29 Jun 085: Bighead Poppit Snap-fit analysis of a newly developed fastener used to attach internal panels on cars and boats. The FEA results indicated why the prototypes failed after a low number of cycles. Based on the recommendations given, the design was successfully modified. Posted at 09:31h in Read More
29 Jun 081: Airbox Enclosure Static stress analysis with non-linear contact and modal analysis of an airbox enclosure design. 2 different load cases were analysed for the stress analysis, with stresses due to lifting and an internal pressure being evaluated. For both cases, the stresses were below the design strength of the materials used. From the modal analysis, the first natural frequency was reported. Posted at 09:30h in Read More
29 Jun 077: Lifting Bale Linear static stress analysis with non-linear surface contacts of a lifting frame, using mirror symmetry. Several designs were analysed, with some of the designs not initially meeting the acceptance criteria. Upon modifying these designs based on the recommendations given, all designs subsequently passed the acceptance criteria. Posted at 09:30h in Read More
29 Jun 075: Hot Water Vessel Linear static stress analysis and linear buckling analysis of a hot water vessel. The stress analysis included 6 load cases of different load applications, including elevated temperatures, and various internal pressures. The design analysed passed all acceptance criteria, proving the designs viability. Posted at 09:29h in Read More
