This Machine Design With Fea eBook from 3D-LABS is written for engineers and students who want a clear, practical reference they can apply immediately.
Machine Design with FEA — From Hand Calculation to ANSYS covers the complete machine element design workflow — shaft Soderberg/Goodman, bearing ISO 281 L10, gear AGMA 2001 tooth strength, key and coupling design — with each hand calculation verified by ANSYS Workbench FEA to show agreement and identify when FEA adds value.
What standards does this book reference?
AGMA 2001-D04 / ISO 6336:2019 (gear tooth strength), ISO 281:2007 (bearing life calculation), ASME B106.1M (shaft design by fatigue criterion), and IS 2693:1964 (keys and keyways for Indian machine design practice).
What machine element calculations are verified by FEA?
Shaft combined loading von Mises equivalent stress: sigma-eq = sqrt(sigma-bending^2 + 3 x tau-torsion^2). Soderberg fatigue criterion: sigma-a/Se + sigma-m/Sy <= 1/N (N = 2 typical). Bearing L10 life: L10h = (C/P)^p x 10^6 / (60 x n) hours (p = 3 ball, p = 10/3 roller). Each ANSYS model uses the same loads and constraints; FEA results are within 3-8% of hand calculation for well-meshed models.
What ISO 281 bearing life formula is covered?
ISO 281:2007 basic rating life: L10 = (C/P)^p, where C is basic dynamic load rating (N from bearing catalog — e.g. 6210 bearing: C = 35.1 kN, Co = 21.6 kN), P is equivalent dynamic bearing load (N), p = 3 for ball bearings and p = 10/3 for roller bearings. Life in hours: L10h = L10 x 10^6 / (60 x n). Modified rating life: Lnm = a1 x a-ISO x L10, where a-ISO accounts for lubrication condition (kappa ratio) and contamination factor ec.
