Accomplishments
- Failure analysis of knuckle joint in tractors
- The project was a study of the failures in the knuckle joint in tractors in its service conditions
- Fracture control is the important process in this which depends upon the selection of the material, structural configuration, inspection procedure and safe operating stresses
- It reflected the light on damages occurred during variation in loading and unloading conditions
- Damage mechanisms such as stress corrosion fatigue, fatigue, fatigue corrosion and overloading have been observed when its failures have been analyzed
- Design and fabrication of grinding wheel internal attachment in lathe
- The Project was Designed (Solid works & Auto-Cad), fabrication of the grinding wheel and assembling
- The Grinding wheel was designed which fits only for the central lathe
- The grinding wheel is attached to the lathe to reduce the total time off work and to reduce the total cost of a separate grinding machine
- The ease of used due to its compact and rigid size which comes with less maintenance.
