Mohr’s Circle is a graphical method used in engineering mechanics to determine the normal stress, shear stress, and principal stresses at a given point in a material under loading. It is particularly useful in analyzing plane stress and plane strain conditions in structural and mechanical components. Key Concepts 1. Stress Components in a Material A… Continue reading Mohr’s Circle

The design of a Cam and Follower Mechanism involves several key steps, ensuring that the motion profile is accurate and the system operates smoothly. The process includes defining motion requirements, selecting the type of cam and follower, determining the motion profile, and finalizing dimensions for manufacturing. 1. Define the Motion Requirements Before designing the cam… Continue reading Designing Cams and Followers

A Cam and Follower Mechanism is a mechanical system used to convert rotary motion into reciprocating or oscillating motion. It consists of two main components: Cam – A rotating or sliding piece that has a specially shaped profile designed to move the follower in a specific motion pattern. Follower – A component that moves in… Continue reading Cam and Follower Mechanism

Aerodynamics, in particular, plays a crucial role in determining an aircraft’s performance, efficiency, and stability in flight. 1. Fundamentals of Aircraft Design Key Components of an Aircraft Fuselage – The main body of… Continue reading Aircraft design and Aerodynamics

The Form Tool in Fusion 360 is a powerful tool used for creating complex, organic, and freeform shapes using the T-Spline modeling technique. It allows designers to sculpt smooth surfaces that are difficult to achieve with traditional parametric modeling. Key Features of the Form Tool in Fusion 360: T-Spline Surface Modeling: The Form tool operates… Continue reading Form Tool in Fusion 360

Rack and Pinion Mechanism Rack and pinion are a type of gear system that converts rotational motion into linear motion (or vice versa). It consists of two main components: Rack – A straight, toothed bar that provides linear movement. Pinion – A small, circular gear that engages with the rack to drive motion. When the… Continue reading Rack and Pinion Mechanism

Helical Gears Helical gears are a type of cylindrical gear with angled teeth that form a helix around the gear axis. Unlike spur gears, where teeth are parallel to the axis, helical gears engage gradually, providing smoother and quieter operation. Key Features of Helical Gears: Angled Teeth – Teeth are cut at an angle to… Continue reading Helical Gear

Bevel gears are a type of gear designed to transmit power between shafts that intersect, typically at a 90-degree angle. They have conically shaped teeth and are used in applications requiring changes in the direction of rotation. Key Features of Bevel Gears: Conical Shape – Teeth are arranged along the surface of a cone rather… Continue reading Bevel Gears
