My project assignment for this semester revolves around redesigning and optimizing the front upright of the car. Although the team already has a designed upright, my team’s goal
is to optimize the front upright to achieve maximum efficiency in terms of its weight and strength distribution. The main goal of our project is to determine the best possible design that minimizes the front uprights weight, while maximizing efficiency in handling stress during operation.
We will do this by researching stress topology optimization of the front upright as shown in the figure. Topology optimization is defined as
a mathematical method which spatially optimizes the
distribution of a material within a defined domain, by
fluffing given constraints previously established and
minimizing a predefined cost function. In our case, the
cost function is weight, and the constraint we are trying to maximum is stress handling of the upright. An idea that I had for stress optimization is to simulate different stress and pressure loads on the front upright CAD’ed model. Then, using AI, determine the regions where stress is minimum and redesign the upright minus those minimum regions. Through this, we could reduce the weight of the upright while keeping is structural integrity and stress handling capabilities.

Problem 3: A small gearing system in your brand-new 3D printer fails as you were printing,
leading to an overload in the motor and a fire in your home. The fire spreads, burning half of
Everglades National Park in the worst environmental disaster in US history.
The printer company blames you! Stating that you must have been misusing the printer some-
how. Use your engineering knowledge to "show those jerks you mean business!"
You investigate and find a serial number on the gears and type it into Google, finding the
company that manufactures the gears. Their website provides some info that this series of gear is
made from AISI 4340 steel and the yield strength is 125 kpsi.
Assuming each gear tooth acts as a small cantilever, prove to the 3D printer company that they
are liable for the fire.

At an intersection car B was traveling south and car A was traveling 30° north of east when they slammed into each other.
Upon investigation, it was found that after the crash, the two cars got stuck and skidded off at an angle of 10° north of east.
Each driver claimed that he was going at the speed limit of 50 km/h and that he tried to slow down, but couldn't avoid the
crash because the other driver was going a lot faster. The masses of cars A and B were 1500 kg and 1200 kg, respectively.

Problem 2:
It is important when designing ships to ensure that gyroscopic effect of the mounted turbine engine and its
direction (torque reaction of the gyroscopic effect) are well identified prior to mounting the engine along with
body axis. Your role in a team working in ship manufacturing company is to analyse the mounting process and
calculate the required information to prevent any expected gyroscopic effect on the ship navigation line (no
unwanted steering of the ship due to gyroscopic torque). Your manger asked you to provide detailed report of
your calculations and final professional recommendations after giving you the following information:
- The mounted engine rotates anticlockwise at 8000 rpm, when viewed from front.
- The moment of inertia of all the rotating parts are 230 kg.m².
The ship makes a right-hand turn of radius of 400 m at speed of 2.2 m/s.

You have been asked by your supervisors at A&L Engineering to design a roller coaster for a new theme park. Because this design is in the initial stages, you have been asked to create a track for the ride. Your coaster should have at least two peaks and two valleys, and launch from an initial height of 75 meters. Each peak and valley should represent a vertical change of at least 20 meters. In your design, you should plan for a mass between 400 and 600 kilograms.
Once you have designed the track, you have been asked to calculate the kinetic energy, potential energy, momentum, and work done by the cart at various points throughout the track. Unless otherwise stated, you can ignore the effects of friction. Following your calculations, you have been asked to describe the energy transfers detailed by these equations.
