take-up systems, power requirement of horizontal belt conveyors for frictional resistance of
idler and pulleys, introduction to design of cranes.
Term Work
Term work shall consists of
1. One design project:
The design project shall consist of two imperial size sheets (Preferably drawn with
3D/2D CAD software) - one involving assembly drawing with a part list and overall
dimensions and the other sheet involving drawings of individual components,
manufacturing tolerances, surface finish symbols and geometric tolerances should be
specified so as to make it working drawing. A design report giving all necessary
calculations of the design of components and assembly should be submitted. Projects
shall be in the form of design of mechanical systems including pressure vessel, conveyor
system, multi speed gear box, I.C engine, etc.
2. Assignments:
The assignment shall be internally presented in the form of power point presentation, by
a group of three to five students. A report of assignment (Max 8 to 10 pages) along with print
out of ppt is to be submitted.
Each student shall complete any three of the following:
1. Design review of any product/ system for strength and rigidity considerations.
2. Design review of any product/system for manufacturing, assembly and cost considerations.
3. Design review of any product/system for aesthetic and ergonomic considerations.
4. Analysis of any product/system using reverse engineering.
5. Case study of one patent from the product design point of view.
6. Failure mode and effect analysis of one product/component.
7. Concurrent Engineering.
