Assignment 2-Introduction Portion

Groups are required to locate a failed componentneed to have it in-hand. They may select one of the components from A1, or change it. The component must be mechanical engineering-related in nature. Provide background information on the componentapplication, significance. Historical context if needed. Who is the manufacture (if important)? How is it made (casting, forging, machined)?

Assignment 2 cont d
Material properties- What is it made of? Are there are more than one material? Did it fail at the material interface? What are some key material properties affecting its use (Kc, Hv, yield strength, E, density, melting temperature, how cold effects it, how stress effects it)? What are some key material properties affecting its failure? Provide values (if you can) and meaning/significance (this is where the technical thought comes in). Why is this material used in this application? What are its strengths (e.g., high hardness) and weaknesses (e.g., low ductility)? What is the crystal structure? Type of bond? Bonus: Define some of the important properties and comment on how these properties are determined (experimentally, directly, indirectly. Offer insight into their physical significance (not E is the slope of the curve.) Pictures help (especially microstructure). Incorporate definitions in the text using footnotes.

Assignment 2 cont d
Failure- Explain how it failed- show some pictures. Is it bulk or localized failure? Describe the potential loading scenario (estimate stresses if you like). Keywords: ductile failure vs brittle failure, shear, necking, localization, fracture/failure. Explain the primary failure phenomena in detail. Introduce some potential mechanisms. Define them. Include schematics of the microstructure if you like. What are some associated eqs with the mechanism? Was the loading condition poor? Why was the loading condition bad? Was it poorly designed? Objective, goals, methods and approaches- List objectives and goals. Explain methods, approaches to solving the design problem keep this brief and only include the options that you will be performing. Keep simple. Keep in mind: Can you measure loads somehow? Fatigue/wear? How can you quantify the failure/design? How can you characterize the failure (e.g., have you seen this failure before)? You can t just look at it, you have the prove it.

Assignment 2 Report
Report: Once you have included some or all these, you need to write a report. The goal of this report should be to show that you have initial understanding of your component, an idea how it failed and why it failed, and an initial scope for the remaining of the term. Each section will slightly change throughout the term so be open-minded. Also, always start by doing the simple things well. Keep the report as concise as possible. Also, include your evaluation sheets.

Project Outline-Assignment 3
Focusing Scope and Introduction to Evaluation and ReDesign Improve scope- From A1 you should have an initial scope. Is your scope achievable? Does it fit into Mechanics of Materials and Mech Engn? Improve methods/approaches. Consider if additional work on other sections in A1 is needed. Think critically. Design process- The next 2 assignments are about the design process. Keep in mind that you also need to show consideration as to how you are going to analyze the work at the next level. The next level is the handson portion of the project. Keep this portion simple. Start planning (experimental design, analysis designmicrostructure work, prototype design-building).

Assignment 3 cont d
Improve scope- From A1 you should have an initial scope. Is your scope achievable? Does it fit into Mechanics of Materials and Mech Engn? Improve methods/approaches. Consider if additional work on other sections in A1 is needed. Think critically. Design process- The next 2 assignments are about the design process. Keep in mind that you also need to show consideration as to how you are going to analyze the work at the next level. The next level is the hands-on portion of the project. Keep this portion simple. Start planning (experimental design, analysis design-microstructure work, prototype design-building).

Assignment 3 cont d
In addition to evaluating the old component, you must also begin to consider designs for the re-designed component. Balance your time and effort. Re-designed component First, get a plan on how you are going to re-design the part: Constraints- list them. Only choose key ones. Are there new approaches/ methodology to include? Does your timeline (approaches) change? You should begin to re-design the component. How would you improve the design? Dimension design? Can you avoid the problem? Can you change the material? Can you change the microstructure? Be sure to say why you choose aspects of the design. CAD work- Does my re-design part need a CAD drawing to better illustrate it? Is this in my realm of expertise?

Report: Assignment 3
Report: This report should begin with the revised objectives, methods/ approaches. Relate the design problem, its significance, and some key technical ideas in your methods/approaches section. Approaches should include an initial plan regarding the remaining components of the project. Provide a structure of the current report at the end of this section. Next, your Failed-component section should be considered. This is like Results , but you can name it however you want. Please include technical considerations for each of the aspects previously mentioned. These will help you understand the problem better. The final thing to include in your report is the initial work on the redesigned component. Including constraints is required and any preliminary sketches. You do not have to state future work, but please keep in mind. Include your evaluation sheet. Note: Again, you do not need to include all of these components in the report. It is in your best interest to keep them all in mind. Remember: it s important to consistently relate the work to the problem and to focus on key points. Please use design-related keywords.

Assignment 4: Continuation of analysis/design component

This assignment will be a continuation of the previous one. Things to consider: Knowing what you now know, can you improve your project? Continue re-designing the part. Be sure to say why you choose each aspect of the design Can you improve how it failed and why it failed sections? Improve technical language in previous assignments. What have you done so far? Recap (like an abstract or a summary would be). And what do you need to do in the future. **Start planning the last phase of your project- testing, hands one, microstructure evaluation, FEA, some or all of these

Assignment 4 Report
Report: You should include an abstract in this report on what you have done to date. Next, build on the results section from the previous report. This should be the next section in your report. With more knowledge, can you make better comments on the Failed component section? Include this section as well. Include the re-designed part. Remember to show how it meets the requirements, and fits into the original design problem. By this time you should have a few paragraphs in your discussion section. Include future work. Note: With a month remaining in the course you should have the introduction completed, and should be 75 % completed the Results section. After this assignment, the remaining work should be finalizing your design, showing that it works, and focusing on the hands-on portion of the project.

Assignment 5. Hands-on aspect of the project

With over a month remaining, you are required to begin to work on the hands-on portion of the project. This work will be included in the next 2 reports. This is where Bs turn into As. Items to consider: Do you have a plan to finish this project? Is this plan focused? Begin to perform the hands on portion of the project (next report due in 3 weeks). Come and talk to me if you have questions Focus on the key essentials and keep it simple

Assignment 5
Preliminary ideas for hands-on portion
May have an experimental part (experimental design) Can cut and mount samples near the failure Hardness testing Microscope and SEM work Build the component

Assignment 5 Report
Report: Include a brief methods/approach for the hands-on portion of the project. Remember to relate it back to the problem (e.g., understanding the failure better, building approach, etc). If not yet completed, please include the re-design of your part. You may also include an updated version of the re-design. Include all work performed on the hands-on aspect of the project.

Assignment 6
Finish hands-on aspect and report on it After you do some hands-on stuff does your design change? Finalize re-design and report on it Can you add additional technical consideration to your design/comments knowing what you now know? Summarize document and write abstract. Make sure pictures are good quality and show thoughtful technical consideration. Include future work Remember: Assignment 6 should complete your final report. Report: This is your final report. Please follow structure guidelines.

Final Presentation
March 30- Final presentations. Submit final report. Presentations: Final presentations should include all work. Be 10 slides or less. Focus on the key points, mechanisms, and show lots of pictures. Mention future work.

Next Class
Ask class for topic for next lecture Presentations: 4 core slides (can include title page) on A1. Including future work is strongly recommended. Think about: Why the problem is important? What did you do? Why do we care? How does it tie into the Mechanics of Materials and Mechanical Engineering? What are you going do in the future? Attendance Quiz 3
