Mechanical engineering uni project
Mechanical engineering uni project
I'm a mechanical engineering student with a fairly open brief for a short project. Have to draw a 3D cad model of a mechanism and do some motion analysis. So i thought i'd ask the fine folk of slrpnk if they had any projects that need a bit of ironing out.
Probably best suited if you have an idea and want see how the parts might move in 3 dimensions. I'd be able to tell you stuff like how much force/torque is in a particular part, letting you know how strong bits need to be.
Has to be a mechanism of some sort that i draw from scratch - let me know what dimensions i need to accomodate. And i have to present it to the class.
You're viewing a single thread.
What kind of material and size limitations are there?
Well, there are regulations governing the materials they can be made of.
What materials?
Well, cardboard's out.
And?
No cardboard derivatives.
Like paper?
No paper. No string. No sellotape.
Rubber?
No, rubber's out. Umm, they've got to have a steering wheel.
No cardboard derivatives.
Any material, the software i'll be using has some basic material properties built-in, but theres room for customisation.
Size limitations - any sort of dimensions. Complexity - i could probably do a few mechanisms that are less than maybe 5-10 parts. Or else one large, say less than 50.
