Report Format
Abstract
1.Introduction
a. Background of the part/component selected
b. Objective of the design
I.
The selected part should be below the selected factor of safety. (decide F.S)
II.
The optimized part should be lighter.
2. Mechanical Part/component/assembly detail design
a. Isometric (3D) drawing detail with dimention
b. Multiview/ Ortographic (2D) drawing detail with dimention
c. Sectional view ** if needed
3. Mechanical part Standard Design Study
a. Design for manufacturability and ergonomics

I.
II.

Discussion on the potential manufacturing process

Ergonomics of the design

b. Material Selection - material used for the part or component, the properties of the material,
and the reason of selecting that type of material.
c. The constraints (type, location, etc) and loads (magnitude, direction, type, etc) acting on the
component or part. Assumption must be logic and have proper quote as well as
explanations if taken from other resources.
d. Result/s of a test on the initial design ( fringe plot, graph, etc)
Mechanical Part Sensitivity Design Study
a. Select parameters for sensitivity studies, and show plots of the Sensitivity Studies and explain
about the plots
5. Mechanical Part Optimization design Study
a. Select parameters for Optimization Studies and state the goal to be achieved and the limits
to be tracked.
b. Show the result/s of the optimization studies.
c. Show the optimized design with isometric drawing (3D) and detail orthographic drawings
(2D).
6. Conclusion
