1、附录附录1Failure Analysis，Dimensional Determination And Analysis，Applications Of CamsINTRODUCTIONIt is absolutely essential that a design engineer know how and why parts fail so that reliable machines that require minimum maintenance can be designedSometimes a failure can be serious，such as when a tire
2、blows out on an automobile traveling at high speedOn the other hand，a failure may be no more than a nuisanceAn example is the loosening of the radiator hose in an automobile cooling systemThe consequence of this latter failure is usually the loss of some radiator coolant，a condition that is readily
3、detected and correctedThe type of load a part absorbs is just as significant as the magnitudeGenerally speaking，dynamic loads with direction reversals cause greater difficulty than static loads，and therefore，fatigue strength must be consideredAnother concern is whether the material is ductile or bri

6、mes failure may be due to abnormal friction or vibration between two mating partsFailure also may be due to a phenomenon called creep，which is the plastic flow of a material under load at elevated temperaturesIn addition，the actual shape of a part may be responsible for failureFor example，stress con
7、centrations due to sudden changes in contour must be taken into accountEvaluation of stress considerations is especially important when there are dynamic loads with direction reversals and the material is not very ductileIn general，the design engineer must consider all possible modes of failure，whic

10、into almost any conceivable output motion that is desiredSome of the common applications of cams areCamshaft and distributor shaft of automotive engine Production machine toolsAutomatic record playersPrinting machinesAutomatic washing machinesAutomatic dishwashersThe contour of high-speed cams (cam
11、speed in excess of 1000 rpm) must be determined mathematicallyHowever，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 layoutIn general，the greater the cam speed and output load，the greater must be the precision
12、 with which the cam contour is machinedDESIGN PROPERTIES OF MATERIALSThe following design properties of materials are defined as they relate to the tensile testFigure 2.7Static Strength The strength of a part is the maximum stress that the part can sustain without losing its ability to perform its r
13、equired functionThus 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 materialStiffness Stiffness is the deformation-resisting property of a materialThe slope of the modulus l
