Among the basic components of an Internal Combustion engine, the Connecting Rod for IC Engine is the most critical. The connecting rod is subjected to alternating direct compressive and tensile forces. Since the compressive forces are much higher than the tensile forces, therefore the cross-section of the connecting rod is designed as a strut and Rankine’s formula is used. […]
Design of Connecting Rod for IC Engine
Among the basic components of an Internal Combustion engine, the Connecting Rod for IC Engine is the most important and critical. The connecting rod is subjected to alternating direct compressive and tensile forces. Since the compressive forces are much higher than the tensile forces, therefore the cross-section of the connecting rod is designed as a strut and […]
How to Design Push Rods for IC Engine?
Among the basic components of an Internal Combustion engine, the Push rod is one of the critical components. The push rods are used in overhead valve and side valve engines. Since these are designed as long columns, therefore Euler’s formula should be used. The push rods may be treated as pin-end columns because they use spherical […]
How to Design a Piston Rod?
Among the basic components of an Internal Combustion engine, the Piston rod is one of the most critical components. Since this Piston rod moves forward and backward in the engine cylinder, it is subjected to alternate tensile and compressive forces. It is usually made of mild steel. One end of the piston rod is secured […]
Long Columns Subjected to Eccentric Loading
A machine part subjected to an axial compressive force is called a strut. A strut may be horizontal, inclined, or even vertical. But a vertical strut is a column, pillar, or stanchion. The machine members that must be investigated for column action are piston rods, valve push rods, connecting rods, screw jack, side links of toggle jack, etc. We discussed Euler’s […]
What is Johnson’s Formulae for Columns?
A machine part subjected to an axial compressive force is called a strut. A strut may be horizontal, inclined, or even vertical. But a vertical strut is known as a column, pillar, or stanchion. The machine members that must be investigated for column action are piston rods, valve push rods, connecting rods, screw jack, side links of toggle jack, etc. In […]
What is Rankine’s Formula for Columns?
Usually, it is a common phenomenon observed in long columns failure due to buckling load and the short columns usually fail due to crushing load. The Rankine-Gordon formula assumes a combined failure mode which is combined buckling and crushing loads in columns. This common mode is known as the Rankine formula for columns. Hence, we […]
What is Euler’s Column Theory?
A machine part subjected to a vertical axial compressive force is called a column. it is also known as a pillar or stanchion. We see this vertical axial compressive force such as piston rods, valve push rods, connecting rods, screw jack, side links of toggle jack, etc. The first rational attempt, to study the stability of long columns, […]
What is Column? | Failure of a Column
A machine part subjected to an axial compressive force is called a strut. A strut may be horizontal, inclined, or even vertical. But a vertical strut is known as a column, pillar, or stanchion. The machine members that must be investigated for column action are piston rods, valve push rods, connecting rods, screw jack, side links of toggle jack, etc. Let […]
Procedure for Designing Rocker’s Arm for Exhaust Valve
A rocker’s arm is a valvetrain component that typically transfers the motion of a push rod to the corresponding intake/exhaust valve. The rocker’s arm is used to actuate the inlet and exhaust valve motion as directed by the cam and follower. Let us see if we can design Rocker’s Arm for Exhaust Valve for a petrol […]
Find stiffness of the spring in Hartnell Governor
Hartnell Governor is basically a Centrifugal governor with a spring-loaded weight instead of dead weight on the sleeve to increase the speed of the balls required to lift the sleeve on the spindle. The Bell crank Lever holds two dead-weight balls for a Hartnell governor in order to regulate the fuel flow for the engines […]
How to Design a Bell Crank Lever?
The Bell crank lever consists of two arms at right angles. Such types of levers are used in railway signaling, governors of Hartnell type, the drive for the air pump of condensers, etc. Let us design a simple Bell Crank Lever for one of these applications. In the previous articles, we have discussed different Mechanical […]
How to Design a Lever Safety Valve?
A Mechanical Lever is a rigid rod or bar capable of turning about a fixed point called a fulcrum. It is used as a machine to lift a load by the application of a small effort. Lever Safety Valve is used to maintain a constant safe pressure inside the boiler. When the pressure inside the boiler increases the […]
How to design Cranked lever? | Crankshaft
A cranked lever is a hand lever commonly used for operating hoisting winches. Usually, a Mechanical Lever is a rigid rod or bar capable of turning about a fixed point called a fulcrum. It is used as a machine to lift a load by the application of a small effort. Let us discuss more on how we can […]
How to design Foot Lever? | Foot Pump Lever
Have you ever used the foot pump for your car to inflate the tyre? Yes right there you can see the Foot Pump lever that you press with your foot to inflate your tire. That Foot Lever is nothing but a Mechanical Lever. A Mechanical Lever is a rigid rod or bar capable of turning […]
How to import saved view orientations in Creo?
Modelling, Assembling and drafting in Creo can be exciting and fun. But sometimes if you want import saved view orientations in to bunch of models it can be not simple as it is supposed to be. Since Creo is one the best CAD software for engineers who work with large assemblies and multiple components. For people new […]
How to create BOM with Repeat Region in Creo?
Modelling, Assembling and drafting in Creo can be exciting and fun. Creating BOM with Repeat Region in Creo can be pretty frustrating sometimes as it should not be since Creo is one the best CAD software for engineers who work with large assemblies and their drawings and BOMs. Let us not too worry about this and solve […]
How does Gear Wheel Pump work?
The gear wheel pump is a rotary pump in which two gears mesh to provide the pumping action. This type of pump is mostly used for cooling water and pressure oil to be supplied for lubrication to motors, turbines, machine tools etc. Fluid Systems A fluid system is defined as a device in which power […]
How does Air Lift Pump work?
The Air Lift pump is a device which is used for lifting water from a well or sump by using compressed air. The compressed air is made to mix with the water. The Air Lift pump has no moving parts and relies on the difference in density between the air and water mixture and the […]
Hydraulic Coupling vs Torque Converter
The fluid or hydraulic coupling is a device used for transmitting power from the driving shaft to the driven shaft with the help of a fluid (generally oil). Whereas the hydraulic torque converter is a device used for transmitting increased torque at the driven shaft. There is no need for a mechanical connection between the […]
