Abstract

This assignment requires to design a crane which will keep the boom at an angle of 45o, hold up a mass of 10 kg being loaded on the boom, and also to find an appropriate counter weight which will keep the crane from tipping over but not exceed half of the load .we are allowed to use as many links in the design but it must have at least two links and the carne should not be more than the dimension 50x50x30(all in cm) and the most importantly the weight of crane must be 40g and below .balsa wood is the material that has been used for building this crane.
For more understanding of the applied mechanic topic we were advised to complete the free body diagram, force analysis of the crane as well as centroid and some brief description and discussion to achieve the aim of the given project.

Introduction

As we live our life in tall and huge skyscraper without showing any interest to know how they build and even asking our self how these heavy material have been lifted to 30 floors up, engineers are working hard on the same concept but the different is that they know answer of question and that is the reason they are working. the answer is simple of course crane is the machine that lift heavy material up and help human to build these skyscrapers .
A crane is a type of machine, generally equipped

    The counterweight trebuchet was extremely effective however it was subject to a great deal of stress during operation leading to a shortened life cycle. In order to resolve this problem, the counterweight was placed upon a hinge. This allowed it to swing as it reached the bottom of its fall, consequently reducing the stress placed upon the frame and throwing arm. This redesign not only improved the life span of the device, but also increased the total distance traveled. By increasing the distance covered, engineers were able to also increase the rotational speed of the lever arm, thus increasing the launch speed and force of the projectile.…

    Each type of design is although, unique in its own way, fulfills the desired goal that the Truss Brides are made for. The purpose of this experiment is to research various bridges and build a similar one that gave the students the highest inspiration. For one case in particular, the bridge design was in-spired by the Pratt Bridge and almost every height, width, and length met the requirements ex-cept for the length on the bottom part of the bridge, it exceeded the maximum height that was asked. Moreover the bridge held a total of 20 pounds before one of the top sticks snapped. Alt-hough it performed a decent job, the bridge could have held more weight if there were more di-agonals to provide more support so the bridge wouldn't break. Furthermore, this bridge fulfilled its goal and held a large amount of weight for such a small bridge. These bridges are also very significant for this planet because it is very resourceful and effective, as well as…

    Because we started this project a little too late, we did not bring any bridges to the actual contest, but we still followed most of the guidelines that they came up with. The goal was to make a bridge that could hold the most weight but also it needed to be light.The bridge had to span over 48 inches. My partners were Kat and Ema. At first, we started to think of designs to make a bridge. Our first design, after calculating how much wood it was going to take, came out to be a very large amount of wood that we could not use. Even though we trashed the idea, we kept the base idea that we had because it was pretty efficient. After around two more designs, we came up with a bridge that would not take that much wood and we believed that it would hold a good amount of weight. The first thing we did was cut out all of our pieces that we needed to create the bridge, this took a long time to calculate and to cut the right size pieces. At the same time of us finishing cutting all our of pieces, a new rule came into play that we could create smaller bridges to span over 12 inches. We cut every piece we had into ¼ of the size. We began creating our design but due to the glue not being very good and a lack of time, we did not finish. We still tested our design and it ended up being one of the best bridges that was made in our class. We decided that if we would have tried this again, we would use our time more wisely. I liked how we were able to make our own design, and how we could use a good amount of wood to create it. I also liked that we were not rushed to do this project. One thing that I would change is that we need to focus on one project at a time. This would allow us to make better designs. I would also change the type of glue that we used because it did not hold very well. The last thing that I would change is that I would like to pick my partners in the…

    First of all, values of deflections (δv, δh) were calculated for various head angles and loads as shown in Table 1-8. These deflection values were plotted against Load and gradients of the graphs of δv/W and δh/W were found out for various angles as shown in Figure 1-8 and stored in table 9. A graph was plotted between δv/W and δh/W which results in a circle. From the circle, values of offset and radius were used to calculate Principal second moments of area and orientation of principal axes.…

From a position in the rear of the grove, a battery was throwing shells over it. The flash of the guns started the youth at first. He thought they were aimed directly at him. Through the trees, he watched the black figures of the gunners as they worked swiftly and intently. Their labor seemed a complicated thing. He wondered how they could remember its formula in the midst of confusion.…
