PAGE 12 附录一 Machinery design is either to formulate an engineering plan for the satisfaction of a specified need or to solve an engineering problem. It involves a range of disciplines in materials, mechanics, heat, flow, control, electronics and production. Machinery design may be simple or enormously complex, easy or difficult, mathematical or nonmathematical, it may involve a trivial problem or one of great importance. Good design is the orderly and interesting arrangement of an idea to provide certain results or effects. A well-designed product is functional, efficient, and dependable. Such a product is less expensive than a similar poorly designed product that does not function properly and must constantly be repaired. People who perform the various functions of machinery design are typically called industrial designers. He or she must first carefully define the problem, using an engineering approach, to ensure that any proposed solution will solve the right problem. [2]It is important that the designer begins by identifying exactly how he or she will recognize a satisfactory alternative, and how to distinguish between two satisfactory alternatives in order to identify the better. So industrial designers must have creative imagination, knowledge of engineering, production techniques, tools, machines, and materials to design a new product for manufacture, or to improve an existing product. In the modern industrialized world, the wealth and living standards of a nation are closely linked with their capabilities to design and manufacture engineering products. It can be claimed that the advancement of machinery design and manufacturing can remarkably promote theoverall level of a country’s industrization. Our country is playing a more and more vital role in the global manufacturing industry. To accelerate such an industrializing process, highly skilled design engineers having extensive knowledge and expertise are needed The major part of a machine is the mechanic
