 Introduction

Brown Back Tiger 100 [1] Wright R-1820 Cyclone [2]

1. It was first built in 1903 with 3 cylinders and used in a triplane.

2. Predominantly used in small airplanes.

3. Due to the shorter length of the crankshaft, it creates less vibration.

4. Not common nowadays.

 Objectives

1. Redesign the entire model 4 times to the given dimension.[3]

2. Design and add a flywheel.

3. Design a belt and pulley mechanism to make use of power

output.

4. Perform static and thermal analysis on selective parts.

 Assembly

• Bottom-Up approach.

• Assembled individual parts to the

respective position using mates.

• Use of geometrical mates such as

plane, concentric, coincident, distance
and width mate.

• Fasteners and bearings were imported

from library and modified to the
requirement.

• Further, motion study was performed.

 Conclusion

• The 6-cylinder radial engine has 23 parts in total.

• All parts were modified 4 times as per the objective using SolidWorks 2021.

• All the parts were assembled as per the requirement.

• The group also added a belt and pulley mechanism to use the output.

• Working simulation was also added to show the movement of all parts including the piston.

• The Static Analysis and Thermal Analysis was performed on selective parts.

• The primary objective of learning the concept of design, drafting, assembly, simulation and
finite element analysis was achieved by this project.
