Shape factors and material indices have been recently developed for the optimal design of load-bearing beams and shafts. These shape factors and material indices are generally only applicable where there are no dimensional constraints. However, dimensional constraints are very common in mechanical design because of the integrated nature of modern machinery and equipment. This paper extends the methodology of a previous paper by Ashby by developing the shape factors and material indices for the case of constrained height in beams. The paper also shows that dimensional constraints can have a very significant effect on the optimal selection of material and shape.

Shape factors have been recently developed for the optimal design of load-bearing beams. The shape factors so far developed assume that the loading is ideally aligned, i.e. that the load is exactly perpendicular to a section of beam. However, misalignment of loads is very common in real industrial applications. This paper extends the methodology of shape factors by developing shape factors for misaligned loads. The paper shows that misalignment as small as 1 or 2° can cause significant reductions in efficiency of sections, especially for ‘optimal’ sections such as I-beams. In addition, it is essential for designers to identify the extent of load misalignment, as the most efficient sections for a small misalignment of load can be very different to the most efficient sections for an aligned load.

The article formulates a new concept for design of the steel angle headframes of the new system for state-of-the art mines. One of the important structural elements of the steel headframe is a rig, installed above mouth of the vertical shaft and designed for equipment and passage of mine conveyances in shaft. A traditional frame rig of rectangular section is the most cumbersome and heavy-weight part of the headframe due its load-bearing. The proposed by the author headframe of multifunctional purpose, that includes a non-load bearing rig of circular cross-section, will allow reducing load on mine mouth and forgoing the sub-frame that greatly simplifies the task of finding an optimal design solution for the structure. There is an analysis of the most significant factors that significantly affect formation of the main design parameters of the sheave wheels and the rig of the examined headframe. The proposed idea of the independently operating structural units, one of which is a circular rig, significantly reduces a number of controlled variables, with which a designer can vary designing a headframe.
