DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF BEAM HAMMER
Abstract
Beam hammer is a device which works on the principle of beam engine or inversion of four bar mechanism. Cast iron plates are used to construct the rigid beam engine mechanism which is one of the applications of four bar chain. The wooden bed is used to absorb the vibrations caused while operating the system. Nuts and bolts are made up of carbon steel which is capable of withstand deformation while reciprocating motion takes place. The hammer and the work rest are made up of mild steel because while hammer hitting the work piece deformation occurs both in the hammer and the work rest. To prevent the deformation, the mild steel is chosen in our project. When the crank is rotated, according to the beam engine mechanism it is converted into reciprocating motion on the other side through inversion of four bar mechanism, is achieved a prescribed hammering action on the cast iron work piece.
1. Introduction
1.1 Beam Engine Mechanism
It is based on four bar chain mechanism. The function of the mechanism is to convert the rotary motion of the crank into reciprocating motion [1]. In this mechanism, when the crank AB rotates about the fixed centre A, the lever CDE oscillates about the centre D and the end of the lever E is connected to a piston rod which reciprocates in the cylinder as shown in Figure 1.
Rigid material is used to withstand deformation and vibration caused by the lever for designing the beam of the mechanism [7].
The goal of the beam project is to design and construct a beam that can hold a given amount of weight without breaking. The beam is required to hold a concentrated load of 375 lbf on the X-axis and 150 lbf on the Y-axis. The maximum allowable weight of the beam is 250 grams. The maximum allowable deflection for the beam is 0.230 in. and 0.200 in. for the X and Y-axis respectively. The beam is required to be 24 in. in length, and it will be tested on a simply supported configuration spanning 21 in. All calculations are to be done under the assumption that the density of basswood is 28 lbm/ft3 and the modulus of elasticity for basswood is 1.46x106 lbm/in2. Given the constraints of a spending cost of $10.50, a maximum beam weight of 250 grams,
To verify the relationship between the mass of an object (among three objects) and the lever arm of one of the other objects on a seesaw according to their torques.
The Western military trajectory finds many of the impetuses for a military revolution stemming from non-Western stimuli. Innovations such as the composite bow (introduced by the Hyksos), cavalry (accredited to Assyria and Persia), the stirrup (attributed to China), gunpowder (China), crossbow (China), and cannons (China) have been attributed to non-Western regions; however, it is the Western militaries that exploited these innovations to their full deadly potential and in the process created military revolutions. This paper will discuss how some of these exploitations affected the Western military trajectory during the Gunpowder and First Industrial Revolutions, most often leaving the non-Western militaries lagging behind. It will also
Two of the devices in the Rube Goldberg machine are the lever and the wheel & axle. The lever is a device that reduces the amount of force needed to move an object, or lifting a load (fulcrum, force and a load). An example of a lever would be a see-saw, a see-saw is a play ground equipment that resembles a lever. This would be an example because it makes it easier to lift someone up who may be heavier than an average child. Another example of the lever is a stapler, this is another example because the staple also has fulcrum, effort and a load. The stapler works as a lever because of the way it is used, the pivot point is in the back of the stapler, the force is where it is pressured, and the load would be between the staple section and the
The artifact I choose this week to discuss was the hammer of Thor which dates back to the Viking Age and to Norse mythology. The history of the Mjölnir which was the hammer of Thor the Norse god related to thunder. Who was known as the indefatigable god who guarded Agard, home of the Aesir tribe of gods, and goddesses of Norse mythology. Thor was to prevent all who tried to destroy Asgard and kill Aesir and he did so with the use of his hammer. From all the symbols related to Norse mythology Thor’s hammer was among one of the most historically important and mostly the best known today.
Candidate Hammer begin his SULE I evaluation communicating an above standard five paragraph order. During the execution he provided good hand and arm signals. Upon spotting the enemy he conducted good control but failed to maintain proper dispersion. After hasty 180 he completed the consolidated 360 but failed to establish an observation post until prompted with “what was your mission” by evaluator. Upon realizing that his mission was not complete, he quickly set up an observation post and even directed “main firepower needs to be oriented N IOT protect our Company”. Throughout the mission he displayed a sense of urgency and his fireteam followed without hesitation. This was the contributing factor for an eventual accomplished
This gun has the strongest hammer mechanism, using a heat-treated, hardened material for outstanding durability.
The moving-forwards procedure is like: 1) move both of the lift trolleys right above the rear bracket; 2)lift up the rear legs; 3)main girder/ main truss moving to next span, where front leg can just stand on the next pier cap; 4)put down the rear legs; 5) lift up the rear bracket, and move it to appropiate position, then put it down; 6) move both lift trolleys right above the rear bracket; 7)lift up middle legs, and move it to the next pier cap, then put it down; 8)lift up front legs and rear legs; 9) move the main girder/ main truss forwards to make the distance between rear legs to rear bracket and the distance between middle leg to front legs are nearly same; 9)put down the rear legs. (also illustrated in "video"
This report aims to describe the experiment performed to investigate the stiffness of a channel section, and in particular calculate the flexural rigidity (EI) of the beam by two different sets of calculations based on the results gained in the experiment. The EI of an object is used
The tractor beam technology seen in the movie “Star Wars” is now a reality, and scientists have already come up with a way to move objects using sound waves.
The helpful hammer is a simple machine that is easy to use. The helpful hammer includes a lever, which affects the effort, or force, needed to do a certain amount of work, and are usually used to lift or move heavy objects. All you have to do is have a nail and a little bit hammered in so that the nail will be able to stand up on its own. Then, push the hammer down so that the rubber bands will act like a slingshot. Release, and the rubber bands/slingshot will get the hammer into an upward position and the weight in front of the hammer will bring the hammer down with force that will then cause the nail to go into the wooden
The piston then travels down pulling in fresh air, (third stroke), after the piston bottoms again it travels up compressing the fresh air, (fourth stroke). The fuel is then injected and one cycle is completed in 720 degrees or two full rotations of the crankshaft.
PROJECT DETAILS : Project in view of crankshaft automobiles FMEA demonstrate in light of value. Breaking down potential reasons for impact on crankshaft . This is based on information got utilizing procedures in view of oral meetings and survey organization on mechanical disappointment of crankshafts from the specialists working in the ranges of car support and crankshafts reconditioning to enhance yields of the projects.
Purpose: The purpose of this Physics Lab is to investigate what factors determine the amount of flexion of the cantilever. Hence, the objective is to establish a relationship between the length of a cantilever, which may give some insight into the physics of cantilevers.
Table 1 & 2: First, find the mass of the wooden block and record the data. Then place the wooden block on the inclined plane (at 0o) with the wide side down. The height of the pulley should be the same height as the screw location on the wooden block. Then hang a weight on the opposite side of the hanger and add weights until block starts to move with a constant velocity (push block to overcome fs¬). Then record the resulted weight of the hanger in Table 1 (as F). Add 500 g to the wooden block and repeat the process. Replace 500 g with 1 kg on the wooden block. Repeat the process described above.
