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…

This paper will provide an overview of the smart materials. The various types of smart material are also presented in this paper. To get the clear idea about the smart materials, its definition and types are explained briefly. Some of the types of these include piezoelectric materials, magneto-rheostatic materials, electro-rheostatic materials, and shape memory alloys…

Titanium alloys are peculiar in characteristics such as high strength, temperature, and corrosion resistance. Therefore, titanium alloys are widely-adopted in aircraft engines, fuselages,  and landing gears. However, the aerospace fuselage requires thin-walled structures, involving  thin curved surfaces, complicated structures, and poor rigidity. So, bending or twisting during the manufacturing process is very obvious. The failure…

JACK PILE UNDERPINNING This method can be used when the depth of suitable bearing capacity subsoil is too deep to make traditional underpinning uneconomic. Jack pile underpinning is quiet, vibration free and flexible since the pile depth can be adjusted to suit subsoil conditions encountered. The existing foundations must be in a good condition since…

Materials Used for the Engine Block The engine is the single most important part of the automobile. Without it, the car simply will not move. It is important that the cylinder or engine block is built to withstand the high temperatures and pressures that are put into it and it is equally important that the…

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…

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…

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…
