Some of the terms used in mechanics are defined below. Force Our earliest ideas concerning forces arose because of our desire to push, lift, or pull various objects. So force is the action of one body on another. Our intuitive concept of force includes such ideas as place of application , direction, and magnitude, and these are called the characteristics of a force.

Couplings, Clutches, Shafts and Springs 联轴器、离合器、轴和弹簧Coupling (联轴器)A coupling is a device for connecting the ends of adjacent shafts. In machine construction, couplings are used to effect (实现) a semi-permanent (半永久性的) connection between adjacent rotating shafts. The connection is permanent in the sense that it is not meant to be broken (脱开) during the useful life of the machine, but it can be broken and restored in an emergency or when worn parts (磨损件) are replaced.There are several types of shaft couplings, their characteristics depend on the purpose for which they are used. If an exceptionally long shaft is required for a line shaft (主传动轴)in a manufacturing plant or a propeller shaft on a ship, it is made in sections (分段) that are coupled together with rigid couplings(刚性联轴器).In connecting shafts belonging to separate devices (such as an electric motor and a gearbox 齿轮箱、变速箱), precise aligning (对中、同心、同轴) of the shafts is difficult and a flexible coupling (弹性联轴器)is used. This coupling connects the shafts in such a way as to minimize the harmful effects of shaft misalignment (偏心). Flexible couplings also permit the shafts to deflect under their separate systems of loads and to move freely (float 浮动) in the axial direction (轴向) without interfering with one another. Flexible couplings can also serve to (用来) reduce the intensity (强度) of shock loads (冲击负荷) and vibrations transmitted from one shaft to another.Clutch 离合器A clutch is a device for quickly and easily connecting or disconnecting a rotatable shaft and a rotating coaxial (同心的) shaft. Clutches are usually placed between the input shaft to a machine and the output shaft from the driving motor and provide a convenient means for starting and stopping the machine and permitting the driver motor or engine to be started in an unload state (无负载的状态).The rotor (转子) (rotating member) in an electric motor has rotational inertia (转动惯量), and a torque is required to bring it up to speed (使其达到一定速度) when the motor is started. If the motor shaft is rigidly connected to a load with a large rotational inertia, and the motor is started suddenly by closing a switch, the motor may not have sufficient torque capacity to bring the motor shaft up to speed before the windings in the motor (电机中的线圈)are burned out(烧毁) by the excessive current demands (过流). A clutch between the motor and the load shafts will restrict (将…限制在)the starting torque on the motor to that required to accelerate the rotor and parts of the clutch only.On some machine tools it is convenient to let the driving motor run continuously and to start and stop the machine by operating a clutch. Other machine tools receive (获得) their power from belts (皮带) driven by pulleys (皮带轮) on intermediate shafts (中间轴) that are themselves driven by belts from long lineshafts that serve a group of machines.Shaft 轴A shaft is a rotating or stationary member, usually of (具有)circular cross section(截面), having mounted upon it such elements as gears, pulleys, flywheels(飞轮), cranks(曲轴), and other power-transmission(动力传递) elements. Shafts may be subjected to(承受) bending(弯曲), tension(扭曲),compression(压缩), or torsional loads(拉伸), acting singly or in combination with one another. When they are combined, one may expect to find both static and fatigue strength(疲劳强度) to be important design considerations, since a single shaft may be subjected to static stresses(静态应力), completely reversed stresses, and repeated stresses, all acting at the same time. The word “shaft” covers numerous variations, such as axles(短轴) and spindles. An axle is a shaft, either stationary or rotating, not subjected to a torsion load. A short rotating shaft is often called a spindle.Spring弹簧A spring is a load-sensitive, energy-storing(蓄能的) device, the chief characteristics of which are an ability to tolerate(承受) large deflections(变形) without failure and to recover(恢复) its initial size and shape when loads are removed(去掉负荷). Although most springs are mechanical and derive their effectiveness from the flexibility inherent in metallic elements(利用金属部件本身所固有的弹性), hydraulic springs and air springs are also obtainable.Springs are used for a variety of purposes, such as supplying the motive power(原动力) in clocks and watches, cushioning transport vehicles, measuring weights, restraining(约束) machine elements, mitigating(减轻) the transmission of periodic disturbing forces from unbalanced rotating machines to the supporting structure, and providing shock protection for delicate(精密的) instruments during shipment.。

Metal-Cutting ProcessMetal-cutting processes are extensively used in the manufacturing industry.They are characterized by the fact that the size of the original workpiece is sufficiently large that the final geometry can be circumscribed by it, and that the unwanted material is removed as chips, particles, and so on. The chips are a necessary means to obtain the desired tolerances, and surfaces. The amount of scrap may vary from a few percent to 70%--80% of the volume of the original work material.Owing to the rather poor material utilization of the metal-cutting processes, the anticipated scarcity of materials and energy, and increasing costs, the development in the last decade has been directed toward an increasing application of metal-forming processes. However, die costs and the capital cost of machines remain rather high; consequently, metal-cutting processes are, in many cases, the most economical, in spite of the high material waste, which only has value as scrap. Therefore, it must be expected that the material removal processes will for the next few years maintain their important position in manufacturing. Furthermore, the development of automated production systems has progressed more rapidly for metal-cutting processes than for metal-forming processes.In metal-cutting processes, the imprinting of information is carried out by a rigid medium of transfer, which is moved relative to the workpiece, and the mechanical energy is supplied through the tool. The final geometry is thus determined from the geometry of the tool and the pattern of motions of the tool and the workpiece. The basic process is mechanical: actually, a shearing action combined with fracture.As mentioned previously, the unwanted material in metal-cutting processes is removed by a rigid cutting tool, so that the desired geometry, tolerances, and surface finish are obtained. Examples of processes in this group are turning, drilling, reaming, milling, shaping, planning, broaching, grinding, honing, and lapping.Most of the cutting or machining processes are based on a two-dimensional surface creation, which means that two relative motions are necessary between the cutting tool and the work material. These motions are defined as the primary motion, which h mainly determines the cutting speed, and the feed motion, which provides the cutting zone with new material.In turning the primary motion is provided by the rotation of the workpiece, and in planning it is provided by the translation of the table; in turning the feed motion is a continuous translation of the tool, and in planning it is an intermittent translation of the tool.《机械工程专业英语》哈尔滨工业大学出版社施平金属切削加工金属切削加工在制造业中等到了广泛的应用。

原文原文标题：Introduction to Mechanical Engineering原文内容：Mechanical engineering is a broad field that encompasses various aspects of engineering. It deals with the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. Mechanical engineers are responsible for creating and improving the machines and systems that enable different industries to function efficiently.The field of mechanical engineering has a long history, dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Egyptians. However, it wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century that mechanical engineering became a distinct discipline. This period saw the rise of factories and the need for efficient machines to drive industrial processes.Modern mechanical engineers work on a wide range of projects, from designing and constructing buildings to developing advanced robotics and aerospace systems. They utilize their knowledge of physics, mathematics, and materials science to analyze and solve complex engineering problems.翻译翻译标题：机械工程导论机械工程是一个包含各个工程学科的广泛领域。

机械专业英语英译汉(3)Automatic Screw MachinesScrew machines are similar in construction to turret lathes, except that their heads are designed to hold and feed long bars of stock. Otherwise, there is little difference between them. Both are designed for multiple tooling, and both have adaptations for identical work. Originally, the turret lathe was designed as a chucking lathe for machining small castings, forgings, and irregularly shaped workpieces.The first screw machines were designed to feed bar stock and wire used in making small screw parts. Today, however, the turret lathe is frequently used with a collet attachment, and the automatic screw machine can be equipped with a chuck to hold castings.The single-spindle automatic screw machine, as its name implies, machines work on only one bar of stock at a time. A bar 16 to 20 feet long is fed through the headstock spindle and is held firmly by a collet. The machining operations are done by cutting tools mounted on the turret and on the cross slide. When the machine is in operation, the spindle and the stock are rotated at selected speeds for different operations. If required, rapid reversal of spindle direction is also possible.In the single-spindle automatic screw machine, a specific length of stock is automatically fed thr5ough the spindle to a machining area. At this point, the turret and cross slide move into position and automatically perform whatever operations are required. After the machined piece is cut off, stock is again fed into the machining area and the entire cycle is repeated.Multiple-spindle automatic screw machines have from four to eight spindles located around a spindle carrier. Long bars of stock, supported at the rear of the machine, pass through these hollow spindles and are gripped by collets. With the single spindle machine, the turret indexes around the spindle. When one tool on the turret is working, the others are not. With a multiple spindle machine, however, the spindle itself indexes. Thus the bars of stock are carried to the various end working and side working tools. Each tool operates in only one position, but all tools operate simultaneously. Therefore, four to eight workpieces can be machined at the same time. 《机械工程专业英语》电子工业出版社施平自动螺丝车床螺丝车床在结构上与转塔车床类似，不同之处是螺丝车床的主轴头部能被设计用来夹持和送进长棒料。

第一课Text:It is known that metals are very important in our life. Metals have the greatest importance for industry. All machines and other engineering[7endVi5niEriN] constructions have metal[5metl] parts; some of them consist only of metal parts.众所周知，金属在我们的生活中是非常重要的，金属对于工业而言是有巨大的重要性，所有机器和其他工程构造都有金属零部件，其中一些还只能由金属组成。

There are two large groups of metals:1) Simple metal- more or less pure chemical elements[5elimEnt]2) Alloys[5AlCi]- materials consisting of a simple metal combined with some other elements.有两大类金属：（1）纯金属——或多或少的金属元素（2）合金——组成纯金属的原料结合其他元素。

About two thirds of all elements found in the earth are metals, but not all metals may be used in industry. Those metals which are used in industry are called engineering metals. The most important engineering metalis iron[5aiEn], which in the form of alloys with carbon[5kB:bEn] and other elements, finds greater use than any other metal. Metals consisting of iron combined with some other elements are known as ferrous[5ferEs] metals; all the other metals are called nonferrous[5nCn5ferEs] metals. The most important nonferrous metal arecopper[5kCpE], aluminum[E5lju:minEm], lead[li:d], zinc[ziNk], tin[tin], but all these metals are used muchless than ferrous metals, because the ferrous metals are much cheaper.在地球上发现的所有元素中，大约三分之二是金属元素，但是并不是所有的金属都能够用于工业上。

2、应力和应变在任何工程结构中独立的部件或构件将承受来自于部件的使用状况或工作的外部环境的外力作用。

如果组件就处于平衡状态,由此而来的各种外力将会为零,但尽管如此,它们共同作用部件的载荷易于使部件变形同时在材料里面产生相应的内力。

有很多不同负载可以应用于构件的方式。

负荷根据相应时间的不同可分为:(a)静态负荷是一种在相对较短的时间内逐步达到平衡的应用载荷。

(b)持续负载是一种在很长一段时间为一个常数的载荷, 例如结构的重量。

这种类型的载荷以相同的方式作为一个静态负荷; 然而,对一些材料与温度和压力的条件下,短时间的载荷和长时间的载荷抵抗失效的能力可能是不同的。

(c)冲击载荷是一种快速载荷(一种能量载荷)。

振动通常导致一个冲击载荷, 一般平衡是不能建立的直到通过自然的阻尼力的作用使振动停止的时候。

(d)重复载荷是一种被应用和去除千万次的载荷。

(e)疲劳载荷或交变载荷是一种大小和设计随时间不断变化的载荷。

上面已经提到，作用于物体的外力与在材料里面产生的相应内力平衡。

因此,如果一个杆受到一个均匀的拉伸和压缩，也就是说, 一个力,均匀分布于一截面,那么产生的内力也均匀分布并且可以说杆是受到一个均匀的正常应力,应力被定义为应力==负载 P /压力 A,因此根据载荷的性质应力是可以压缩或拉伸的,并被度量为牛顿每平方米或它的倍数。

如果一个杆受到轴向载荷，即是应力，那么杆的长度会改变。

如果杆的初始长度L和改变量△L已知，产生的应力定义如下:应力==改变长△L /初始长 L因此应力是一个测量材料变形和无量纲的物理量 ,即它没有单位;它只是两个相同单位的物理量的比值。

一般来说,在实践中,在荷载作用下材料的延伸是非常小的, 测量的应力以*10-6的形式是方便的, 即微应变, 使用的符号也相应成为ue。

从某种意义上说，拉伸应力与应变被认为是正的。

压缩应力与应变被认为是负的。

因此负应力使长度减小。

当负载移除时，如果材料回复到初始的，无负载时的尺寸时，我们就说它是具有弹性的。

Spur GearsGears , defined as toothed members transmitting rotary motion from one shaft to another , are among the oldest devices and inventions of man . In about 2600 B.C. , the Chinese are known to have used a chariot incorporating a complex series of gears . Aristotle , in the fourth century B.C. , wrote of gears as if they were commonplace . In the fifteenth century A.D. , Leonardo da Vinci designed a multitude of devices incorporating many kinds of gears .齿轮，在最古老的设备和发明人中，被定义为通过轮齿将旋转运动从一根轴传递到另一根轴，大约在公元前2600年，中国人就知道用战车组成一系列复杂的齿轮系。

西元前四世纪，亚里士多德记述了齿轮就好像是他们司空见惯的一样。

在十五世纪，达芬奇设计了大量的包含各种各样齿轮的设备。

Among the various means of mechanical power transmission (including primarily gears , belts , and chains ) , gears are generally the most rugged and durable . Their power transmission efficiency is as high as 98 percent . On the other hand , gears are usually more costly than chains and belts . As would be expected , gear manufacturing costs increase sharply with increased precision -- as required for the combination of high speeds and heavy loads , and for low noise levels . ( Standard tolerances for various degrees of manufacturing precision have been established by the AGMA , American Gear Manufacturers Association. )在众多的机械传动方式中（包括齿轮传动，带传动，链传动），一般来说，齿轮是最经久耐用的，它的能量传递效率高达98%。

机械工程英语原文+翻译完整版第一单元Types of Materials材料的类型Materials may be grouped in several ways. Scientists often classify materials by their state: solid, liquid, or gas. They also separate them into organic (once living) and inorganic (never living) materials.材料可以按多种方法分类。

科学家常根据状态将材料分为：固体、液体或气体。

他们也把材料分为有机材料(曾经有生命的)和无机材料(从未有生命的)。

For industrial purposes, materials are divided into engineering materials or nonengineering materials. Engineering materials are those used in manufacture and become parts of products.就工业效用而言，材料被分为工程材料和非工程材料。

那些用于加工制造并成为产品组成部分的就是工程材料。

Nonengineering materials are the chemicals, fuels, lubricants, and other materials used in the manufacturing process, which do not become part of the product.非工程材料则是化学品、燃料、润滑剂以及其它用于加工制造过程但不成为产品组成部分的材料。

Gear Materials (Reading Material)齿轮材料（阅读材料）Gears are manufactured from a wide variety of materials, both metallic as well as nonmetallic.齿轮由多种种类的材料制造，包括金属材料和非金属材料。

As is the case with all materials used in design, the material chosen for a particular gear should be the cheapest available that will ensure satisfactory performance.在设计中可以使用多种材料的情况下，对于特定齿轮，应当做到选用满足使用要求下的最便宜的材料。

Before a choice is made, the designer must decide which of several criteria is most important to the problem at hand.在作出选择前，设计师必须决定在众多设计准则中哪个是当前最重要的。

If high strength is the prime consideration, a steel should usually be chosen rather than cast iron.如果高强度是第一要考虑的因素，通常就选择钢材而不选择铸铁。

If wear resistance is the most important consideration, a can be made, for problems involving noise reduction, nonmetallic. Materials perform better than metallic ones.如果耐磨性是最重要的因素，可以选用非金属材料要比金属材料更好，同时也可以解决降低噪声的问题。

第三课Overview of Engineering Mechanics工程力学概述当我们观察我们周围就会发现世界充满“物品”：机器，设备，工具；我们已经设计，建造，并使用的物品；木头，金属，陶瓷和塑料制品。

根据我们使用的经验知道，有些物品比其它物品更好；他们使用寿命较长，费用较低，噪音更低，更好看，或者更方便我们使用。

然而，在理想的情况下，每一件产品都是设计人员工具其对某些“功能要求”的理解而设计出来的，也就是说，在设计过程中，应该回答这样的问题，即“它应该具有哪种确切的功能？”在工程领域，主要功能通常是承受由于重力，惯性力，压力等作用的一些类型的载荷。

从我们居住房屋的梁到飞机机翼，都必须有一个适当的材料，尺寸，在较合理的寿命基础上具有较合理的成本并能可靠地完成其功能的产品结构连接的组合。

在实践中，工程力学方法常被应用在两个完全不同领域：(1) 任何新装置的研发都需要对其结构，尺寸，材料，载荷，耐久性，安全和成本的反复考虑。

(2) 当一个装置（意外地）发生失效后，通常需要进行研究，找出失效的原因，并找出潜在的纠正措施。

最好的设计往往都是不断排除薄弱环节的演变过程。

对许多工程师来说，上述过程既可以令人非常的陶醉又可以使人非常的愉快，更何况（有时）对我们是有利的。

对于任何实际的问题，总是缺乏足够完整和有用的信息。

我们很少准确地知道实际荷载和工作状态，因此，所做的分析工作也很少是精确的。

虽然我们的数学可以准确，全面的分析一般只能近似，而且不同技术水平的人能得到不同的解。

在工程力学研究领域，大多数问题要想得到唯一解就要充分的理想化，但应该清楚，“现实世界”远不非理想化程度，因此为了得到问题的解决方案不得不进行一些理想化假设。

我们要考虑的技术领域通常被称为“静力学”和“材料力学”，“静力学”，指的是研究作用在固定装置上的作用力，“材料力学”指的是施加到结构的力（变形，载荷限制等）的影响。

但是，事实上很多设备都不是静态的，如果与动力学有关的额外负荷被考虑了的话，那么静力学的研究方法完全适用于动态的情况，只要动态力相对静态载荷较小，系统通常被认为是静态的。
