  5. Major Project The final project is where a student applies the knowledge gained over the course of their studies to deliver a well researched, technically strong body of work. Important stages in this activity will include: • Project selection • Interim presentation • Submit unbound copy for proof reading • Submission of final bound thesis Dates as per handout N.B. It is essential that all projects contain a strong analytical / technical element.

  6. Project selection • Projects may come from one of the following: • List of projects presented by staff. • Ideas drawn from your own experience/interests. • Industrially based project. • Selection process. • Project list posted on web page • Meet with staff to discuss project ideas • Submit Project preference (Monday 19th Sept) • Project / supervisor allocation (Wed 21th Sept) • Project guidelines and project proposal form to be forwarded later this week. • In the meantime give some thought to project ideas of your own.

  7. Degree Award Levels Degree classification • First class Honours 70%+ • Second class Honours, Grade 1 60%+ • Second class Honours, Grade 2 50%+ • Pass 40%+

  15. Software • Computer Aided Design (Surface and Solid modelling), Solid Works. • Computer Aided Manufacture: Alphacam, Powermill • Mechanism Analysis: Working Model 2d, Cosmos Motion. • Finite Element Analysis Software:CosmosWorks • Thermal analysis: CosmosWorks • Computational fluid dynamics: CosmosFloworks • Data acquisition and instrument control: Labview

  16. Computer Aided Design • Examples of Computer Aided Design

  17. Finite Element Analysis Finite element analysis enables the designer to analyse the stresses in a component. • When a force is applied to a component stresses are induced. • Finite element analysis enables the stresses to be determined. • Blue represent low stress and Red represents high stress.

  18. 2d Mechanism Simulation • 2d Mechanism Simulation enables the user to evaluate the forces generated in a Mechanism using a simplified representation of the Mechanism.

  19. 3D Mechanism Simulation • 3d Mechanism simulation using Cosmos Motion

  20. Thermal Analysis • Thermal analysis

  21. Fluid Flow analysis • Computational Fluid dynamics
