Design of machine element

Design of Machine Element
"Design of Machine Element" consists of designing a machine element with the use of scientific principal and engineering approach so that it is most efficient and safe in its functionality.
Design
The word “Design” in “Design of Machine Element” refers to the finding appropriate size (and shape) of Machine Element that can sustain stresses developed in it in particular application.Safety is a very important factor that should be taken into account while designing with other factors, that's why Machine components are designed for stress more than 'maximum stress developed in a particular application' due to safety consideration,it is taken into account by the factor of safety.
Design consideration
Design of 'Machine element' influence by the following factor-
Design process
1.The first step in designing a machine element is 'Defining Function of an element'.
2.Finding applied force on machine element
3.material selection
4.Finding mode of failure
5.Determining dimension of the machine element
