Abstract
As market competition and computational technologies grow, engineering design and development process heavily relies on the computer modelling, simulation and prototype manufacturing to accelerate the development cycles and to save the cost. This article intends to use finite element method as a structural optimization tool and 3D additive manufacturing for manufacturing of prototype to optimize the weight and strength of fuel filter cap of 5HP, 1500 rpm water cooled comet diesel engine within the lesser time cycle. The developed fuel filter cap is manufactured through the stages of pattern making using 3D printing machine, casting of cap by sand casting process, finishing operations and subsequently tested on the comet diesel engine testing set up. The development work has resulted in 48.67% stress reduction and 17.87% reduction in the weight of the fuel filter cap.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Review is an international journal designed to foster the exchange of ideas and transfer of knowledge between scientists and engineers involved in various engineering sciences that deal with investigations related to design, materials, technology, maintenance and manufacturing processes. It is not limited to the specific details of science and engineering but is instead devoted to a very wide range of subfields in the engineering sciences. It provides an appropriate resort for publishing the papers covering prior applications – based on the research topics comprising the entire engineering spectrum. Topics of particular interest thus include: mechanical engineering, naval architecture and marine engineering, fundamental engineering sciences, electrical engineering, computer sciences and civil engineering. Manuscripts addressing other issues may also be considered if they relate to engineering oriented subjects. The contributions, which may be analytical, numerical or experimental, should be of significance to the progress of mentioned topics. Papers that are merely illustrations of established principles or procedures generally will not be accepted. Occasionally, the magazine is ready to publish high-quality-selected papers from the conference after being renovated, expanded and written in accordance with the rules of the magazine. The high standard of excellence for any of published papers will be ensured by peer-review procedure. The journal takes into consideration only original scientific papers.
