Mechanical Design for Making Machines

Introduction

A simple greeting and abstruct of this lecture are shown here.

Chapter 1, Abstruct of Mechanical Design 1.1 What is Mechanical Design? 1.2 Tips of Mechanical Design 1.3 Instances of Mechanical Design Exercises

We need 'Machines' in our life. In this chapter, we study about a location of the mechanical design in a mechanical engineering field and notions of the mechanical design. Lecture Slides, HTML Lecture Slides, MS-PowerPoin, 823kB (in Japanese)

Chapter 2, Strength and Materials 2.1 Basis of Strength 2.2 Mechanical Materials Exercises

It is important that machins are not broken, and they always work suitably. In this chapter, we study about static strength, motion of machins and typical mechanical materials. Lecture Slides, HTML Lecture Slides, MS-PowerPoint, 765kB

Chapter 3, Machining and Design 3.1 Kind of Machinings 3.2 Accuracy and Design 3.3 Design with Considerations of Machinings Exercises

In the case of the mechanical design, it is important to have knowledges of machinings. Also, accuracies of sizes are decided in the design stage. We should not demand too higher accuracies, because higher accuracies brings great labors of the machinings. Lecture Slides, HTML Lecture Slides, MS-PowerPoint, 984kB

Chapter 4, Design Technics Using Screws 4.1 Kind of Screws 4.2 Meter Screws 4.3 Strength of Screws 4.4 Practical Design Exercises

Screws are used in various applications, such as fittings of mechanical parts, motions and determinations of parts' locations. In this chapter, we study the standard of the screws and tips for using the screws. Lecture Slides, HTML Lecture Slides, MS-PowerPoint, 1061kB

Chapter 5, Design of Shaft and Bearing 5.1 Design of Shafts 5.2 Couplings 5.3 Fittings of Shafts and Rotating Parts 5.4 Utilizations of Bearings 5.5 Instances of Shaft System Exercises

Many machins uses rotating motions. In this chapter, components like shafts and bearings are shown. And we consider to design points of rotating mochins with several instances. Lecture Slides, HTML Lecture Slides, MS-PowerPoint, 820kB

Chapter 6, Design of Gear Mechanism 6.1 Kind of Gears 6.2 Structure of Super and Pinion Gears 6.3 Strength of Gears 6.4 Instances of Gear Mechanisms Exercises

Many machins use gears as a method of power transmission. Because the gears has the great characteristics, such as high transmission efficiency and accurate motions. In this chapter, we consider the points of gear mechanism with several instances. Lecture Slides, HTML Lecture Slides, MS-PowerPoint, 1104kB

Chapter 7, Design Technics of Seal Devices 7.1 Abstruct of Seal Devices 7.2 Gaskets 7.3 O-rings 7.4 Oil seals 7.5 Instances of Seal System Exercises

In the case of the machines that handle fluid or lubricating oil, seal devices are very important. In this chapter, we learn the structure and how to use the typical seal devices. Lecture Slides, HTML Lecture Slides, MS-PowerPoint, 821kB

Chapter 8, Marketing Parts 8.1 Electric Motors 8.2 Mechanical Electronics 8.3 Rotatin Motions 8.4 Linear Motions 8.5 Springs 8.6 Combined Marketing Parts Exercises

We learned the mechanical components such as screws, gears and bearings in above chapters. We should use the marketing components positively. It brings a prompt mechanical design or development. Lecture Slides, HTML Lecture Slides, MS-PowerPoint, 1311kB

Chapter 9, System Design 9.1 What is System Design? 9.2 Design of a Compact Stirling Engine 9.3 Design of Man-Powered Hydrofoil 9.4 Design of a Fish Robot for Turning Test 9.5 Design of a High Speed Fish Robot 9.6 Conceptual Design of Sailing Ship Exercises

It is important to consider 'balance' in the mechanical design. We learned how to select the components in above chapters. Here, we consider systematic constructions of machines with some instances. Lecture Slides, HTML Lecture Slides, MS-PowerPoint, 1587kB

Chapter 10, Aim to Advanced Design 10.1 Higher Performance of Machines 10.2 Sweet Mechanical Design 10.3 Aim to Make Machines Exercises (Questionnaire)

For the mechanical design, the contents of this lecture is noto so enough. If we design a machine with obeying by a text book or a reference, we cannnot complete the final machine. The mechanical design and a mecahnical deesigner shoud always evolve. Lecture Slides, HTML Lecture Slides, MS-PowerPoint, 483kB
