a) Explain importance of shape and size in aesthetic design.

Ans The aesthetic characteristics is a very important for all design elements.

The aesthetics is the property to have good performance along with the better appearance for the
satisfaction of the customer. In the buyer’s market, have a number of products with same identical
parameters, but the appearance of the of the product plays a major role in attracting the customers.

The aesthetic has a produce with the extent which contributes varies from product to product.

This is important for the designer to have develop the shape of a product so that customer get
attracted towards it and the appearance should be pleasing.

For example the cars are designed in the form of aerodynamic shape, this aesthetic forms helps in 6 marks
the performance by getting less resistance of air as well as the appearance which extent in
contribution.

The shape is also the important aesthetic criteria that the products develops and designed should not
be bulky in size which will affect the performance as well as the appearance of the product. The
designer thus have the choice to minimize the shape and can form smaller size product designs
rather than bulky designs.

Thus, aesthetics helps to get the better appearance and performance which extent its contributions
from product to product.

Sol.

Diagram
&lable:

1 & 1/2

Construction of leaf spring :

Semi-elliptical leaf springs are widely used for suspension in light and heavy commercial
vehicle. In car these are used for rear suspension.
• The leaf springs are made of flat semi-elliptical plate.
• The advantage of leaf spring over helical spring is that the ends of the spring may be
guided along the definite path as it deflects to acts as a structural member in addition to
energy absorbing device. Explanation
• Thus, leaf spring carry lateral load, brake torque, driving thrust and shocks. :
• It consists of number of semi-elliptical plates called blade or leaves. 2 & 1/2
• The leaves are given initially curvature or camber so that they tend to straighten
under the load.
• The blades vary in length and are held together by a bolt passing through the center
acting as a beam of uniform strength.
• The spring is clamped to the axle housing by means of ‘U’ bolts.
• The longest leave is known as master leaves, has its end formed in the shape of an
eye through which the bolts are passed to secure the spring to its supports.
• The eyes are attached to shackle provided with bushing of anti-friction material such
as bronze or rubber. The other leaves are graduated leaves.
• To prevent digging in the adjacent leaves, the ends of graduated leaves are trimmed in
various forms.
• The master leaf has to withstand vertical bending load, side thrust and twisting
moment due to presence of stresses caused by these loads so it is usual to provide two
full length leaves and rest graduated leaves.
• Rebound clips are located at intermediate position in the length of the spring so that
graduated leaves also shear the stresses induced in the full-length leaves when the
spring rebound.
• Highly cambered spring provides a 50% suspension but they also increase tendency to
jaw (movement about vertical axis). Flat spring reduces tendency of the vehicle to dip
(pitching), when brake or accelerate suddenly.
• Generally rear spring are kept longer than the front spring. This causes them to vibrate
at different frequencies, which prevent excessive bounce.

b) Explain with neat sketch different types of radial Ball bearings.

Following are the various types of radial ball bearings:


Sol.

1. Single row deep groove bearing. : During assembly of this bearing, the races are
offset and the maximum numbers of balls are placed between the races. The races are 1 Mark for
then centered and the balls are symmetrically located by the use of a retainer or each type
[Link] deep groove ball bearings are used due to their high load carrying capacity
and suitability for high running speeds. The load carrying capacity of a ball bearing is (Sketch &
related to the size and number of the balls. explanation)
2. Filling notch bearing. : These bearings have notches in the inner and outer races
which permit more balls to be inserted than in deep groove ball bearings. The notches
do not extend to the bottom of the race way and therefore the balls inserted through
the notches must be forced in position.

3. Angular contact bearing. These bearings have one side of the outer race cut away to
permit the insertion of more balls than in a deep groove bearing but without having a
notch cut into both races. This permits the bearing to carry a relatively large axial load
in one direction while also carrying a relatively large radial load. The angular contact
bearings are usually used in pairs so that thrust loads may be carried in either direction.

4. Double row bearing: These bearings may be made with radial or angular contact
between the balls and races. The double row bearing is appreciably narrower than two
single row bearings. The load capacity of such bearings is slightly less than twice that of
a single row bearing

5. Self-aligning bearing: These bearings permit shaft deflections within 2-3 degrees. It
may be noted that normal clearance in a ball bearing are too small to accommodate
any appreciable misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing. If the unit is
assembled with shaft misalignment present, then the bearing will be subjected to a
load that may be in excess of the design value and premature failure may occur.
Following are the two types of self-aligning bearings: (a) Externally self-aligning bearing,
and (b) Internally self-aligning bearing.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________
The spring index indicates the relative sharpness of the curvature of the coil.

A low spring index means high sharpness of curvature.

• If C is low (C < 3), the actual stresses are excessive due to curvature effect and special care in
coiling is required to avoid cracking in some wires during manufacturing.

• If C is high (C > 15), it results in large variation in the coil diameter. Such a spring is prone to
buckling and also tangles easily during handling.

• C from 4 to 12 is considered best from manufacturing considerations.

• A spring index in the range of 6 to 9 is still preferred particularly for close tolerance springs

and those subjected to cyclic loading.

In this way Wahl’s factor K is significant in design of spring.

Q. Sub Answer XXXXXMarking


No. Q. N. Scheme

2 Attempt any THREE of the following: (3x4=12) 12 Marks

a) Explain in brief the general design procedure. Brief


explanati
Ans: Step 1: Markey Survey on of
each
Market survey is to be done in order study existing similar products and their features and step
utility before starting the design of a competitive product or innovative product.

Step 2: Product Specifications


4 Marks
The first step consists of preparing a complete list of the requirements of the product. The
requirements include the output capacity of the machine, and its service life, cost and
reliability. In some cases, the overall dimensions and weight of the product are specified. For
example, while designing a scooter, the list of specifications will be as follows: (i) Fuel
consumption = 60 km/l (ii) Maximum speed = 100 km/hr (iii) Carrying capacity = two
persons with 10 kg luggage (iv) Overall dimensions Width = 700 mm, Length = 1750 mm,
Height = 1000 mm (v) Weight = 95 kg (vi) Cost = Rs. 50000 to Rs. 55000

In consumer products, external appearance, noiseless performance and simplicity in operation


of controls are important requirements. Depending upon the type of product, various
requirements are given weightages and a priority list of specifications is prepared.

Step 3: Selection of Mechanism

After careful study of the requirements, the designer prepares rough sketches of different
possible mechanisms for the product. The alternative mechanisms are compared with each
other and also with the mechanism of the products that are available in the market. An
approximate estimation of the cost of each alternative configuration is made and compared
with the cost of existing products. This will reveal the competitiveness of the product.
Depending upon the cost-competitiveness, availability of raw materials and manufacturing
facility, the best possible mechanism is selected for the product.

Step 4: Layout of Configuration

The next step in a design procedure is to prepare a block diagram showing the general layout
Page No: ____/ N
MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION
(Autonomous)
(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2013 Certified)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
of the selected configuration. For example, the layout of an Electrically-operated Overhead
Travelling (EOT) crane will consist of the following components: (i) electric motor for power
supply; (ii) flexible coupling to connect the motor shaft to the clutch shaft; (iii) clutch to
connect or disconnect the electric motor at the will of the operator; (iv) gear box to reduce the
speed from 1440 rpm to about 15 rpm; (v) rope drum to convert the rotary motion of the shaft
to the linear motion of the wire rope; (vi) wire rope and pulley with the crane hook to attach
the load; and (vii) brake to stop the motion. In this step, the designer specifies the joining
methods, such as riveting, bolting or welding to connect the individual components. Rough
sketches of shapes of the individual parts are prepared.

Step 5: Design of Individual Components

The design of individual components or machine elements is an important step in a design


process. It consists of the following stages: (i) Determine the forces acting on the component.
(ii) Select proper material for the component depending upon the functional requirements
such as strength, rigidity, hardness and wear resistance. (iii) Determine the likely mode of
failure for the component and depending upon it, select the criterion of failure, such as yield
strength, ultimate tensile strength, endurance limit or permissible deflection. (iv) Determine
the geometric dimensions of the component using a suitable factor of safety and modify the
dimensions from assembly and manufacturing considerations. This stage involves detailed
stress and deflection analysis. The subjects ‘Machine Design’ or ‘Elements of Machine
Design’ cover mainly the design of machine elements or individual components of the
machine.

Step 6: Preparation of Drawings

The last stage in a design process is to prepare drawings of the assembly and the individual
components. On these drawings, the material of the component, its dimensions, tolerances,
surface finish grades and machining symbols are specified. The designer prepares two
separate lists of components—standard components to be purchased directly from the market
and special components to be machined in the factory. In many cases, a prototype model is
prepared for the product and thoroughly tested before finalising the assembly drawings. It is
seen that the process of machine design involves systematic approach from known
specifications to unknown solutions. Quite often, problems arise on the shop floor during the
production stage and design may require modifications. In such circumstances, the designer
has to consult the manufacturing engineer and find out the suitable modification.

3 b) Explain the term Self locking & Overhauling of screw

i) Self locking of a screw : Torque required to lower the load, T= W tan(φ - α) x d/2

Where W – Load to be lifted, φ is the friction angle and α is the helix angle 2M
• When φ > α, positive torque is required to lower the load.

• Under this condition, the load will not turn the screw and will not descend on its own

unless an effort P is applied. In this case, the screw is said to be ‘self-locking’.

• A self-locking screw will hold the load in place without a brake.

• Can be achieved by optimum lubrication and less lead of screw thread.

Condition for self locking is  < 50%

• Application: Screw-jack

ii) Overhauling of a power screw

• Using the same equation of torque required to lower the load, it can be seen that when;
2M
if φ< α the torque required to lower the load is negative.

• It indicates a condition that no force is required to lower the load.

• The load itself will begin to turn the screw and descend down, unless a restraining

torque is applied. This condition is called overhauling of the screw.

• Caused due to excessive lubrication (Minimum friction) or high lead of power screw thread.

Condition for Overhauling is  > 50%

Fig :
Semi-elliptical leaf springs are widely used for suspension in light and heavy commercial vehicle. 1&½
In car these are used for rear suspension.

•The leaf springs are made of flat semi-elliptical plate.

• It consists of number of semi-elliptical plates called blade or leaves.

• The leaves are given initially curvature or camber so that they tend to straighten under the load.

• The blades vary in length and are held together by a bolt passing through the center acting as a
beam of uniform strength.

• The spring is clamped to the axle housing by means of ‘U’ bolts.

• The longest leaf is known as master leaf, has its end formed in the shape of an eye through
which the bolts are passed to secure the spring to its supports.

• The eyes are attached to shackle provided with bushing of anti-friction material such as bronze
or rubber. The other leaves are graduated leaves.

• To prevent digging in the adjacent leaves, the ends of graduated leaves are trimmed in various
Explain
forms.

• The master leaf has to withstand vertical bending load, side thrust and twisting moment due to 1&½
presence of stresses caused by these loads so it is usual to provide two full length leaves and rest
graduated leaves.

• Rebound clips are located at intermediate position in the length of the spring so that graduated
leaves also shear the stresses induced in the full-length leaves when the spring rebound.

• Highly cambered spring provides a 50% suspension but they also increase tendency to jaw

brake or accelerate suddenly. 1M

Whenever a machine component changes the shape of its Explain:
cross-section, the simple stress distribution no longer holds
good and the neighbourhood of the discontinuity is 1M
different. This irregularity in the stress distribution
caused by abrupt changes of form is called stress
concentration.
It occurs for all kinds of stresses in the presence of fillets,
notches, holes, keyways, splines, surface roughness or
scratches etc.
Causes
Causes of stress concentration:
1M
i) Abrupt changes in cross-section like in keyway, steps, grooves, threaded holes results in stress
concentration.

ii) Poor surface finish – The surface irregularities is also one of the reason for stress concentration.

iii) Localized loading – Due to heavy load on small area the stress concentration occurs in the vicinity
of loaded area.
Remedie
iv)Variation in material properties – Particularly defects like internal flaws, voids, cracks, air holes,
cavities also results in stress concentration. s with
example
Remedies to Avoid stress concentration:
2M
The presence of stresses concentration cannot be totally eliminated but it can be reduced, so
following are the remedial measures to control the effects of stress concentration.

1. Provide additional notches and holes in tension members as shown in fig (a)

a)Use of multiple notches. b)Drilling additional holes as shown in fig(b)

2. Fillet radius, undercutting and notch for member in bending.

Ergonomic considerations in the designing of machine element. ( Any Four )

A)Ergonomics consideration in control design:

i) The control should be accessible and logically positioned.

ii) The shape of control component which come in contact with hands should be comfortable with
anatomy of hand.

iii) Control should be painted in red color with grey background of machine tool for attention.

iv) The control operation should involve Minimum motions.

B) Ergonomics consideration in Display design:

i) The scale on the dial indicator should be divided in suitable linear progression such as 0-10-20-30.
ii) Number of subdivisions between divisions should be minimum.

iii) Vertical figures should be used for stationary dials and radially oriented figures should be used for
rotating dials. 4M

iv) The height of letters or numbers on display should be greater or equal to reading distance /200.

v) The pointer should have knife edge with a mirror to minimize parallax error. (1 m

vi) The numbering should increase in clockwise direction on circular scale, rightward on a horizontal any 4
scale and upwards on vertical scale. consider
C) Lighting: The surrounding area including walls, ceiling, floor and other object should be bright and ation )
more colored than workplace. The light should be match the needs of the task as far as illumination
is concerned.

D) Noise: vibration isolating material, plug in ears and providing sound insulating walls.

E) Temperature: i)In order to get efficiency to perform the task, the operator should feel neither too
hot nor too cold but comfortable. Ii) When the heavy work is done, the temperature should be
lowered and when the office work is done, it should be little higher.

F) Humidity and Air circulation:

i) Low humidity may cause discomfort through drying of the nose and throat.

ii) Air humidity and air velocity become important at high temp. because they influence the amount
of sweat, which can be evaporated from body surface to produce cooling effect .

The single eye or rod end may fail in crushing due to the load. We know that load (P),

150 × 103 = d1 × t × Ϭc = 52 × 65 × Ϭc = 3380 Ϭc

150 × 103 = d1 × 2 t1 × Ϭc = 52 × 2 × 40 × Ϭc = 4160 Ϭc

∴ Ϭc = 150 × 103 / 4180 = 36 N/mm2 , Ϭc = 36 MPa

(Ϭc allowable > Ϭc induced ) Design is safe

From above, we see that the induced stresses are less than the given design stresses, therefore the

A low spring index means high sharpness of curvature.

• If C is low (C < 3), the actual stresses are excessive due to curvature effect and special
care in coiling is required to avoid cracking in some wires during manufacturing.

• If C is high (C > 15), it results in large variation in the coil diameter. Such a spring is prone
to buckling and also tangles easily during handling.

• C from 4 to 12 is considered best from manufacturing considerations.

(i) Effect of keyway in strength of shaft
(ii) Prove that Square key is equally strong in shearing and crushing’.

Ans i) Effect of keyway in strength of shaft


:
The keyway cut into the shaft reduces the load carrying capacity of the shaft. This is due to the
stress concentration near the corners of the keyway and reduction in the cross-sectional area
of the shaft. In other words, the torsional strength of the shaft is reduced. The following 1 mark

m
relation for the weakening effect of the keyway is based on the experimental results by H.F.
Moore
e = 1- 0.2(w/d) -1.1 (h/d)

e = Shaft strength factor. It is the ratio of the strength of the shaft with keyway to the strength

.c
of the same shaft without keyway, 1 mark
w = Width of keyway, d = Diameter of shaft, and

ar
h = Depth of keyway = Thickness of key (t)/2
It is usually assumed that the strength of the keyed shaft is 75% of the solid shaft, which is
somewhat higher than the value obtained by the above relation.

le
In case the keyway is too long and the key is of sliding type, then the angle of twist is
increased in the ratio kθ as given by the following relation:
kθ = 1 +0.4 (w/d)+0.7 (h/d) 1 mark

Let T = Torque transmitted by the shaft,
F = Tangential force acting at the circumference of the shaft,
w

d = Diameter of shaft,
l = Length of key,
w

w = Width of key.
t = Thickness of key
w

τ and σc = Shear and crushing stresses for the material of key.


In above arrangement, due to the power transmitted by the shaft, the key may fail due to
shearing or crushing.
Considering shearing of the key, the tangential shearing force acting at the circumference of the shaft,
F = Area resisting shearing × Shear stress = l × w × τ
1 mark
∴ Torque transmitted by the shaft,

T = F X d/2 = l w τ X d/2 ...(i)


Considering crushing of the key, the tangential crushing force acting at the circumference of the shaft,
F = Area resisting crushing × Crushing stress = I .t/2. σ c
∴ Torque transmitted by the shaft, T = F.d/2 = l.t/2. σ c.d/2…..(ii)

The permissible crushing stress for the usual key material is at least twice the permissible
shearing stress. Therefore from equation (iii), we have w = t.
In other words, we can say that a square key is equally strong in shearing and crushing.
