What is design?
Design is about progress. It is the conceptualization and creation of new things:
ideas, interactions, information, objects, typefaces, books, posters, products,
places, signs, systems, services, furniture, websites, and more.
“Any man made thing is a design”

Living and Non-Living Things
There are living and non-living things all around us. Go outside and
explore. You can find both living and non-living things. Look inside your
house and other buildings such as a grocery store.
Can you name five things that you think are living?
How do you know they are living?
Can you name five things that you think are non-living?
How do you know they are not living?

Both lists show many different things. Some of these things can move while
others cannot. Some of these things need food while others do not. Some can
grow, others do not grow. Some breathe, others do not breathe.
A table, chair, pencil, and clothes cannot grow. These things cannot talk or
walk. Things, which do not grow, move, or respond are called non-living things.
A baby plant grows into a big plant or into a tree. A puppy grows into a dog.
A baby grows into a person. Things that grow, breathe, and respond are called
living things.
All man-made things are non-living things, but not all natural things are living
things. While people, animals, and plants are living natural things, stars,
mountains, clouds, air, and water are non-living natural things.

Ergonomics
“The scientific discipline concerned with understanding of
interactions among humans and other elements of a system,
and the profession that applies theory, principles, methods
and data to design in order to optimize human well-being and
overall system performance”.
Ergonomics means “fitting the job to the worker”
From the Greek
Ergo = Work Nomos = Laws
“The Goal of ergonomics is to ‘fit the job to the person,’ rather than making the person fit the job.

What are the kind of questions that a student of materials science would like answers for?
• Why is glass brittle, while copper is ductile? What is meant by a ductile material?
• If we take two rods, one of Al and one of steel, why is it easier to bend the Al rod as
compared to the steel rod?
• How can I change properties like hardness, without changing the composition.
• Why is wire of copper conducting, while piece of brick or wood non-conducting?
• Why is glass transparent, while any typical metal is opaque?
• Why does the electrical conductivity of Cu decrease on heating, while that of Si
increases?
• Why does Iron corrode easily, while Aluminium does not (or does not seem to?!)?
• Usually, good thermal conductors are also good electrical conductors. Why is this so?
Why is diamond a good thermal conductor, but not a good electrical conductor?
• If I pull a spring and then release the load, it ‘comes back’ to its original shape.
However, a if I bend an aluminium rod, does not come back to its original shape. How

Mechanical Properties of Material
• It is defined as the ability of material to resist load without failure.
• If a material withstand a grater load, then material has a more strength.
Strength
In materials science, the strength of a
material is its ability to withstand
an applied load without failure or
plastic deformation. The field of
strength of materials deals with forces and deformations that result from their
acting on a material.

Ductility
• Ability to deform when subjected to tensile load.
• Copper, aluminum, and steel are examples of ductile metals. The
opposite of ductility is brittleness, where a material breaks when
tensile stress is applied to lengthen it. Examples of brittle
materials include cast iron, concrete, and some glass products.

Creep
Mechanical Properties of Material
Creep (sometimes called cold flow) is the tendency of a solid material to move slowly or
deform permanently under the influence of mechanical stresses. It can occur as a result
of long-term exposure to high levels of stress that are still below the yield strength of the
material.
It is the time dependent plastic deformation of material under
constant load and high temperature.

Fatigue
Mechanical Properties of Material
When a material is subjected under repeated load then it fails
below yield point stress, it is called a fatigue.
Academic Fatigue
In materials science, fatigue is the weakening of a material caused by repeatedly
applied loads. It is the progressive and localised structural damage that occurs when
a material is subjected to cyclic loading.

Resilience
Mechanical Properties of Material
It is the ability of material to absorb and store energy when
loaded within elastic limit. Desirable in materials for springs.
In material science, resilience is the ability of a material to absorb energy when it is
deformed elastically, and release that energy upon unloading. ... The modulus of
resilience is defined as the maximum energy that can be absorbed per unit volume
without creating a permanent distortion.

Formability
Mechanical Properties of Material
Formability is the ability of a given metal workpiece to undergo plastic deformation
without being damaged. The plastic deformation capacity of metallic materials,
however, is limited to a certain extent, at which point, the material could experience
tearing or fracture (breakage).
Formability may be defined as the ease with which material may
be forced into a permanent change of shape.

Material Selection Basics
Why
- To make full use of the engineering materials
- To avoid unnecessarily expensive structures
- To avoid failures
When
- A new product is developed
- A product is modified and redesigned
- Failures have occurred
Who
- Design engineers in collaboration with materials engineers
How
- Specify the requirements for the component
- Transfer the requirements to materials properties
- Find the material groups that satisfy the specification
- Find the individual materials that satisfy the specification
- identify the "best" materials that satisfy the specification

Material Selection Criteria
Criteria
Availability The material should be already available in the market in the abundant
quantity.
Cost The cost of the material selected for a particular job from several
alternatives should be minimum.
Material
Properties
The properties of the materials selected should meet the functional
requirements and the service conditions.
Manufacturing
Considerations
It has been the most important factor while selecting the material for a
particular job. The materials should be selected for particular part
based on the process by which it is going to be manufactured.
Environmental
Considerations
The effect of environmental conditions [Like temperature, humidity,
etc.] should be given more attention during selection of material.
Machinability
Machinability is the case with which a given metal can be machined.
Machinability of the material depends upon hardness, strength and
chemical Composition of materials.
Formability
It is an indication of suitability of the metal for a machine part that
requires forming. Forming depends upon ductility and tensile Strength.

Cast Iron
• It is hard, brittle, nonmalleable (i.e. it cannot be bent, stretched or hammered into
shape) and more fusible (capable of being melted) than steel. Its structure is
crystalline and it fractures under excessive tensile loading with little prior distortion.
• Most cast irons have a chemical composition of 2.5–4.0% carbon, 1–3% silicon, and the
remainder iron.
What is the use of cast iron?
It is used to make pots and pans and all sort of instruments that are used for heating
purposes. This is because the cast iron surface distributes the heat from the stone evenly
all over its surface. It can also be used for baking purposes. It is even used to make
stoves from a single piece of mould.
Why cast iron is very brittle?
The reason why is there is no carbon in it.

Mechanism and Machine
By: Nitin Shekapure
Machine is a device which receives energy and transforms it into some
useful work. A machine consists of a number of parts or bodies.
Mechanism is a system of parts working together in a machine; a piece of
machinery
A mechanism is something that changes an input motion and force into an
output motion and force.
N

Levers
A lever is a rigid beam that can rotate about a fixed
point called the fulcrum (support). An effort
applied to one end of the beam will cause a load to
be moved at the other.

Kinematic Link or Element
Each part of a machine, which moves relative to some other part, is known
as a kinematic link (or simply link) or element.
Types of Link
In order to transmit motion, the driver and the follower may be connected
by the following three types of links :
• Rigid link
• Flexible link
• Fluid link
By: Nitin Shekapure
N
itin
Shekapure
Rigid link:
A rigid link is one which does not undergo any deformation while
transmitting motion. Strictly speaking, rigid links do not exist. However, as
the deformation of a connecting rod, crank etc. of a reciprocating steam
engine is not appreciable, they can be considered as rigid links.
N
itin
Shekapure
Flexible link:
A flexible link is one which is partly deformed in a manner not to affect the
transmission of motion. For example, belts, ropes, chains and wires are
flexible links and transmit tensile forces only.
N
itin
Shekapure
Fluid link:
A fluid link is one which is formed by having a fluid in a receptacle and the
motion is transmitted through the fluid by pressure or compression only, as
in the case of hydraulic presses, jacks and brakes.
N
itin
Shekapure
Mechanisms are made of links/elements
Link: It is a resistant body, which does not deform while
transmitting motion, force or power.
Kinematic pair:
Two elements or links joined together such that the relative
motion between them is predefined.
Link - It must be a resistant body.
It must be connected to the other parts of the machine.
It must have motion relative to other connected parts of
the machine.

Kinematic Pair
Two links connected together to produce a definite constrained
motion is called kinematic pair.

Kinematic Chain
A kinematic chain is formed by arranging number of links which
move relative to each other following a definite constrained
motion.
Types of Kinematic Chain

2. Slider crank chain
3. Double slider crank chain
N

Four Bar Chain (Quadric Cycle Chain)
• Four bar chain is the simplest and the basic kinematic chain.
• It consists of four links, each of them forms a turning pair at A, B, C and D.
• The four links may be of different lengths.
• According to Grashof ’s law for a four bar mechanism, the sum of the
shortest and longest link lengths should not be greater than the sum of the
remaining two link lengths if there is to be continuous relative motion
between the two links.
• A very important consideration in designing a mechanism is to ensure that
the input crank makes a complete revolution relative to the other links,
Such a link is known as crank or driver .
N
itin
Shekapure
• In a four bar chain, one of the links, in particular the shortest link, will
make a complete revolution relative to the other three links, if it satisfies
the Grashof’s law. Such a link is known as crank or driver.
• AD (link 4 ) is a crank.
• The link BC (link 2) which makes a partial rotation or oscillates is known as
lever or rocker or follower
• and the link CD (link 3) which connects the crank and lever is called
• connecting rod or coupler.
• The fixed link AB (link 1) is known as frame of the mechanism.

Single Slider Crank Chain
• single slider crank chain is a modification of the basic four bar chain.
• It consist of one sliding pair and three turning pairs.
• It is, usually, found in reciprocating steam engine mechanism.
• This type of mechanism converts rotary motion into reciprocating
motion and vice versa.
The links 1 and 2, links 2 and 3, and links 3 and 4 form three turning
pairs while the links 4 and 1 form a sliding pair.
N
itin
Shekapure
Single Slider Crank Chain
• The link 1 corresponds to the frame of the engine, which is fixed.
• The link 2 corresponds to the crank.
• The link 3 corresponds to the connecting rod.
• The link 4 corresponds to cross-head.
• As the crank rotates, the cross-head reciprocates in the guides
and thus the piston reciprocates in the cylinder.
By: Nitin Shekapure
N
itin
Shekapure
Double slider crank chain
• A kinematic chain which consists of two turning pairs and two
sliding pairs is known as double slider crank chain,
• We see that the link 2 and link 1 form one turning
• pair and link 2 and link 3 form the second turning pair. The link 3
and link 4 form one sliding pair and
• link 1 and link 4 form the second sliding pair.

Cost The cost of the material selected for a particular job from several alternatives should be minimum. Material Properties The properties of the materials selected should meet the functional requirements and the service conditions. Manufacturing Considerations It has been the most important factor while selecting the material for a particular job. The materials should be selected for particular part based on the process by which it is going to be manufactured. Environmental Considerations The effect of environmental conditions [Like temperature, humidity, etc.] should be given more attention during selection of material. Machinability Machinability is the case with which a given metal can be machined. Machinability of the material depends upon hardness, strength and chemical Composition of materials.

    Cast Iron • Itis hard, brittle, nonmalleable (i.e. it cannot be bent, stretched or hammered into shape) and more fusible (capable of being melted) than steel. Its structure is crystalline and it fractures under excessive tensile loading with little prior distortion. • Most cast irons have a chemical composition of 2.5–4.0% carbon, 1–3% silicon, and the remainder iron. What is the use of cast iron? It is used to make pots and pans and all sort of instruments that are used for heating purposes.
