Mechanical Design Basics for
Non-Mechanical Engineers
Introduction:
Mechanical engineering in simple terms deals with any
equipment that moves; this is what makes it perhaps the most broad and diverse
of engineering disciplines. The mechanical discipline essentially derives its
breadth from the need to design and manufacture everything from small, even Nano,
individual devices, such as measuring instruments, to large systems such as
machine tools and power plants. Easy installation and serviceability are
critical to the success of a mechanical system as is operational and design
flexibility. Understanding parameters governing the selection and design of
mechanical systems is essential for identifying suitable systems for a
particular application. In order to place all these issues in context, a good
working knowledge of mechanical principles combined with a solid understanding
of key concepts such as force, energy and heat is important.
Mechanical power transmission is discussed from the point
of view of gears, couplings and bearings. Proper selection and sizing of these
critical mechanical components is vital to ensuring optimum performance and
improved efficiency of a mechanical system. Recently, fluid engineering has
undergone significant change and therefore a detailed overview of the
underlying principles of fluid power and its applications is vital. The theory
behind heat transfer, the various heat transfer mechanisms and the design of
heat-exchangers is also examined.
Any study of mechanical systems would be incomplete
without including a review of mechanical vibrations. This will help you in
monitoring, controlling and analyzing vibrations and in conducting fault
diagnoses in mechanical systems. The field of maintenance has evolved into a
separate and highly specialized function. An effective maintenance regime helps
identify failure symptoms and enables initiation of corrective measures, for
preventing unscheduled and sometimes catastrophic failures. Lastly, a
discussion on the numerous standards, codes and regulations governing
mechanical systems, helps put the whole course into perspective.
