The required design constraints are as follows: Function of the existing cranes: A loading block is attached as shown to Pipe 2 at the end A. The load will be raised from the floor level to a height of 3 metres. Do not consider the geometry of the load at this stage. Pipe 2 is attached rigidly to the WC500 column of a workshop building at point B. Pipe 1 encased (smooth fit) a part of pipe1 and rigidly attached to the same WC500 400 column of a workshop building at B in order to reduce the high bending stresses acting at on the end B of Pipe 2. Available materials for modifications: Materials: A few lengths of each of Pipe1 and Pipe 2. (All pipes are steel with the Ultimate Strength i 320 MPa, Yield Strength 280 MPa, Shear Strength 248 MPa, E= 200 GPa, Poissons ratio =0.3, Density 7880 kg/m3)
MEC3302 CMD S1, 2014 Design Criteria: Part 1-1Analysis of existing crane arrangement - Do not use FEA software for this task. 1. Start with the analysis of existing crane arrangement for rated load of 150 kg (+ 25% rated capacity). Next perform the analysis of existing arrangement (without any modifications) for extended capacity 300 kg (+ 25% rated capacity). 2. Only hand calculations using fundamental formulas will be accepted. Use your fundamental knowledge in Stress Analysis (pre-requisite MEC2402 or equivalent). Strictly, do not use design formulas provided in design calculations, software or standards. Use suitable assumptions where required. 3. You have to list all your assumptions and highlight them. You are free to make justifiable assumptions to resolve statically indeterminate situations or problems. You also need to write and identify the parameters used in your fundamental equations . 4. Provide suitably neat hand sketches where necessary. 5. Provide your calculated results (stresses etc) using an appropriate presentation method (tabulate, lists etc)
Part 1-2 Analysis of crane with the proposed modifications - Do not use FEA software for this task. Design Limitations: The overall size of the crane must not be changed. The modification will not extend outside the marked are in the figure. The height and reach of the loading point is to remain the same. Original parts must remain and you are allowed additions such as corner plates, bracing , casings, ribs, enclosures for reinforcing etc. Due to frequent extreme overloading of crane by factory floor workers , the stress levels of major structural components of the crane needs to be kept under 75 MPa wherever possible. . If you cant maintain the max. stress level under the specific level, you need to justify it Also you need to limit the vertical and horizontal displacement at the loading point less than 50 mm. 1. Start with the analysis of existing crane arrangement for proposed rated load of 250 kg (+ 25% rated capacity) with the proposed modifications modifications). 2. Only hand calculations using fundamental formulas will be accepted. Use your fundamental knowledge in Stress Analysis (pre-requisite MEC2402 or equivalent). Strictly, do not use design formulas provided in design calculations, software or standards. Use suitable assumptions where required. 3. You have to list all your assumptions and highlight them in the report. You are free to make justifiable assumptions to resolve statically indeterminate situations or problems. You also need to write and identify the parameters used in your fundamental equations . 4. Provide suitably neat hand sketches where necessary and the final proposal must be sketched clearly. CAD packages can be used to present your design, but clearly define features with comments where appropriate. You are free to assume general engineering workshop processes are available for implementation of your modifications.

Part 2 (Use Creo 2.0 Simulate for FEA analysis) Create a suitable model with beam elements and perform an FEA for: 1. Existing crane arrangement with rated load i.e. 150 kg (+ 25% rated capacity) 2. Existing crane arrangement with extended rated load i.e. 300 kg (+ 25% rated capacity) 3. Crane arrangement with the proposed modifications with extended rated load i.e. 300 kg (+ 25% rated capacity) Your need to provide usual FEA details i.e. complete picture of FEA model showing constraints, applied loads, number of elements and nodes, analysis type, element types, material properties, and other related details and you need to justify your FEA analysis based on manual calculations. Also: Tabulate necessary/critical stress levels and location before and after modification. You need only to show necessary stress/strain/displacement plots from Creo2.0 to justify your analysis. Conclusions on your design/modification.

beam AB. Using the deflection equation deduce the lateral deflection at the mid-point of beam AB. . (E=200 GPa, Density 7880 kg/m3 , Poissons ratio =0.3) Perform a 2D FEA (Beam analysis) on Creo 2.0 Simulate and compare FEA results and manually determined values for reactions at A and B and the deflection at mid-point of the beam.
