Unit 1 Machine Design机械设计 Text Machine Design The complete design of a machine is a complex process. The designer must have a good background in such fields as statics, kinematics, dynamics, and strength of materials, and in addition, be familiar with fabricating materials and processes. The designer must be able to assemble all the relevant facts, and make calculations, sketches, and drawings to convey manufacturing information to the shop. mechanical [mik?nik?l] design 机械设计 complex [k?mpleks] a. 复杂的 statics [st?tiks] n. 静力学 kinematics [kinim?tiks] n. 运动学 dynamics [dain?miks] n. 动力学 strength of materials 材料强度 in addition ad. 另外 be familiar [f?milj?] with 熟悉 fabricate [f?brikeit] vt. 装配[?sembl] vt. vi.装配[rel?v?nt] a. 有关的[.k?lkjulei??n] n.计算[sket?] n. 草图One of the first steps in the design of any product is to select the material from which each part is to be made. Numerous materials are available to today’s designers. The function of the product, its appearance, the cost of the material, and the cost of fabrication are important in making a selection. A careful evaluation of the properties of a material must be made prior to any calculations. numerous [nju:m?r?s] a. 很多的[i.v?ljuei??n] n. 估价property [pr?p?ti] n. 特性[prai?] a. 在先的Careful calculations are necessary to ensure the validity of a design. Calculations never appear on drawings, but are filed away for several reasons. In case of any part failures, it is desirable to know what was done in originally designing the defective components. Also, an experience file can result from having calculations from past projects. When a similar design is needed, past records are of great help.

The misplacement of one decimal point can ruin an otherwise acceptable project. For example, if one were to design
