【正文】 s undertaken. In general, the lowest overall costs are designed. Consideration should be given not only to the cost of design, manufacture the necessary safety features and be of pleasing external appearance. The objective is to produce a machine which is not only sufficiently rugged to function properly for a reasonable life, but is at the same time cheap enough to be economically feasible.機(jī)器設(shè)計(jì)為了特定的目的而發(fā)明或改進(jìn)機(jī)器的一種藝術(shù)。一般來(lái)講，機(jī)器時(shí)有多種不同的合理設(shè)計(jì)并有序裝配在一起的部件構(gòu)成的，在最初的機(jī)器設(shè)計(jì)階段，必須基本明確負(fù)載、元件的運(yùn)動(dòng)情況、工程材料的合理使用性能。負(fù)責(zé)新機(jī)器的設(shè)計(jì)最初的最重要的是經(jīng)濟(jì)性考慮。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，選擇總成本最低的設(shè)計(jì)方案，不僅要考慮設(shè)計(jì)、制造、銷(xiāo)售、安裝的成本。還要考慮服務(wù)的費(fèi)用，機(jī)械要保證必要的安全性能和美觀的外形。制造機(jī)器的目標(biāo)不僅要追求保證只用功能的合理壽命，還要保證足夠便宜以同時(shí)保證其經(jīng)濟(jì)的可行性。 The engineer in charge of the design of a machine should not only have adequate technical training, but must be a man of sound judgment and wide experience, qualities which are usually acquired only after considerable time has been spent in actual professional work.負(fù)責(zé)設(shè)計(jì)機(jī)器的工程師，不僅要經(jīng)過(guò)專(zhuān)業(yè)的培訓(xùn)，而且必須是一個(gè)準(zhǔn)確判斷而又有豐富經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人，具有一種有足夠時(shí)間從事專(zhuān)門(mén)的實(shí)際工作的素質(zhì)。Design of machine elements機(jī)器零件的設(shè)計(jì) The principles of design are, of course, universal. The same theory or equations may be applied to a very small part, as in an instrument, or, to a larger but similar part used in a piece of heavy equipment. In no ease, however, should mathematical calculations be looked upon as absolute and final. They are all subject to the accuracy of the various assumptions, which must necessarily be made in engineering work. Sometimes only a portion of the total number of parts in a machine are designed on the basis of analytic calculations. The form and size of the remaining parts are designed on the basis of analytic calculations. On the other hand, if the machine is very expensive, or if weight is a factor, as in airplanes, design putations may then be made for almost all the parts.相同的理論或方程可應(yīng)用在一個(gè)一起的非常小的零件上，也可用在一個(gè)復(fù)雜的設(shè)備的大型相似件上，既然如此，毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，數(shù)學(xué)計(jì)算是絕對(duì)的和最終的。他們都符合不同的設(shè)想，這必須由工程量決定。有時(shí)，一臺(tái)機(jī)器的零件全部計(jì)算僅僅是設(shè)計(jì)的一部分。零件的結(jié)構(gòu)和尺寸通常根據(jù)實(shí)際考慮。另一方面，如果機(jī)器和昂貴，或者質(zhì)量很重要，例如飛機(jī)，那麼每一個(gè)零件都要設(shè)計(jì)計(jì)算。 The purpose of the design calculations is, of course, to attempt to predict the stress or deformation in the part in order that it may sagely carry the loads, which will be imposed on it, and that it may last for the expected life of the machine. All calculations are, of course, dependent on the physical properties of the construction materials as determined by laboratory tests. A rational method of design attempts to take the results of relatively simple and fundamental tests such as tension, pression, torsion, and fatigue and apply them to all the plicated and involved situations encountered in presentday machinery. 當(dāng)然，設(shè)計(jì)計(jì)算的目的是試圖預(yù)測(cè)零件的應(yīng)力和變形，以保證其安全的帶動(dòng)負(fù)載，這是必要的，并且其也許影響到機(jī)器的最終壽命。當(dāng)然，所有的計(jì)算依賴(lài)于這些結(jié)構(gòu)材料通過(guò)試驗(yàn)測(cè)定的物理性能。國(guó)際上的設(shè)計(jì)方法試圖通過(guò)從一些相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單的而基本的實(shí)驗(yàn)中得到一些結(jié)果，這些試驗(yàn)，例如結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜的及現(xiàn)代機(jī)械設(shè)計(jì)到的電壓、轉(zhuǎn)矩和疲勞強(qiáng)度。 In addition, it has been amply proved that such details as surface condition, fillets, notches, manufacturing tolerances, and heat treatment have a market effect on the strength and useful life of a machine part. The design and drafting departments must specify pletely all such particulars, must specify pletely all such particulars, and thus exercise the necessary close control over the finished product.另外，可以充分證明，一些細(xì)節(jié)，如表面粗糙度、圓角、開(kāi)槽、制造公差和熱處理都對(duì)機(jī)械零件的強(qiáng)度及使用壽命有影響。設(shè)計(jì)和構(gòu)建布局要完全詳細(xì)地說(shuō)明每一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)，并且對(duì)最終產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行必要的測(cè)試。 As mentioned above, machine design is a vast field of engineering technology. As such, it begins with the conception of an idea and follows through the various phases of design analysis, manufacturing, marketing and consumerism. The following is a list of the major areas of consideration in the general field of machine design:綜上所述，機(jī)械設(shè)計(jì)是一個(gè)非常寬的工程技術(shù)領(lǐng)域。例如，從設(shè)計(jì)理念到設(shè)計(jì)分析的每一個(gè)階段，制造，市場(chǎng)，銷(xiāo)售。以下是機(jī)械設(shè)計(jì)的一般領(lǐng)域應(yīng)考慮的主要方面的清單： ① Initial design conception。 最初的設(shè)計(jì)理念 ② Strength analysis。受力分析 ③ Materials selection。材料的選擇 ④ Appearance。 外形 ⑤ Manufacturing。制造 ⑥ Safety。安全性 ⑦ Environment effects。環(huán)境影響 ⑧Reliability and life。 可靠性及壽命 Strength is a measure of the ability to resist, without fails, forces which cause stresses and strains. The forces may be。在沒(méi)有破壞的情況下，強(qiáng)度是抵抗引起應(yīng)力和應(yīng)變的一種量度。這些力可能是： ① Gradually applied。漸變力 ② Suddenly applied。瞬時(shí)力 ③ Applied under impact。沖擊力 ④ Applied with continuous direction reversals。不斷變化的力 ⑤ Applied at low or elevated If a critical part of a machine fails, the whole machine must be shut down until a repair is made. Thus, when designing a new machine, it is extremely important that critical parts be made strong enough to prevent failure. The designer should determine as precisely as possible the nature, magnitude, direction and point of application of all forces. Machine design is mot, however, an exact science and it is, therefore, rarely possible to determine exactly all the applied forces. In addition, different samples of a specified material will exhibit somewhat different abilities to resist loads, temperatures and other environment conditions. In spite of this, design calculations based on appropriate assumptions are invaluable in the proper design of machine.如果一個(gè)機(jī)器的關(guān)鍵件損壞，整個(gè)機(jī)器必須關(guān)閉，直到修理好為止。設(shè)計(jì)一臺(tái)新機(jī)器時(shí)，關(guān)鍵件具有足夠的抵抗破壞的能力是非常重要的。設(shè)計(jì)者應(yīng)盡可能準(zhǔn)確地確定所有的性質(zhì)、大小、方向及作用點(diǎn)。機(jī)器設(shè)計(jì)不是這樣，但精確的科學(xué)是這樣，因此很難準(zhǔn)確地確定所有力。另外，一種特殊材料的不同樣本會(huì)顯現(xiàn)出不同的性能，像抗負(fù)載、溫度和其他外部條件。盡管如此，在機(jī)械設(shè)計(jì)中給予合理綜合的設(shè)計(jì)計(jì)算是非常有用的。 Moreover, it is absolutely essential that a design engineer knows how and why parts fail so that reliable machines which require minimum maintenance can be designed. Sometimes, a failure can be serious, such as when a tire blows out on an automobile traveling at high speeds. On the other hand, a failure may be no more than a nuisance. An example is the loosening of the radiator hose in the automobile cooling system. The consequence of this latter failure is usually the loss of some radiator coolant, a condition which is readily detected and corrected. 此外，顯而易見(jiàn)的是一個(gè)知道零件是如何和為什麼破壞的設(shè)計(jì)師可以設(shè)計(jì)出需要很少維修的可靠機(jī)器。有時(shí)，一次失敗是嚴(yán)重的，例如高速行駛的汽車(chē)的輪胎爆裂。另一方面，失敗未必是麻煩。例如，汽車(chē)的冷卻系統(tǒng)的散熱器皮帶管松開(kāi)。這種破壞的后果通常是損失一些散熱片，可以探測(cè)并改正過(guò)來(lái)。 The type of load a part absorbs is just as significant as the magnitude. Generally speaking, dynamic loads
