These engines a) ingest a mixture of fuel and air, b) compress it, c) cause it to react,…

Aim of the project:- To write a program in Matlab to simulate the forward kinematics of a 2R Robotic Arm Introduction:- Kinematics is the relationships between the positions, velocities and accelerations of the links of a manipulator. The forward kinematics is when the kinematical data are known for the joint…

Aim:-  To write a Matlab program to calculate drag force against a cyclist.   Abstract:- The objective of this project is to write two programs. One for plotting Velocity vs Drag force and another program to plot Drag Co-efficient vs Drag force. Firstly, the drag force must be calculated using a single value…

Abstract: - This project aims to perform a fatigue analysis on a bicycle crank arm using SolidWorks and find out the number of cycles it will take before the part to reach failure. The Stress Life (SN) method was used since it is based upon standard material test to failure. Several parameters were changed, these parameters…

Abstract:- The aim of this project is to perform a frequency analysis on a rotating shaft, from there we need to determine the critical frequencies and the mode shapes. 5 Mode Shapes were simulated and analysed. Introduction:- Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. The formula…

Abstract:- To Perform a static analysis on two models of a plate with holes via SolidWorks, one analysis for a plate with one hole and one analysis for a plate with three holes. Finally, compare the obtained results between the two plates. Introduction:- When loads are applied to a body, the body deforms and the effect…

Abstract:- For this project, the main objective is to carry out a buckling analysis on a Cyclonic separator stand. After the initial analysis, a metallic stiffener will be sketched and added to the stand and another buckling analysis will be simulated to find the change in the buckling Factor of Safety. Finally, a design…

Abstract: - For this project, there will be three different types of beams (Rectangular beam, I- section beam and C- section beam). These beams will be extruded by a length of 400mm. From there, the beams will be simulated using the Finite Element Analysis techniques. A fixed fixture and a force of 1500N will be acting…
