1.0 hovercraft for rescue Design Brief Design Challenge Mood Board for Ideation

Design Research

( on going Master Thesis Project )

Flood in India causes maximum number of death of people among all disaster. It has been observed that flood rescue vehicle used by Indian ARMY, Indian AIR FORCE, Indian NAVY and NDRF are not safe from crew point of view and also from victim point of view. Those vehicles can not achieve target when water current is more then 8 knot and water is full of wave and wake. Those vehicles also can not overcome water hazards during flash flood or similar kind of disasters. Design a vehicle which will be useful for rescue as well as transportation also.

Types of flood Stages of flood Flood water behaviour Flood hazards Existing flood rescue vehicle in India Limitation of existing rescue vehicles Rescue vehicles in the world Hi speed water vehicle type

Air cushion

The limitations of any boat are of two kinds. Firstly, the physical limitations built into the boat by the designer and by the motor installed on the boat. Secondly, safety limitations.

I am taking into consideration the force, pressure and moment created in spine of a crew during rescue.

Salient Features

Closed cabin with gull-wing-doors

Low-noise ducted propellers made from carbon fibres.

Thrust system with independent reversable pitch-propellers, V-rudder system for banking in turns

No wakes, no erosive wash to shorelines, no exhaust in water, no propellers hurt sealife, very fuel efficient compared to displacement vessels

Sandwich structure for light weight

Advanced composites with Carbon fabric components offer a tensile strength many times higher than the tensile strength of aluminium

Low level of life cycle costs

Advanced composites have a very low coefficient of thermal conductivity. Any localised fire will not transmit heat to other parts of the structure

Sometimes anti social element captures the sensitive areas. In this situation our soldiers are helpless to fight with elements.

Our proposed spying object will definitely help our soldiers in crucial situations. Our flying object will have the following features -• Disc Shape, so that radar can’t detect it.• Better gliding capability.• Can take off in less space.• Can be used as spying purpose.We are designed, fabricated and tested our object theoretically as well as practically as far as possible.

* Gliding capability* Illusionary* Unidentifiable* Untraceable* Unmanned

Used flat aerofoil theory

Air flow having no viscosity has zero drag and no lift.

Vortex created

If we suddenly turn the viscosity on, the flow about our flat-plate airfoil will begin to change. The viscous boundary layer will start to form on the surface. The viscous air will create a vortex which will turn down the tailing edge and leading edge up. And a magic lift starts.

3D Rendering

Large wing span with a disc shape can be really helpful to glide through air for a long time. Twisting twin engine helps to take off vertically

Above some altitude flying disc creates the illusion of

some UAV’s or strange birds in the minds of the people.

Untraceable as radar is unable to trace disc shape

Stress Displacement Simulation and Modification

Stress Simulation Displacement Simulation

Many people with mobility limitations can’t enjoy participating in winter recreational activities. In order to enjoy the alpine ski slopes, wheelchair users and others who have lower limb limitations need skiing equipment that can be used in a seated position.Design a sit ski which is ergonomically comfortable and absorb shocks due to damping on the way of ski.

Bicycles are generally divided into Mountain bicycle ( also called cross-country bicycle ) and Road bicycle ( also called road ster or racing bicycle ). My primary objective is to combine both the cycle features and to give aesthetic look in general. Secondary objective is to design an ergonomic handle which will give rider comfort and safety.

5.0 failure mode effect analysis of plastic chair Analysis Brief

A failed plastic lawn chair was examined to determine the cause of failure. This chair failed on the premises of a restaurant In this study the subject chair is examined and compared to several exemplar purchased at the same time. The objective of this study is to determine the cause of failure.

Overview

The subject chair is shown in Figure. The rear right leg andfront handle of the chair has broken. There was no additional damage to the chair.

The indicated zones are the failurre prone zones. We have to analyze the mode of failure.

Crack Surface Analysis of Subject FailureThere are crack arrest lines perpendicular to the crack travel direction. Fracture surfaces indicate a form of low cycle fatigue. It means the fracture is not because of cyclic loading, it is because of static loading.To find out the actual reason I have gone through user survey. From that I came to know their using style. Then I did software analysis.

Case 1 Case 2

Case 1 Case 2

There are dirt line visible near the fracture. It is because of UV degradation. As these chairs are used in restaurents under sunlight UV degradation causes dirt line near the joint where fillet radius are less and loads are high.

5.1 failure mode effect analysis of plastic chair User Analysis

Standard Sitting Position

All the legs are fixed

Every individual occupies a temporary space arround him, which is called personal territory described by Sommer 1969. And designer should keepin mind this thing.

Designer designed considering standard sitting posture, i.e. all the main body angles are 90 degree. But in actual students in their room at IITG use those chairs with informal postures.

Only rear legs are fixed Only front legs are fixed

Informal Sitting Position

Softwarer Analysis of Subject Failure Under Informal Sitting Condition

Conclusion

Maximum Stress408196864 N/m^2

Maximum Displcement1390.77 mm

Factor of Safety1.5

Average IndianHuman Body Weight80 kg. FOS=1.5Design Load=120 kg

Material= PolypropyleneMass Density= 1700 kg/m^3Tensile Strength= 23000000 N/m^2Yield Strength= 369000000 N/m^2

Under the application of 120 kg static loading the results are above. The maximum stress developed is 408196864 N/m^2, which is much more then the yield strength of the material, but it should not be. And the result due to that is infront of us.

So, this chair failure was a result of a design defect and users’ using style problen. The design of the leg and its attachment to the seat create a high stress situation that generated cracks between the leg and the seat. So, during design a high fillet radius should be given by the designer.

( Only rear legs are fixed )

6.0 spray cleaning device Design Brief

Concept Sketches

( For Hindustan Unilever Ltd. )

In India, our laundry detergent Surf Excel is used mostly for hand washing. When washing clothes by hand, it’s rinsing that often takes most time and uses most water– water that is extremely scarce, especially if you live in the dry, southern states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. So wehave to design a device that will not creat lather significantly, but will clean efficiently.

ProjectsMobility System for Disaster Management for Indian Army [ Currently there is no indigenous technology to support Indian defence force as well as civilian populations in India's riverside terrain. More often these gadgets are being imported from abroad at high cost. That’s why I am designing an Air cushioned vehicle (Hovercraft) for Indian Army to reduce the casualty for flood or similar kind of disasters. ]

Sensational Bath Tub for Elderly [ Designed a product as an attachment to bath tub to give sensational experience to Elderly people who are still Libido. ]

Portable Book Shelf [ Designed a portable book shelf for book sellers who roam around the city and promote books. The whole book shelf can be possible to carry into a trolley bag. Total weight of the book shelf is 12 kg, but it can carry load of 80 kg. ]

Automatic Ticket Vending Machine [ People does not use the existing automatic ticket vending machine because of the aesthetics and its operability. So I proposed a new ATVM for Indian Railway. ]

Paper Weight [ Paper weight designed for IIT Guwahati Technocrates which shows ethics and values of the institution. ]

Chess piece [ Two sets of chess piece designed. First set shows the movement and second set in abstract form. ]Internship [ Outer form designed for Hindustan Unilever cloth washing unit. Identity designed for CEMA and Netree. ]
