Experimental Validation of Finite Element Analysis Software Applied to the Design of a Motorcycle Swingarm
… to the design of a motorcycle swingarm. The process includes design and implementation of an onboard data acquisition system; definition and measurement of operational loads; laboratory correlation of loads; experimental validation of Pro/Mechanica finite element analysis software; design and …

A parametric model for rapid analysis of automotive joints
… of the edges of the cross section of a member. Pro-Engineer, parametric modeling software, is used to construct a solid model of the joint using the transparent master parameters. A finite element model is then created using Pro-Engineer mesh generator, and this model is used to estimate the …

The design and development of an upper limb assistive technology
… supervision and work at their own pace. This project aims to develop a working portable exoskeleton which assists flexion and extension of the elbow joint in patients who are unable to confidently move their arm. The elbow joint was chosen as it can be simplified to roughly one degree of …

The design of a small and inexpensive abrasive waterjet cutter
… as the structure of the machine. A bench-level prototype of this structure was built and tested to prove the concept and optimize the design. Once structural testing and stiffening/damping technique testing was completed, the entire machine was designed and solid modeled on Pro/ ENGINEER. The …

Dynamic modal analysis and optimization of C-130 Project Oculus' mechanical arm/pod sensor deployment system using the finite element method
… Element Method (FEM) and Modal Analysis with Pro-Engineer and Pro-Mechanica. The natural frequency modes for the mechanical arm/pod system will be computed in the x, y and z directions with three different geometrical configurations of the structural cross-member supports. Modifying the …

An engineering constraint handling and optimization system for integrated product development
Integrated product development is the future of product development. Integrated product development is a process where both upstream (e.g., functional requirements, styling and cosmetic features, and packaging) and downstream (e.g., manufacturing considerations, testing, dunnage, and disposal) …

Development of a manufacturing feature-based design system
Traditional CAD systems are based on the serial approach of the product development cycle: the design process is not integrated with other activities and thus it can not provide information for subsequent phases of product development. In order to eliminate this problem, many modern CAD systems …

Finite volume analysis and optimisation of a high pressure homogeniser
… used to change the appearance and rheological properties of a fluid by means of a high pressure radial gap. It can be implemented to kill off harmful bacteria and organisms as well as reduce the size of individual components or particles to increase the shelf live of many products. The …

Optimal choice of machine tool for a machining job in a CAE environment
… breaking changes in machine tools and machining processes. Modern Machining Centres have been developed to perform several operations on several faces of a workpiece in a single setup. On the other hand industry requires high value added components, which have many quality critical features to be …

Design-Oriented Translators for Automotive Joints
A hierarchical approach is typically followed in design of consumer products. First, a manufacturer sets performance targets for the whole system according to customer surveys and benchmarking of competitors' products. Then, designers cascade these targets to the subsystems or the components using …

A CONCURRENT ENGINEERING DESIGN SYSTEM FOR POLYMERIC-BASED COMPOSITE AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS
… work was to develop a system for concurrent engineering of polymeric-based composites for automotive pedal box in the interest of reducing weight and cost. This system was designed in such a way that it enabled designers to identify the materials that satisfied a set of predefined design …
