I-Beam Principle

GATEWAYGATEWAY
Supplementary Shape PrincipleA supplementary shape often can be added to provide a load path leading to a strong stress pattern

GATEWAYGATEWAY
Anti-Buckling Principle As sections become thin, buckling becomes
possible
Buckling requires: Compressive load Thin or long section
Sources of Buckling Geometry change Material change
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversitySl. #13

Examples of Buckling

Buckling Stiffeners
Flange stiffeners
Flat plate stiffeners
Wing stiffeners
Buckling stiffeners add a small amount of material to stiffen (not necessarily strengthen) structure

Direct-Path Principle
• Put material in a straight-line path between loads and supports
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversitySl. #19
GATEWAYGATEWAY
Force-Flow Principle
Internal forces flow like fluids in laminar flow

Metal Removal Principle
After selecting a strong stress pattern After visualizing the flow of forces Remove all material where stresses are
low Consider economics, function, and
manufacturing processes

Redundancy Avoidance Principle
(a) (b)
F F
Identify optimum load paths, and do not put in structure at other places unless absolutely necessary
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversitySl. #28
GATEWAYGATEWAY
Load Leverage Principle
When moments or torques must be carried, regions of force application should be separated as much as possible
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversitySl. #29
GATEWAYGATEWAY
Load Leverage Example
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversitySl. #30
GATEWAYGATEWAY
Limitations on Leverage
1. Weight can increase due to extra length, and supplementary shapes needed to achieve leverage
2. Sections can become so thin that buckling occurs3. Space may be too large to achieve good leverage4. Manufacturing problems caused by the
introduction of leverage may make the part too expensive
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversitySl. #31
GATEWAYGATEWAY
Shape/stiffness MergingWhen a large force must be accommodated and widely
distributed to a general area, use shape merging
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversitySl. #32
GATEWAYGATEWAY
General Regions Involved in Shape Merging1. Compact region where there is a highly concentrated load2. Merge region3. Thin walled region into which the load must be transferred
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversitySl. #33
GATEWAYGATEWAY
Types of Merging Regions Tapered Sections (thickness or diameter changes with
length)
• Fan Sections (width changes with length)
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversitySl. #34
GATEWAYGATEWAY
Types of Merging Regions (cont’d) Ribs (height and possibly thickness changes
with length)
• Branching Ribs
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversitySl. #35
GATEWAYGATEWAY
Roughly Uniform Size Principle Adjoining portions of a part should be roughly the same
size
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversitySl. #36
GATEWAYGATEWAY
Symmetry Principle Unless there is a reason to the contrary,
make a part symmetric
Makes parts easy to machine on a lathe
Makes assembly easier
Reduces inventory needs

Summary
• Many different principles for Form Synthesis
• Use of each principle depends on the application and the driving factors
• Engineers determine the appropriate principle for the “best” design
