scholarly journals Optimum design and 3D printing of a rocker arm of 4 cylinder Engine Using FEA

Rocker arm is vital component in valve actuating mechanism of an IC engine. [2] There is research is going on in industries for optimum design i.e. reduction in weight and increase in strength. Also failure of rocker arm is major concern, so in this project we have modeled the rocker arm in CAD software and done FEA analysis of the same model for different materials.[5][6] After that we have taken better material for modification to get optimum results, in this case we have taken structural steel material.

Abstract: Conventional leaf spring made up of conventional materials like plain carbon steel are heavy and add weight to vehicle which reduces mileage. This necessitates new material which is light in weight and could provide adequate strength to leaf spring along with higher strain energy absorption to absorb shocks. The current research is intended to study the structural and vibrational characteristics of leaf spring made of P100/6061 Al, P100/AZ 91C Mg and structural steel materials. The investigation is carried out using ANSYS FEA software. The FEA results have shown that P100/AZ/ 91C generated lower stresses as compared to P100/6061 Al and structural steel material. The modal analysis of leaf spring aided to determine mass participation factor and mode shapes corresponding to each frequency. Keywords: Leaf Spring, Energy Absorption, Structural Steel Materials, ANSYS FEA, Frequency.


The objective of this study was to determine appropriate orientation for the scaffold by using 3D printing. This has been done by fabrication in vertical and horizontal orientation and then the specimen were subjected to tensile and compressive test for its mechanical characterization of a specimen, a suitable orientation was found to be horizontal. Finally, FEA analysis was also carried out to match with experimental result

The primary aim of this experimental research was to provide information on the slip coefficient performance of ASTM A1010 stainless steel material and to ascertain if its behaviour is comparable to that of 350W Structural Steel. In accomplishing this task, it was important to examine other parameters associated with slip resistance testing, such as (i) bolt relaxation and (ii) the effect of temperature variation and re-usability of high strength bolts. In the 2014 edition of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code, the slip coefficient for clean mill scale and hot dip galvanized surface condition for the 350W structural steel is specified as 0.35, whereas for blasted-clean surface condition is specified as 0.5. Although test results in this research showed lower values for tested structural steel plates, the slip coefficient of A1010 stainless steel material performed better than the 350W structural steel for each surface condition and at the same temperature range. Recommendations regarding the slip resistance test method and the methodology for achieving the required surface conditions in slip resistance connection were drawn.


India is one of the prominent manufacturers in the automobile industry with 30 Million of vehicles production rate. Most of vehicles manufactured in India utilize internal combustion power drive methodology. Additionally, pollutions, global warming, conventional fuels exhaustion and loss of building materials are the major concerns associated with IC engine technology. Electric drive technology has the potential to mitigate these issues. Three-wheeled (3-W) battery powered rickshaws/vehicles are primarily employed for public conveyance in the metropolitan cities of India. The motor (propulsion) is a vital component of 3-W battery powered rickshaw. But, selection of appropriate propulsion system for 3-W rickshaw is crucial step. In the present study, an exertion has been prepared to assess the correct propulsion system for 3-W battery powered vehicle in Indian contest.

The replacement of damaged bone is done by design of bone then analyzing its properties, In Human body Bone plays important role in body. Which support & protect body parts. Bones comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and has complex internal and external structure. During daily activities, the skeletal system is subjected to a complicated loading exerted by the different loading conditions. Such loading modes for femur bones are include tensile, compressive, bending, and torsional forces applied to the bones of the skeletal system. In this project we have done FEA Analysis with different materials like Stainless steel, Titanium, ABS, PLA and develop artificial bone by 3D printing technology. The aim of this work is analysis & manufacture femur bone which can replace characteristics. Then it is to be printed by 3D Printer as prototype model.

The objective of this paper is to perform FEA analysis to establish a baseline analysis for the feasibility/optimization of the sidewalls for a simple wind box. A basic static finite element analysis (FEA) was run using Pro/Mechanica on the wind tank. The tank had corrugated walls, a flat bottom except for 3 sparse corrugations, and header that attaches to the top of all the tank walls around the perimeter of the tank. All components in the tank were constructed from 316L Stainless Steel material. Loads on the tank were then applied in the form of gravity (acting on all parts of the tank) and pressure (designated at 10 psi) acting on all the sidewalls and bottom of the tank. To make the analysis more efficient the model was idealized using shell elements, where applicable. The FEA analysis was completed to compare triangular, sinusoidal and trapezoidal sidewall designs for a simple wind box. The trapezoidal design was the best of the three designs, because it delivered the lowest stress and deformation levels. The sinusoidal and triangular corrugated walls provided a 6% reduction in needed material, but did not produce the same Factor of Safety as compared to the trapezoidal wall.
