THE DESIGN ENGINEER’S

PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES

Satisfy needs of the customer in a

competent, responsible, ethical, and

professional manner.

Some key advise for a professional engineer

• Be competent

• Keep current in field of practice

• Keep good documentation

• Ensure good and timely communication

• Act professionally and ethically


ETHICAL GUIDELINES FOR

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

National Society of Professional Engineers(NSPE) publishes a Code of Ethics forEngineers and an Engineers’ Creed.

www.nspe.org/ethics


http://www.nspe.org/ethics

ETHICAL GUIDELINES FOR

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

Six Fundamental Canons Engineers, in thefulfillment of their professional duties, shall:

1. Hold paramount safety, health, and welfare of the public

2. Perform services only in areas of their competence

3. Issue public statements only in an objective & truthfulmanner

4. Act for each employer or client as faithful agents ortrustees

5. Avoid deceptive acts

6. Conduct themselves honorably, responsibly, ethically,and lawfully so as to enhance the honor, reputation, andusefulness of the profession.


STANDARDS AND CODES

Standard

• A set of specifications for parts, materials, or processes

• Intended to achieve uniformity, efficiency, and a specified

quality

• Limits the multitude of variations

Code

• A set of specifications for the analysis, design,

manufacture, and construction of something

• To achieve a specified degree of safety, efficiency, and

performance or quality

• Does not imply absolute safety

ECONOMICS

Cost is an important factor in engineering

design

Use of standard sizes is a first principle of

cost reduction.

TOLERANCES

Close tolerances

generally increase

cost & require:

• additional

processing steps

• additional

inspection

• machines with

lower production

rates


17

BREAKEVEN POINTS

A cost comparison between two possible production methods

There is a breakeven point on quantity of production


Automatic screw

machine

25 parts/hr

3 hr setup

$20/hr labor cost

Hand screw machine

10 parts/hr

Minimal setup

$20/hr labor cost

Breakeven at 50 units

SAFETY & PRODUCT LIABILITY

Manufacturer is liable for damage or harm

that results because of a defect.

Negligence need not be proved.

Calls for good engineering in analysis and

design, quality control, and comprehensive

testing.


STRESS AND STRENGTH

Strength

•An inherent property of a material or of a

mechanical element

•Depends on treatment and processing

•May or may not be uniform throughout the part

•Examples: Ultimate strength, yield strength

Stress

•A state property at a specific point within a body

•Primarily a function of load and geometry

•Sometimes also a function of temperature and

processingMohammad Suliman Abuhaiba, Ph.D., P.E. Wednesday, February 01, 2017 2

UNCERTAINTY

Common sources of uncertainty in stress or strength

Composition of material and the effect of variation on properties

Variations in properties from place to place within a bar of stock

Effect of processing locally, or nearby, on properties

Effect of nearby assemblies such as weldments and shrink fits on

stress conditions

Effect of thermo-mechanical treatment on properties

Intensity and distribution of loading

Validity of mathematical models used to represent reality

Intensity of stress concentrations

Influence of time on strength and geometry

Effect of corrosion and wear


UNCERTAINTY

Stochastic method

•Based on statistical nature of the design

parameters

•Focus on the probability of survival of the

design’s function (reliability)

•Often limited by availability of statistical data



22

RELIABILITY

Reliability, R: statistical measure of the

probability that a mechanical element will not

fail in use

Probability of Failure, pf : number of instances

of failures per total number of possible

instances

Example: If 1000 parts are manufactured, with

6 of the parts failing, the reliability is


RELIABILITY

Overall reliability of a series system = product

of reliabilities of individual components

Example: A shaft with two bearings having

reliabilities of 95% & 98% has an overall

reliability of

R = R1 R2 = 0.95 (0.98) = 0.93 or 93%

DIMENSIONS AND TOLERANCES

Nominal size: size we use in speaking of an

element.

Is not required to match actual dimension

Limits: stated max & min dimensions

Tolerance: difference between the two limits

Bilateral tolerance: variation in both

directions from basic dimension, e.g. 1.005 ±

0.002 in.



Unilateral tolerance: basic dimension is taken

as one of the limits, and variation is permitted

in only one direction, e.g.

Clearance: difference in sizes of two mating

cylindrical parts such as a bolt and a hole.

Diametral clearance

Radial clearance



Interference: opposite of clearance, where

internal member is larger than the external

member

Allowance: minimum stated clearance or

maximum stated interference of mating parts


CALCULATIONS AND

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

Accuracy of a real number depends on number of

significant figures describing the number

Unless otherwise stated, no less than three

significant figures should be used in your

calculations.

# of significant figures is usually inferred by # of

figures given.

706, 3.14, and 0.00219 are assumed to be

numbers with three significant figures

Wednesday, February 01, 2017Mohammad Suliman Abuhaiba, Ph.D., P.E. 28

CALCULATIONS AND

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

Consider a number such as 91600.

For three significant figures express the

number as 91.6 × 103

For four significant figures express it as

91.60 × 103

Never report a number of significant

figures of a calculation any greater than

smallest number of significant figures of

the numbers used for the calculation.
