The position of the arrow line with respect to the weld is of no special significance. The side of the joint on which
the arrow line is drawn is called “arrow side”. The side of the joint remote to the arrow line is called “other side”. The
reference line has significance on the weld side. If the weld symbol is placed BELOW the reference line, the welding
should be done in the “ARROW SIDE”. If the weld symbol is placed ABOVE the reference line, the welding should
be done in the “OTHER SIDE”. If the weld symbol is placed both ABOVE and BELOW the reference line, the welding
should be done in both the “ARROW and OTHER SIDES”.
The basic symbols recommended by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for specifies the type of weld are shown in
the fig.

Standard code IS:2155-1962 and for diameters between 12 and 48 mm are specified in the Indian Standard code
IS:1929-1961. The rivet heads to be used for boiler work are specified in the Indian Standard code IS: 1928-1961.
The rivet heads to be used for ship building are specified in the Indian Standard code IS: 4732-
1968.
Screw Threads
A screw thread is a functional element used on bolt, stud, set screw, nut or any other threaded piece or
component. Screw thread is a helical groove on a cylinder surface (outer side or inner side). Its function is to transform
the input motion of rotation into output motion of translation.
If a cylindrical rod is rotated at a constant speed simultaneously if a pointed tool touching the rod moving parallel to
the axis of the rod at constant speed, the cut made by tool on the rod will be continuous and of helical form. The
helical groove is called “thread” and the threaded rod is called a “screw”.
Threads are cut using a lathe. Small size thread is often cut by means of a tool called die. A small size hole is
threaded by means of a tool called a tap.
The principal uses of threads are,
1. for fastening
2. for adjusting
3. for transmitting power
1. Crest: It is the peak edge of a screw thread that connects the adjacent flanks at the top.
2. Root: It is the bottom edge of the thread that connects the adjacent flanks at the bottom.
3. Flank or side: It is the straight portion of the surface, on either side of the screw thread.
4. Angle of the thread: It is the angle included between the sides of two adjacent threads measured on an axial
plane.
5. Depth of the thread: It is the distance between the crest and the root measured at Right angle to the axis. It is
equal to half the difference between the outer diameter and the core diameter.
6. Major diameter or outside diameter: It is the diameter of the imaginary coaxial cylinder, which would bind the
crests of an external or internal thread.
7. Minor or core or root diameter: It is the diameter of the imaginary coaxial cylinder; this would bind the roots of an
external thread or of an internal thread.
8. Pitch diameter: It is the diameter of the imaginary coaxial cylinder that can be passed so as to cut the thread, that
the width of the cut thread will be equal to the Width of the groove.
9. Pitch: It is the axial distance between a point on one thread and the corresponding Point on the next thread. It may
be indicated as the distance from crest or from root of two adjacent threads.
10. Lead: It is the distance measured parallel to the axis from a point on a thread to the corresponding point on the
same thread for one complete revolution. In other words, it is axial distance a screw advances in one revolution.
11. External thread: It is the thread on the outside surface of a member such as bolt, studs or screw.
12. Internal thread: It is the thread on the inside surface of a member such as nut or threaded hole.
13. Right hand thread: Right hand thread if turned clockwise direction advances into a threaded hole. It abbreviated
as RH.
14. Left hand thread: Left hand thread if turned anticlockwise direction advances into a threaded hole. It abbreviated
as LH.
V- THREADS
British standard whit worth thread (BSW)
This thread was introduced by Sir Joseph whit worth, and was standardized as British standard thread. It has a
thread angle of 55 degree and is rounded equally at crest and roots.
British Association threads (B.A Threads)
The angle between flanks is 47.5 degree. These threads are to supplement BSW and have fine pitches. They are
used on screws for precision work.
SQUARE THREADS
Basic square thread
The sides of these threads are normal to the axis and parallel to each other. The depth and the thickness of the
thread are equal to half pitch. A square thread is designated by the letter SQ followed by nominal diameter pitch. For
example a square thread of nominal diameter 30mm and pitch 6mm is designated as SQ 30×6.
Acme Thread
It is a modified form of square thread. It is easier to cut and is much stronger than square thread. It has a 290
thread angle. This inclined sides of the thread facilitate quick and early engagement and disengagement. It
is used for power screws like lead screw of lathe, jackscrews, bench vices and valve operating screws.
Buttress Thread
The profile of this thread is a combination of square and V- threads. It combines the low frictional of square and
ability to transmit power of square thread and the strength of V – thread. It is used to transmit load in uni-direction.
These threads are used in screw press, vices.
Knuckle Thread
It is also a modification of square thread. The sharp corners of square thread are rounded off. This thread is used
where heavy wear rough use is expected. The thread can be rolled or cast easily. It is used in railway carriage coupling
screws, light bulbs and sockets, bottle caps etc and also objects made of brittle materials as glass, plastic, porcelains
etc.
Keys
Keys are machine elements used to prevent relative rotational movement between a shaft and the parts mounted
on it, such as pulleys, gears, wheels, couplings, etc. for making the joint, keyways are cut on the surface of the
shaft and in the hub of the part to be mounted. After positioning the part on the shaft such that, both the keyways are
properly aligned, the key is driven from the end, resulting in a firm joint.
For mounting a part at any intermediate location on the shaft, first the key is firmly placed in the keyways of the
shaft and then the part to be mounted is slid from one end of the shaft, till it is fully engaged with the key.
Keys are classified into three types.
1. Saddle keys
I. flat saddle key
II. hollow saddle key
2. Sunk keys
I. taper sunk keys
II. parallel sunk keys
III. woodruff keys
3. Round keys
Types of keys
For nuts, hexagonal shape is preferred to the square one, as it is easy to tighten even in a limited space. This is
because, with only one-sixth of a turn, the spanner can be reintroduced in the same position. However, square nuts
are used when frequent loosening and tightening is required. The sharp corners on the head of bolts and nuts are
removed by chamfering.
Empirical portions of hexagonal and square head bolt & nut detail proportion
Fits
The relation between two mating parts is known as a fit. Depending upon the actual limits of the hole or shaft sizes,
fits may be classified as clearance fit, transition fit and interference fit.
Clearance Fit: It is a fit that gives a clearance between the two mating parts.
minimum clearance: It is the difference between the minimum size of the hole and the maximum size of the shaft in a
clearance fit.
maximum clearance: It is the difference between the maximum size of the hole and the minimum size of the shaft in
a clearance or transition fit.
The fit between the shaft and hole in Fig. is a clearance fit that permits a minimum clearance (allowance) value of
29.95 – 29.90 = + 0.05 mm and a maximum clearance of + 0.15 mm.
Transition Fit: This fit may result in either interference or a clearance, depending upon the actual values of the
tolerance of individual parts. The shaft in Fig. may be either smaller or larger than the hole and still be within the
prescribed tolerances. It results in a clearance fit, when shaft diameter is 29.95 and hole diameter is 30.05 (+ 0.10
mm) and interference fit, when shaft diameter is 30.00 and hole diameter 29.95 (– 0.05 mm).
Interference fit: If the difference between the hole and shaft sizes is negative before assembly; an interference fit is
obtained.
minimum interference: It is the magnitude of the difference (negative) between the maximum size of the hole and
the minimum size of the shaft in an interference fit before assembly.
maximum interference: It is the magnitude of the difference between the minimum size of the hole and the maximum
size of the shaft in an interference or a transition fit before assembly.
The shaft in fig. is larger than the hole, so it requires a press fit, which has an effect similar to welding of two parts.
The value of minimum interference is 30.25 – 30.30 = – 0.05 mm and maximum interference is 30.15 – 30.40 = – 0.25
mm.
Tolerance
It is impossible to make anything to an exact size, therefore it is essential to allow a definite tolerance or permissible
variation on every specified dimension.
Tolerances are specified because
Variations in properties of the material being machined introduce errors.
The production machines themselves may have some inherent inaccuracies.
It is impossible for an operator to make perfect settings. While setting up the tools and workpiece on the
machine, some errors are likely to creep in.
Form variation: It is a variation of the actual condition of a form feature (surface, line) from geometrically ideal form.
Position variation: It is a variation of the actual position of the form feature from the geometrically ideal position, with
reference to another form (datum) feature.
Geometrical tolerance: Geometrical tolerance is defined as the maximum permissible overall variation of form or
position of a feature.
Datum triangle: The datums are indicated by a leader line, terminating in a filled or an open triangle.
Datum letter: To identify a datum for reference purposes, a capital letter is enclosed in a frame, connected to the
datum triangle.
Presentations
There are a number of ready-made presentations symbols available in CADD that can be used to enhance the look
of drawings. In addition to prepare impressive presentations on paper, we can use CADD to make an on-screen
presentations. Advanced CADD programs ever allow us to create an animated image .
Flexibility in editing
CADD allows us to work with great accuracy. If we need to create highly accuracy geometric shapes, CADD is the
answer. It can help avoid time-consuming mathematical calculations.
Unit and accuracy level
We can work with as high precession as 1/1000 th of an inch.
Storage and access of drawing
A computer electronic filing system has the following advantages over the traditional filing system.
About AutoCAD
AutoCAD is a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program used by just about every Engineering and Design office in
the world. Although there are alternative CAD packages, AutoCAD is by far the most widely used system.
Autodesk's AutoCAD is the industry leader in CAD packages. Used by Civil Engineers, Architects, Mechanical and
Electrical Engineers, Aeronautical Engineers plus many other disciplines.
There have been several versions of AutoCAD over the years, with each new version introducing new and more
powerful features than its predecessor. The latest version of AutoCAD (at the time of writing) is AutoCAD 2011. Any
courses, whether through community colleges or online universities, that are related to Engineering or Architecture
should be considered incomplete if they do not introduce students to AutoCAD.
Accurate, scale drawings can be created and published using AutoCAD powerful features. 3D 'models' can also be
created giving the designer absolute control over the design from start to finish. The computerized model can be
viewed through a 360º angle, and even 'rendered' with a texture on screen to give an idea of the finished product.
Co-ordinate system
AutoCAD uses points to determine where an object is located. There is an origin where it begins counting from. This
point is (0,0). Every object is located in relation to the origin. If we were to draw a line straight out to the right from
the origin, this would be considered the positive X-axis. If we were to draw a line straight up, this would be the positive
Y-axis. The picture above shows a point located at (9, 6). This means that the point is 9 units over in the X- axis and
6 units up in the Y-axis. When we are working with points, X always comes first. The other point shown is (-10,-4).
This means that the point is 10 units in the negative X-axis (left) and 4 units in the negative Y-axis (down).
A line has two points, a start point and an end point. AutoCAD works with the points to display the line on the
screen. Most of the time we will not have an indication of where the origin is. We may need to draw a line from the
endpoint of an existing line. To do this we use relative points. These work the same way, but we have to add the @
symbol (shift+2) to tell AutoCAD that this next point is relative from the last point entered. i.e.
1. ABSOLUTE POINTS are exact points on the drawing space.
2. RELATIVE POINTS are relative to an OBJECT on the drawing space
Angular Measurement
AutoCAD measures angles in a particular way also.
When drawing lines at an angle, we have to begin measuring the angle from 0 degrees, which is at the 3 o'clock
position. If we drew a line at 90 degrees, it would go straight up. The example shows a line drawn at +300 degrees
(270+30), or -60 degrees.
ABSOLUTE CO-ORDINATES - Using this method, we enter the points as they relate to the origin of the WCS. To
enter a point just enters in the exact point as X, Y.
RELATIVE CO-ORDINATES - This allows us to enter points in relation to the first point we have entered. After we've
entered one point, the next would be entered as @X, Y. This means that AutoCAD will draw a line from the first point
to another point X units over and Y units up relative to the previous point.
POLAR CO-ORDINATES - We would use this system if we know that we want to draw a line a certain distance at a
particular angle. We would enter this as @D<A. In this case, D is the distance and A is the angle. Example:
@10<90 will draw a line 10 units straight up from the first point.
The three ways of entering co-ordinates shown above are the ONLY way AutoCAD accepts input. First decide
which style we need to use, and then enter as shown. Remember that X is always before Y (alphabetical). Don't
forget the '@' symbol when we are entering relative points.
AutoCAD Basics
Application Button - This button displays commands for printing, saving, drawing utilities and other non-drawing tool.
Quick Access Toolbar - This is for quick access to common commands like New, Open, Save, Plot
Filename - The name of the current file we are working on.
Search Bar - Search for text in were drawing or search the help files.
Ribbon - The Ribbon has most of the commands/tools that we will use while we are working.
Tabs - A series of Tabs make up the Ribbon (Home, Insert, Manage, etc) and organize the Tools into common
groups.
Panels - Contain a group of tools
Tools - These are the icon that starts the commands we use to draw, modify, etc.
Tool Tip - If we however mouse over a tool, a tool tip will appear to give us more information. Hold it longer for
more info.
Drawing Space - These is where we draw were designs.
Command line - When we type a command, we will see it here. AutoCAD uses this space to 'prompt' us for
information. It will give us a lot of information and tell us where we are in the command.
Status bar - This allows seeing and changing different modes of drawing such as Ortho, Osnaps, Grid, Otrack, etc.
We can right click this area to toggle between icons and text for this area.

Introduction:
Pro-E is a high end cad package. Pro-E is a parametric solid model. It was developed by parametric technology
corporation. It is suite of programs that are used in design analysis and manufacturing of a virtually unlimited range
of products.
Feature based:
Pro-E is a feature based solid modeling tool. It builds the model using individual building blocks one at a time.
Designers can think at a high level and leave all the low level geometry details, for Pro-E to figure out.
Associative:
We can use Pro-E to document model by creating parts, assemblies and drawing all these functions are really
associative.
Parametric:
Parametric means that the physical shape of the part is driven by the values assigned to the attributes of its
features.
Solid modeling:
Solid modeling means that the computer model we create is able to contain all the information that a real solid
object would have the material.
Parent - child Relationship:
An important aspect to feature based modeling in Pro-E is the concept of modeling in pro-E parent - child
relationship.
Datum plane:
A datum plane representation of an infinite large power surface area of a user defined orientation and location
that are continuously adjusted automatically to be slightly larger than the object.
Plane-Insert-Datum-Plane:
Default method creates three mutually perpendicular datum planes intersecting at the origin at the default
coordinate system. These three planes represents XY, YZ & ZX planes are named as follows:
DTM1 → represents YZ plane
DTM2 → represents ZX plane
DTM3 → represents XY plane
Datum axis:
It can be used as a reference for features creation. It is particularly useful for making datum planes placing items
concentrically and creating radial patterns.
Part modeling:
Pro-E is a feature based modeling software. Features in Pro-E are of two kinds. Place features extrude,
revolve, sweep and blend are examples of sketched features.
Sketches features:
Protrusion features:
Protrusion is the method of adding a solid material of the method. Pro-E provides the following basic
methods of adding material to a method.
Extrude: creates a solid feature by extruding a section named to the section.
Revolve: creates a solid surface by revolving a section about an axis.
Sweep: creates a solid feature by sweeping a section about a path.
Blend: creates a solid feature by blending various cross sections at various levels.
Extrusion:
Features → create → solid → protrusion → extrude
Attribute types:
One side: Adds the material in one side of the cross sectiononly.
Both sides: Adds the material on both sides of the cross section.
Defining sketching plane: We have to specify the sketch plane to draw the cross section.
Direction of feature creation:
Once the direction of extrusion is defined Pro-E will promote for orienting the sketch plane. Orientation plane
can lie horizontally or vertically in the section view sketch plane once the orientation plane is defined, tools
needed for sketching the cross section will be provided by Pro-E.
Sketch reference:
Pro-E automatically selects two mutually perpendicular lines which are normal to the sketching plane as
horizontal and vertical reference for dimensioning and constraining the sketch.
Extrusion depth:
Blind: Enter a dimension for the feature depth. We can then control the feature depth by changing the depth
dimension
Through next: Terminate the features at the next part surface
Through all: The new surface intersects all surfaces
Rib: Feature → create → solid → rib
A rib is a special type of protrusion designed to create a thin wall or web to support two surface. All straight
holes are created with constant diameter. A hole from feature always removes material from our model.
Round:
Features → create → solid → round
It creates smooth transition with circular or profile between adjacent surface. An edge round smoothness the
hard edges between adjacent surface.
Sweep:
Feature → create → solid → protrusion → sweep
A sweep is creating by defining two sections. The section is the trajectory and the second cross section.
Sweep can be used on for protrusion cut and slots.
Blend:
Feature → create → solid → protrusion → blend
Blending is the method of defining a volume by connecting series of at least two planner sections together, at
their edges with transitional surface.
Assembly creation:
Assembly mode in Pro-E enable us to place component parts and use assemblies together to form assemblies
as well as to design parts based on how they should fit together.
Mate:
Selected surface point in opposite direction and become coplanar.
Mate offset:
Selected surface point in opposite direction and are offset by specific value.
Align:
Selected surface point in opposite direction and become coplanar axis may be co-axial with the align command.
Align offset:
Selected surface point in opposite direction and are offset by a specific value which is to be modified to
provide design flexibility.
Orient:
Make the two surface of revolution co-axial.

Software : Pro-E Wildfire 4.0
Description:
In the cylinder of an engine, the energy bound up in the fuel is rapidly converted into heat and pressure during
the combustion cycle. The heat and pressure values increase greatly within a very short period of time. The piston,
as the moving part of the combustion chamber, has the task of converting this released energy into mechanical work.
The basic structure of the piston is a hollow cylinder, closed on one side, with the segments piston crown with ring
belt, pin boss, and skirt. The piston crown transfers the gas forces resulting from the combustion of the fuel-air mixture
via the pin boss, the piston pin, and the connecting rod, to the crankshaft.
Pistons are usually equipped with piston rings. These are circular metal rings that fit into grooves in the piston
walls and assure a snug fit of the piston inside the cylinder. They help provide a seal to prevent leakage of
compressed gases around the piston and to prevent lubricating oil from entering the combustion chamber.

LS-DYNA is a highly advanced general purpose nonlinear finite element program that is capable of simulating
complex real world problems. The distributed and shared memory solver provides very short turnaround times on
desktop computers and clusters operated using Linux, Windows, and UNIX. With LS-DYNA, Livermore Software
Technology Corporation (LSTC) aims to provide methods to seamlessly solve problems requiring
Multi-Physics Multi-Processing
Multiple Stages Multi-Scale
LS-DYNA is suitable to investigate phenomena involving large deformations, sophisticated material models and
complex contact conditions for structural dynamics problems. LS-DYNA allows switching between explicit and
different implicit time stepping schemes. Disparate disciplines, such as coupled thermal analyses, Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD), fluid-structure interaction, Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), Element Free Galerkin (EFG),
Corpuscular Method (CPM), and the Boundary Element Method (BEM) can be combined with structural dynamics.
By determining product characteristics before a prototype is built, for many products LS-DYNA is the key to
reducing time to market. Carrying out investigations with the aid of LS-DYNA supports the design of robust products
with superior performance. F or pre- and post -processing, LS-DYNA comes with the LS-PrePost tool. LS-PrePost
can be utilized to generate inputs and visualize numerical results. The software package LS-OPT for optimization and
robust design is also supplied with LS-D YNA. With the option of multidisciplinary simulations, LS-D YNA significantly
increases potentials for developing innovative products. These advantages contribute towards reducing development
costs. All above-mentioned features and software packages are supplied as a single unit. LS-DYNA is not split for
special applications, and the licensing scheme enables the different disciplines to be combined without limitations.
LS-DYNA has been developed in California for more than 20 years. It is the most frequently -used code for man y
complex applications in structural nonlinear dynamics. Its usage is growing rapidly due to LS-DYNA’s flexibility,
enabling it to be applied to new disciplines. The new developments are driven in co-operation with leading
universities from all over the world and new requirements requested by the vast customer base.
Analysis capabilities:
Different applications utilize one or a combination of the features listed below:
1. Nonlinear dynamics
enables process parameters, forming sequences and optimal tool geometries to be determined. As a result, the part
can be manufactured with a more accurate shape and better surface quality using fewer forming steps, thus
lowering the cost per part.
Another target could be to design a hot forming process. The program allows the user to determine metal phase
transformations encountered during cooling. Heating due to heat flow and radiation before, during, and after the
forming process can all be analyzed. Thus, an analysis of the entire process can be carried out, from heating through
forming right up to cooling, and only one model is required to predict the time needed for heating and cooling, the
press requirements and part performance.
In addition to sheet metal forming, LS-DYNA is also capable of effectively analyzing other forming applications
such as tube forming, cutting, extruding, impulse forming, forging, rolling, welding, hemming, flanging,
electromagnetic forming and bending. Different disciplines are coupled for many of these applications. Features such
as re-meshing, meshless methods, switching time-stepping schemes, ALE, thermal capacities, rigid body dynamics,
among others, can be used simultaneously.
Many specific sheet metal stamping features come with LS-DYNA and the pre- and post-processing tool LS-
Repost, which is included in the software package. The LS-DYNA solver has also been integrated into various forming
simulation tools. These tools are provided by third party companies which supply highly effective support for specific
forming applications and localization. A one step solver is currently under preparation and will soon be available in the
standard LS-DYNA version.
2. LS-DYNA – a multi-purpose program for automotive suppliers:
LS-DYNA is essential for the virtual testing of various components in vehicles. The explicit and implicit time stepping
schemes are capable of simulating static and dynamic tests using the same model. Component manufacturing
processes are investigated by LS-D YNA using the metal forming and thermal capabilities. Hence, only one model is
required to consider different problems. Ultimately, this result in lower costs for training and model creation
compared to other solutions.
One example of the successful application of LS-DYNA is seat design. Seat manufacturers are able to consider
static and dynamic load cases for seat frames as well as analyze the stability of belt anchor age points. LS-DYNA
enables them to determine maximal locking mechanism loads or failure loads of seat tracks. LS-DYNA allows to
investigate the influence of the seat on an occupant in a crash as well as the stamping process of a gear wheel. To
enhance design and find a robust solution, this user group also often utilizes LS-OPT, a state-of-the-art optimization
tool.
Other examples of similar beneficial applications of LS-DYNA are the design and manufacture of crash boxes,
bumpers, front ends, dashboards, trimmings, and tires.
Another example is the high-speed impact on objects, like a turbine blade separating from a turbine that may not
damage the embankment dam. LS-DYNA allows the user to estimate the damage caused by a turbine blade hitting
the turbine housing. As such types of simulation require the exact prediction of the post -failing phase, extensive
preliminary material testing is needed. However, due to the high potential of severe damage, this effort is well spent.
