MBD of Internal Geneva Mechanism

Aim The motto of this project is to design, assemble and study the detail analysis of an IC Engine Valve by varying the cam lift. Introduction A valve train is a mechanical system that controls operation of the intake and exhaust valves in an internal combustion engine. The intake valves control the flow of air/fuel mixture…

Aim The objective of this task is to perform motion analysis on Piston assembly by varying the position of wrist pin offsets in the assembly and studying the linear displacements of each. Introduction "As the automobile goes, so goes the engine; and as the engine goes, so goes the piston" Automobiles play a key role in…

Aim The objective of this task is to perform motion analysis on planetary gear by constraining various parts of the assembly and studying the angular velocities of each. Introduction To study and understand the mechanisms, understanding the mere basics and concepts would help us understand it better. What are gears? Gears…

Objective To create a 3d model of internal Geneva mechanism and perform analysis by rotating it at 10 rpm,20rpm with 60 and 120 fps and obtain plots of Contact Forces, Angular displacement and Angular velocity also compare the plots of contact forces with precision on and precision off. Let’s start right from the…

What is File parsing? Parsing means a method of taking input from a string and returning some other data type or vice versa.   Objective 1. To write a function that extracts the 14 coefficients and calculates the enthalpy, entropy and specific heats for all the species in the data file.  2. Calculate the molecular…

What is the Genetic Algorithm? The genetic algorithm is a method for solving both constrained and unconstrained optimization problems which are based on natural selection, the process that drives biological evolution. The genetic algorithm repeatedly modifies a population of individual solutions. Unlike classical algorithms…

What is ODE? In Engineering, ODE is used to describe the transient behavior of a system. A simple example is a pendulum The way the pendulum moves depends on the Newtons second law. When this law is written down, we get a second order Ordinary Differential Equation that describes the position of the \"ball\" w.r.t time. …
