The term shaft usually refers to a relatively long member of round cross section that rotates and transmits power. One or more members such as gears, sprockets, pulleys, and cams are usually (16) to the shaft by means of pins, keys, splines, snap rings, and other devices. These latter members are among the “associated parts” considered in this text, as are couplings and universal joint, which serve to (17) the shaft to the source of power or load.

A shaft can have a noround cross section, ant it need not necessarily rotate. It can be stationary and

serve to (18) a rotating member, such as the short shafts that support the nondriving wheels of an automobile. The shafts supporting(19) gears can be either rotating or stationary depending on (20) the gear is attached to the shaft or supported by it through bearings.

It is apparent that shafts can be subjected to various combinations of axial, bending, and(21) loads, and that these loads may be static or fluctuating. Typically, a rotating shaft transmitting power is (22) to a constant torque (producing a mean torsional stress) together with a completely reversed bending load (producing an alternating bending stress).

In addition to satisfying (23) requirements, shafts must be designed so that deflections are within acceptable limits. Excessive (24) shafts deflection can hamper gear performance and cause (25) noise. The associated angular deflection can be very destructive to no-self- aligning bearings(either plain or rolling). (26) deflection can affect the accuracy of a cam or gear driven mechanism.

Furthermore, the greater the flexibility -either lateral or torsional-the lower the corresponding (27) speed.

Engineering design is a systematic process by which solution to the needs of humankind are obtained .The process is applied to problems(needs) of varying complexity .For example, mechanical engineers will use the design process to find an effective, efficient method to convert reciprocating motion to circular motion for the drive train in an intnternal combustion engine;

electrical engineers will use the process to design electrical generating systems using falling water as the power source; and materials engineers use the process to design ablative materials which enable astronauts to safely reenter the earth’s atmosphere.

The vast majority of complex problems in today’s high technology society depend for solution not on a single engineering discipline, but on teams of engineers, scientists, environmentalists, economists, sociologists, and legal personnel. Solutions are not only dependent regulations and political influence. As engineers we are empowered with the technical expertise to develop new and improved products and systems, but at the same time we must be increasingly aware of the impact of our actions on society and the environment in general and work conscientiously toward the best solution in view of all relevant factors.

Design is the culmination of engineering educational process; it is the salient feature that distinguishes engineering design is found in the curriculum guidelines of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET).ABET accredits curricula in engineering schools and derives its membership from the various engineering professional societies. Each accredited curriculum has a well-defined design component which falls within the ABET statement on design 订

read as follows.

Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is decision making process(often iterative),in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a sated objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction ,testing, and evaluation. The engineering design component of a curriculum must include most of the following features : development of student creativity, use of open-ended problem statement and use of modern design theory and methodology, formulation of design problem statement and specification, consideration of alternative solutions, feasibility considerations, production process, concurrent engineering design, and detailed system descriptions. Further, it is essential to include a variety of realistic constraints such as economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics, and social impact.

TEXT 2

Working drawings are the complete set of standardized drawings specifying the manufacture and assembly of a product based on its design. The complexity of the design determines the number and types of drawings. Working drawings may be on more than one sheet and may contain written instructions called specifications.

Working drawings are blueprints used for manufacturing products. Therefore, the set of drawings must:(a) completely describe the parts, both visually and dimensionally;(b)show the parts in assembly;(3)identify all the parts; and (4)specify standard parts. The graphics and text information must be sufficiently complete and accurate to manufacture and assemble the product without error.

共 5 页第 2 页

(1) Detail drawings of each nonstandard parts.

(2) An assembly or subassembly drawing showing all the standard and nonstandard parts in a single drawing.

(3) A bill of materials (BOM).

(4) A title block.

A detail drawing is a dimensioned, multiview drawing of a single part, describing the part’s shape, size, material, and surface roughness, in sufficient detail for the part to be manufactured based on the drawing alone. Detail drawings are produced from design sketches or extracted from 3-D computer models. They adhere strictly to ANSI standards and the standard for the specific company, for dimensioning, assigning part numbers, notes, tolerances, etc.

In an assembly, standard parts such as threaded fasteners and bearings are not drawn as details, but are shown in the assembly view. Standard parts are not drawn as details because they are normally purchased, not manufactured, for assembly.

For large assemblies or assembled with large parts, details are drawn on multiple sheets, and a separate sheet is used for the assembly view. If the assembly is simple or the parts are small, detail drawings for each part of an assembly can be placed on a single sheet.

Multiple details on a sheet are usually drawn at the same scale. If different scales are used, they are clearly marked under each detail. Also, when more than one detail is placed on a sheet, the spacing between details is carefully planned, including leaving sufficient room for dimensions and notes.

36. Based on the message, which of the follow is wrong ?

A) standard parts needn’t drawn as details

B) for simple parts, sometimes needn’t to draw the detail working drawing

C) for large assemblies details may drawn on multiple sheets

D) If different scales used in a single sheet, they should clearly marked under each detail

37. Working drawings for an assembly MAY NOT includes: ?

A) BOM B) title block

C) An assembly or subassembly drawing D) Detail drawings of all parts.

38. For detail drawing, Which one of the following statement is not true ?

A) should not has different scales

B) Detail drawing can produced from design sketches or extracted from 3-D computer

models.

C) detail drawing is a dimensioned, multiview drawing of a single part

D) should Adhere strictly to ANSI standards

39. From the message we can infer ANSI is ?

A) a set of law B) a set of notification

C) an Organization D) IEEE government

40. The topic of the message is ?

A) How to design working drawings.

B) working drawing’s character and the key influence of how to draw a working drawing

C) In the design process, what should be considered?

D) What is working drawing

TEXT 3

One principle aim of kinematics is to create (design) the desired motions of the subjects’ mechanical parts and then mathematically compute the positions, velocities, and accelerations, which those will create on the parts. Since, for most earthbound mechanical systems, the mass remains essentially constant with time, defining the accelerations as a function of time then also defines the dynamic forces as a function of time. Stresses, in turn, will be a function of both applied and inertial (ma) forces. Since engineering design is charged with creating systems which will not fail during their expected service life, the goal is to keep stresses within acceptable limits for the materials chosen and the environmental conditions encountered. This obviously requires that all system forces be defined and kept within desired limits. In machinery, the largest forces encountered are often those due to the dynamics of the machine itself. These dynamic forces are proportional to acceleration, which brings us back to kinematics, the foundation of mechanical design. Very basic and early decision in the design process involving kinematic principles can be crucial to the success of any mechanical design; a design which has poor kinematics will prove troublesome and perform badly.

Any mechanical system can be classified according to the number of degree of freedom (DOF) which it processes. The system’s DOF is equal to the number of independent parameters which are needed to uniquely define its position in space at any instant of time.

A rigid body free to move within a reference frame will, in the general case, has complex motion, which is a simultaneous combination of rotation and translation. In three-dimensional space, there may be rotation about any axis and also simultaneous translation which can be resolved into components along three axes. In a plane, or two-dimensional space, complex motion becomes a combination of simultaneous rotation about one axis (perpendicular to the plane) and also translation resolved into components along two axes in the plane

41、Kinematics research focus on the following EXCEPT ______..

A) accelerations B) force

C) positions, D) velocities

42、From the passage that for the design engineer the first and most important is____

A) the service life of a machine B) the materials choose

C) the degree of freedom D) kinematic principles

43、An mechanical system has uniquely defined position in space at any instant of time that ___.

A) It should has one DOF

B) It should Has two DOF

C) the DOF and the number of independent parameters should equal

D) It should has any DOF as want

44、 which one of the following is NOT TRUE _______?.

A) A rigid body free to move in three-dimensional space may rotation about any axis

B) A rigid body free to move in three-dimensional space is a simultaneous combination of rotation

and translation

C) A rigid body free to move in three-dimensional space can be resolved into components along

three axes

D) A rigid body free to move in three-dimensional space may has complex motion

45、The best title for this passage would be _______.

A) kinematics B) dynamics

C) kinematics and dynamic D) the important of kinematics

As we look around us we see a world full of “things”, machines, devices, tools, things that we have designed, built, and used; things made of wood, metals, ceramics, and plastics. We know from experience that some things are better than others; they last longer, cost less, are quieter, or are ease to use. Ideally , however, every such item has been designed according to some set of “functional requirements” as perceived by the designers—that is, it hs been designed so as to answer the question, “exactly what function should it perform?” In the world of engineering, the major function frequently is to support some type of loading due to weight, inertia , pressure, etc.

Density: the density of a material is its mass per unit volume. Another term id specific gravity, which express a material’s density in relation to that of water, and thus, it has no units.Weight saving is important particularly for aircraft and aerospace structures, for automotive bodies and components, and for other products where energy consumption and power limitations are major concerns. Substitution of materials for the sake of weight saving and economy is a major factor in the design both of advanced equipment and machinery and of consumer products, such as automobiles.
