Stress Analysis of the Front Suspension of a Formula Student Racing Car Using Solidworks Simulation Tools Abstract— the paper covers a simulation of the front suspension system which obtained a better way to analyze the problem. With the help of theoretical study, the simulation was conducted by using composite elements mesh for the system, which…

The aim of this investigation was to find the stress intensity that was present when a finite analysis of a cracked plate was conducted. The results that were gained from using the software, ANSYS, were verified with theoretical hand calculations. The stress intensity (KI) was found to be 0.42 Pam1/2 using the finite element analysis…

Introduction Statics is a branch of Mechanics that studies the forces and their effects in rigid bodies in balance. Just like humans, objects and buildings need a skeleton too. This is known as the structure. Bridges, amusement parks, chairs, and many other objects that surround us, have structures, if they didn’t they wouldn’t be able…

Trial on Hardened Concrete This chapter describes the consequences of the trial programmed to set up the mechanical belongingss of the conventional concrete every bit good as GGBFS added concrete with different per centum to the weight of the cement. Concrete mixes detailed in the proceeding chapter. Mixing of ingredient of concrete is done for…

According to major supplies, “Use of synthetic fibers for reinforcing concreteis continuously, increasing. The increase has been considerable since 1980, butslowed somewhat in 1990, a year of substantial construction cutbacks. Apparentlythe construction community believes there are advantages in the use of syntheticfibers in concrete.” (Schupack) Synthetic fibers are used to improve crackcontrol in concrete. Some…

The Ogallala Aquifer is one of the largest aquifer systems in the universe in footings of country covered ( 174. 000 square stat mis ) . underlying parts of eight provinces of the Great Plains: Texas. New Mexico. Colorado. Oklahoma. Kansas. Nebraska. Wyoming. and South Dakota ( Nativ. 1 ) . Recharge into the Ogallala…

Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves, also called compression waves. Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves. Longitudinal sound waves are waves of alternating pressure deviations from the equilibrium pressure, causing local regions of compression and rarefaction, while transverse waves are waves of…

Performance Characteristics of Belton Wheel (Impulse Purpose: To investigate typical performance characteristics of an impulse turbine. Apparatus: Ramified Belton Turbine, Ramified Hydraulics Bench and digital tachometer. Sketch a labeled schematic diagram of the apparatus. Theory and Definitions: (Ref. Munson/Young/Schools A Brief Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, 3/e, p. 479) 1. Ideal power and efficiency From 1…

Discussion The process of consolidation is often confused with the process of compaction. Compaction increases the density of an unsaturated soil by reducing the volume of air in the voids. Meanwhile, Consolidation is a time-related process of increasing the density of saturated soil by draining some of the water out of the voids. According to…

The various types of contamination of wastewater require a variety of strategies to remove the contamination Brine treatment Brine treatment involves removing dissolved salt ions from the waste stream. Although similarities to seawater or brackish water desalination exist, industrial brine treatment may contain unique combinations of dissolved ions, such as hardness ions or other metals,…
