why parts fail so that reliable machines that 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 speed．On the other hand，a failure may be no more than a nuisance．An example is the loosening of the radiator hose in an automobile cooling system．The consequence of this latter failure is usually the loss of some radiator coolant，a condition that is readily detected and corrected．The type of load a part absorbs is just as significant as the magnitude．Generally speaking，dynamic loads with direction reversals cause greater difficulty than static loads，and therefore，fatigue strength must be considered．Another concern is whether the material is ductile or brittle．For example，brittle materials are considered to be unacceptable where fatigue is involved．Many people mistakingly interpret the word failure to mean the actual breakage of a part．However，a design engineer must consider a broader understanding of what appreciable deformation occurs．A ductile material，however will deform a large amount prior to rupture．Excessive deformation，without fracture，may cause a machine to fail because the deformed part interferes with a moving second part．Therefore，a part fails(even if it has not physically broken)whenever it no longer fulfills its required function．Sometimes failure may be due to abnormal friction or vibration between two mating parts．Failure also may be due to a phenomenon called creep，which is the plastic flow of a material under load at elevated temperatures．In addition，the actual shape of a part may be responsible for failure．For example，stress concentrations due to sudden changes in contour must be taken into account．Evaluation of stress considerations is especially important when there are dynamic loads with direction reversals and the material is not very ductile．In general，the design engineer must consider all possible modes of failure，which include the following．——Stress——Deformation——Wear——Corrosion——Vibration——Environmental damage——Loosening of fastening devicesThe part sizes and shapes selected also must take into account many dimensional factors that produce external load effects，such as geometric discontinuities，residual stresses due to forming of desired contours，and the application of interference fit joints．Cams are among the most versatile mechanisms available．A cam is a simple two-member device． The input member is the cam itself，while the output member is called the 2follower．Through the use of cams，a simple input motion can be modified into almost any conceivable output motion that is desired．Some of the common applications of cams are——Camshaft and distributor shaft of automotive engine——Production machine tools——Automatic record players——Printing machines——Automatic washing machines——Automatic dishwashersThe contour of high-speed cams (cam speed in excess of 1000 rpm) must be determined mathematically．However，the vast majority of cams operate at low speeds(less than 500 rpm) or medium-speed cams can be determined graphically using a large-scale layout．In general，the greater the cam speed and output load，the greater must be the precision with which the cam contour is machined．DESIGN PROPERTIES OF MATERIALSThe following design properties of materials are defined as they relate to the tensile test．Figure 2.7Static Strength． The strength of a part is the maximum stress that the part can sustain without losing its ability to perform its required function．Thus the static strength may be considered to be approximately equal to the proportional limit，since no plastic deformation takes place and no damage theoretically is done to the material．Stiffness． Stiffness is the deformation-resisting property of a material．The slope of the modulus line and，hence，the modulus of elasticity are measures of the stiffness of a material．Resilience． Resilience is the property of a material that permits it to absorb energy without permanent deformation．The amount of energy absorbed is represented by the area underneath the stress-strain diagram within the elastic region．Toughness． Resilience and toughness are similar properties．However，toughness is the ability to absorb energy without rupture．Thus toughness is represented by the total area underneath the stress-strain diagram， as depicted in Figure 2．8b．Obviously，the toughness and resilience of brittle materials are very low and are approximately equal．Brittleness． A brittle material is one that ruptures before any appreciable plastic deformation takes place．Brittle materials are generally considered undesirable for machine components because they are unable to yield locally at locations of high stress because of geometric stress raisers such as shoulders，holes，notches，or keyways．Ductility． A ductility material exhibits a large amount of plastic deformation prior to rupture．Ductility is measured by the percent of area and percent elongation of a part loaded to rupture．A 5%elongation at rupture is considered to be the dividing line between ductile and 3brittle materials．Malleability． Malleability is essentially a measure of the compressive ductility of a material and，as such，is an important characteristic of metals that are to be rolled into sheets．Figure 2.8Hardness． The hardness of a material is its ability to resist indentation or scratching．Generally speaking，the harder a material，the more brittle it is and，hence，the less resilient．Also ，the ultimate strength of a material is roughly proportional to its hardness．Machinability． Machinability is a measure of the relative ease with which a material can be machined．In general，the harder the material，the more difficult it is to machine．COMPRESSION AND SHEAR STATIC STRENGTHIn addition to the tensile tests，there are other types of static load testing that provide valuable information．Compression Testing． Most ductile materials have approximately the same properties in compression as in tension．The ultimate strength，however，can not be evaluated for compression．As a ductile specimen flows plastically in compression，the material bulges out，but there is no physical rupture as is the case in tension．Therefore，a ductile material fails in compression as a result of deformation，not stress．Temperature can affect the mechanical properties of metals．Increases in temperature may cause a metal to expand and creep and may reduce its yield strength and its modulus of elasticity．If most metals are not allowed to expand or contract with a change in temperature，then stresses are set up that may be added to the stresses from the load．This phenomenon is useful in assembling parts by means of interference fits．A hub or ring has an inside diameter slightly smaller than the mating shaft or post．The hub is then heated so that it expands enough to slip over the shaft．When it cools，it exerts a pressure on the shaft resulting in a strong frictional force that prevents loosening．
