CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ENMEC2001 Engineering Dynamics – Assessment task 1 Page 1 of 2 ENMEC3250 – Advanced machine design ENMEC7030 – Machine system design Assessment tasks  Assessment task 1 (Individual task): Report on an engineering failure or an engineering disaster of your choice Due date: 17:00, Friday 24th March 2017, Week 4 Contribution: This assessment is worth 20% of your overall course grade Task Students are required to: - Choose one engineering failure or disaster (due to fatigue, impact, overload, resonance, wear…) of your interest - Research the cause of such failure and the technical difficulties that the engineers had to face - Solutions to prevent such failure from happening in future designs - Write a report to detail the failure itself, the findings, and solutions (10%). Prepare and deliver a presentation to your fellow students (10%). Aim This task aims to enhance student research skill on technical and engineering areas as well as develop their understanding of the theories of material failure. Assessment A word processing software must be used to prepare the report. Students are encouraged to use the template provided on Moodle. At this level, it is expected that your work is presented professionally; works that are not up to standard will be rejected and mark deduction will be applied. PowerPoint slides must be prepared and submitted to the Moodle. Hardcopy submission is not accepted. Your progress of this assessment task will be monitored and partially graded by your lecturer and tutor during the tutorials.CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ENMEC2001 Engineering Dynamics – Assessment task 1 Page 2 of 4 Plagiarism (copy and paste from the internet, other papers, or your peers) will receive substantial penalties and will be recorded in the system.  Assessment task 2 (Individual task): Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Mechanical Design Due date: 17:00, Thursday 13th April 2017, Week 7 Contribution: This assessment is worth 20% of your overall course grade Task Students are required to design and perform stress analysis on one of the car or motorcycle components of their choice such as a pair of gear, piston, con-rod, crankshaft, camshaft, drive shaft, CV joint, chassis… The design can be done on any CAD software such as Inventor, AutoCAD, Creo, SolidWorks…; while the stress analysis can be done on Matlab, Inventor, Autodesk Simulation Mechanical, SolidWorks… Students will need to submit a report for assessing by the due date. The report should include: - Why the particular part is chosen to be investigated - A detailed description and technical drawing(s) of the selected part - Position and function of the part in the car or motorcycle - A description of load and stress types and positions on the part - The design and FEA procedure and outcomes - References Aim This task aims to familiarise students with Finite Element Analysis in Mechanical design with the aid of computer software. Students will have the opportunity to further develop their selflearning and report writing skills. Assessment A word processing software must be used to prepare the report. The report must be presented professionally. Drawings must be presented in first angle projection using CAD software.CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ENMEC2001 Engineering Dynamics – Assessment task 1 Page 3 of 4 Hardcopy submission is not accepted.

Task Students will need to enrol themselves into teams by using the link provided on Moodle. One of the following projects will be assigned to your group via Moodle: - Project A: Design 2 pairs of gates and a hydraulic system to operate these gates for one of the Panama Canal’s lock chamber. Utilising FEA is encouraged. - Project B: Design a gearbox and drive shaft for a 4-cylinder, front-engine, rearwheel-drive car. Differentials are not required; the car payload is given as 400kg. The gearbox can be from 2 to 4 speeds with or without a reverse gear. Utilising FEA is encouraged. - Project C: Design a 30-ton-payload truck chassis, dimensions of which need to be suitable for Victorian roads. Utilising FEA is encouraged. - Project D: Design a gearbox and drive shaft for a 6-cylinder, front-engine, frontwheel-drive car. Differentials are not required; the car payload is given as 650kg. The gearbox must have 3 speeds with or without a reverse gear. Utilising FEA is encouraged. Each team is required to submit only one report via the link on Moodle. Aim This design project aims to develop students’ teamwork skills. Since minimal information is provided in the task description, students are urged to actively doing their research to complete the project in a timely manner.CRICOS Provider No. 00103D ENMEC2001 Engineering Dynamics – Assessment task 1 Page 4 of 4 Assessment A word processing software must be used to prepare the report. The report must be presented professionally; works that are not up to standard will be rejected and mark deduction will be applied. Drawings must be presented in first angle projection using CAD software. Teams must report their progress to the lecturer or tutor weekly or at least fortnightly; fail to do so will result in penalties and/or final submission rejected. The report must include: - A table in which names and percentage of contribution of each team member - Timelines and tasks of each team member Hardcopy submission is not accepted. Plagiarism (copy and paste from the internet, papers, or your peers) will receive substantial penalties and will be recorded in the system. -------- THE END ---------
