Gauges: Design of gauges for checking components in assemble with emphasis on various types of limit
gauges for both hole and shaft.
