Breaking Ice with Air cushion Vehicle - Find minimum pressure with Newton-Raphson method

AIM: To simulate the forward kinematic of a 2R robotic arm  THEORY: Forward Kinematics uses the kinematic equations to determine the positions of the end effectors. Consider a 2R robotic arm as shown in Figure 1. There are two links whose lengths are l1 and l2. In order to simulate we need the values of the joints.…

Introduction        Cyclist experiences drag force while in motion. it is basically the resistance to the wind which he has to overcome in order to keep moving forward. So this study deals with the calculation of drag force and generating respective plots.    1. Program to plot velocity vs…

AIM To write code in python for curve fitting  THEORY Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, possibly subject to constraints. it basically examines the relationship between one or more independent variables and a dependent variable,…

Compatibility check, To check whether the file is valid or not. 3. Performance calculation, To find the work done from the PV plot and then to find Power Output and Specific…

AIM:To generate the PV diagram and to determine the thermal efficiency of the engine. THEORY: Otto Cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle that describes the working of a spark-ignition engine. The cycle consists of  4 processes as illustrated in the figure below: it consists of 4 strokes namely: 1.Suction Stroke(1-2):…

SOLVING SECOND ORDER ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION OF A SIMPLE PENDULUM WITH DAMPING USING PYTHON Objective: Write a program to solve the Ordinary Differential Equation(ODE) of a simple pendulum using python and to create an animation of its motion. Theory: ODE is used to describe the transient behavior of a system. Consider…

Buckling Analysis Buckling Phenomenon Failure can occur as a result of material failure and also due to structural instability. Structural instability is most often called as buckling. Slender members are subjected to buckling phenomenon. Buckling depends on the stiffness of the member not the material properties. This…

FREQUENCY ANALYSIS OF A ROTATING SHAFT USING SOLIDWORKS OBJECTIVE To conduct a frequency analysis of a rotating shaft. MODEL DIMENSIONS The model dimensions are shown in Fig 1.1                                       Figure 1.1…

STATIC ANALYSIS ON PLATE WITH A HOLE INTRODUCTION Engineering analysis deals with finding various engineering parameters like displacement,stress and strain. Static analysis is done when the force does not change with respect to time. The displacements are computed from the stiffness matrix and followed by the derived…

BENDING IN BEAMS Objective To compare the stress, strain and displacement of the following beams: Rectangular section I section C section Introduction to Finite Element Analysis(FEA) Engineering analysis deals with finding various engineering parameters like displacement,stress and strain. Static analysis is done…

BREAKING ICE WITH AIR CUSHION VEHICLE OBJECTIVES 1. Use python to determine the minimum cushion pressure required to break a given thickness of ice using air cushion vehicle by using the Newton Raphson method. 2. To choose the optimum relaxation factor assuming the thickness of ice field =0.6 3. Use optimum relaxation…
