2 WHAT IS A DESIGN? Design is the quest for simplicity and order. Explicit in the term design are the concepts of order and organization. Design is the process of inventing artifacts that display a new physical order, organization, and form in response to function. Design is a conscious and intuitive effort directed toward the ordering of the functional, material, and visual requirements of the problem. Design is a statement of order and organization. Its goal is unity. It must hold together. It is an expression of the human ubiquitous quest for order. Design implies intention, meaning, and purpose. The planning and patterning of any act toward a desired, foreseeable end constitutes the design process.

3 The notion of bringing something into being that did not exist before, whether from scratch or on the foundation of an existing design, is fascinating. Could there be a headier pursuit than participating in creation itself? Machine Design August 7, 2008 DESIGN IS COOL

4 OBJECTIVE MME2259a Considering that designing is creative activity, the objective of MME2259a is to introduce design methodology and design tools (applicable to Mechanical Engineering) which are used to execute this creative design process with the objective of creating products that satisfy customers’ needs.

7 TYPES OF ENGINEERING DESIGN (i)Selection Design – choose item(s) from a catalog (ii)Configuration Design – organize the packaging of components (iii)Parametric Design – finding variables or parameters. (iv)Redesign, alternative design – modifying an existing product. (v)Original Design – develop a totally new product.

12 Configuration design Selection and arrangement of components on a product Selection and arrangement of features on a part Factors in configuration design Spatial limitations Product interactions with other physical objects and the user(s) Maintenance Wear Desired customization by the user Need to include standard parts and assemblies Need to conform to industrial standards Need to replace consumable materials CONFIGURATION DESIGN

14 Example: Design a cylindrical storage tank that holds 4 m 3 of liquid. Volume: V = x r 2 x l thus 4 = x r 2 x l 1.273 = r 2 x l Note: There are an infinite number of values for (r, l); therefore more information is necessary. 2r2r l PARAMETRIC DESIGN

18 ANALYSIS VS. DESIGN Analysis Problem – a well defined problem with one correct solution. Design Problem – an ill-defined problem with numerous satisfactory solutions. Example: The problem of designing a simple lap joint. Analysis Problem – What size of SAE Grade 5 bolt should be used to fasten together two pieces of 1045 sheet steel, each 4 mm thick and 60 mm wide, which are lapped over each other and loaded with 100N ? Design Problem – Design a joint to fasten together two pieces of 1045 sheet steel, each 4 mm thick and 6 cm wide, which are lapped over each other and loaded with 100N.

29 The goal of the term project is to design a consumer product such as: log splitter, wheelbarrow, utility trailer, boat trailer, towing hitch, bicycle hitch carrier, car turntable etc. The selected project must allow the design team to use CAD design techniques such as assemblies, weldments and sheet metal. It also must allow the use of Motion Simulation. The choice of product will be made by design team and will be approved by course instructor. Each design team will: identify the need establish relevant design specifications generate and evaluate several concepts develop detailed design including engineering drawings develop design documentation use design simulation (limited to Motion Simulation) to investigate product performance DESIGN PROJECT
