ME 561P Machine Design I
The measurement of physical quantities is one of the most important operations in engineering.
Every quantity is measured in terms of some arbitrary, but internationally accepted units, called fundamental units.
Some units are expressed in terms of other units, which are derived from fundamental units, are known as derived units e.g. the unit of area, velocity, acceleration, pressure, etc.
Review of Fundamental and Derived Units
It is an important factor in the field of Engineering science, which may be defined as an agent, which produces or tends to produce, destroy or tends to destroy motion.
According to Newton’s Second Law of Motion, the applied force or impressed force is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum.

It has been established since long that a rigid body is composed of small particles.
If the mass of every particle of a body is multiplied by the square of its perpendicular distance from a fixed line, then the sum of these quantities (for the whole body) is known as mass moment of inertia of the body. It is denoted by I.
Consider a body of total mass m. Let it be composed of small particles of masses m 1, m 2, m 3, m 4, etc. If k 1, k 2, k 3, k 4, etc., are the distances from a fixed line, as shown, then the mass moment of inertia of the whole body is given by

If the total mass of a body may be assumed to concentrate at one point (known as centre of mass or centre of gravity), at a distance k from the given axis, such that
The distance k is called the radius of gyration.
It may be defined as the distance, from a given reference, where the whole mass of body is assumed to be concentrated to give the same value of I.
The unit of mass moment of inertia in SI system is kg-m^2.

It may be defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance of its line of action from the given point or axis.
A little consideration will show that the torque is equivalent to a couple acting upon a body.
The Newton’s second law of motion when
applied to rotating bodies states, the
torque is directly proportional to the rate
of change of angular momentum.
Mathematically,
Torque
Whenever a force acts on a body and the body undergoes a displacement in the direction of the force, then work is said to be done. For example, if a force F acting on a body causes a displacement x of the body in the direction of the force, then
If the force varies linearly from zero to a maximum value of F, then
When a couple or torque ( T ) acting on a body causes the angular displacement (θ) about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the couple, then
Work
It may be defined as the capacity to do work.
The energy exists in many forms e.g. mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc.; but we are mainly concerned with mechanical energy.
The mechanical energy is equal to the work done on a body in altering either its position or its velocity.
The following three types of mechanical energies are important from the subject point of view :
1. Potential energy. It is the energy possessed by a body, for doing work, by virtue of its position.
Energy
2. Strain energy. It is the potential energy stored by an elastic body when deformed.
A compressed spring possesses this type of energy, because it can do some work in recovering its original shape.
Thus, if a compressed spring of stiffness ( s ) N per unit deformation ( i.e. extension or compression) is deformed through a distance x by a weight W, then
In case of a torsional spring of
stiffness ( q ) N-m per unit angular
deformation when twisted
through an angle θ radians, then

Notes : 1. When a body of mass moment of inertia I (about a given axis) is rotated about that axis, with an angular velocity ω, then it possesses some kinetic energy. In this case,
2. When a body has both linear and angular motions, e.g. wheels of a moving car, then the total kinetic energy of the body is equal to the sum of linear and angular kinetic energies. 3. The energy can neither be created nor destroyed, though it can be transformed from one form into any of the forms, in which energy can exist. This statement is known as ‘ Law of Conservation of Energy ’. 4. The loss of energy in any one form is always accompanied by an equivalent increase in another form.
When work is done on a rigid body, the work is converted into kinetic or potential energy or is used in overcoming friction.
If the body is elastic, some of the work will also be stored as strain energy.
