Tower crane


A crane is a lifting machine, generally equipped with a winder (also called a wire rope drum), wire ropes or chains and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It uses one or more simple machines to create mechanical advantage and thus move loads beyond the normal capability of a human. Cranes are commonly employed in the transport industry for the loading and unloading of freight, in the construction industry for the movement of materials and in the manufacturing industry for the assembling of heavy equipment.

The engineer design process

- Creative process
- Problem solving - the big picture
- No single "correct" solution
- Technical aspects only small part

Elements of Design the process

- Problem Identification
- Research Phase
- Requirements Specification
- Concept Generation
- Design Phase
- Prototyping phase
- System Intergration
- Maintenance Phase

Needs Identification

- What is the problem?
1. Collect Information
2. Interpret information
3. Organize needs hierarchy
4. Determine relative importance of needs
5. Review outcomes and process

Problem Statement

Example 2.1

- Need: Drivers have difficulty seeing obstructions in all directions.
- Objective: design system to avoid accidents

Concept Generation and Evaluation

- Explore many solutions
. Brainstrom

- Select the best solution
. Based on needs and constraints

- Creativity
. Development of new ideas

- Innovation
. Bringing creative ideas to reality

Concept Generation
- Substitue
- Combine
- Adapt
- Modify
- Put to other use
-Elimate
- Rearrange or reverse

Design Group (Team)
- Engineering projects require diverse skills
- This creates a need for group (team) work

- Select members based on skills
1. Technical
2. problem- solving
3. Interpersonal

Project Management

- Define for each activity
1. Work to be done
2. Timeframe
3. Resoures
4. Responsible persons
5. Previous depenedent activities
6. Checkpoints/ deliverables for monitoring progress

Journal

week 15:
Mon 10- Had a long tiring weekend thought it would never end. But will get started on the Angle Piece design and see how far i get.
Tues 11- Tiring day yesterday now ready to get going and finishing the Angle piece plus posting another drawing called the Vertical Brace.
Wed 12- Today i have finished my Angle piece. Gonna fix some of the errors and then will be completed
thurs 13- Have started another one of my drawings today probably need more time on it.
fri 14- Dont quiet remember what i did on friday most likely work on another autocad drawing which i will finish soon.

Sectional Drawing Test Review

Part Drawing:
- Detail Drawings completely describe a single part with multiview orthographic projections.
- Should provide all the information necessary to economically manufacture a high quality part.

Assembly Drawings:
- assembly drawings are used to show the position and functional relationship of parts in assembly, also via multiview orthographic projections
- generally they have no dimensions on them.
- Parts are 'balloon' identified and referenced to either detail drawing numbers or catalog numbers, via a bill of materials (BOM)

Section View:
- section views are used to clarify internal detail and to avoid dimensioning to hidden lines.
- The are established by referencing a cutting plane
- Cutting planes depict the exact location on the part from which the section view will be projected and should have associated arrowheads, indicting the direction from which the section view will be observed
- Cutting planes are constructed as an intergral feature of the parent view, and

Mechanical Drafting

Dimensioning:

Basic Dimensioning:

What are Dimensions?

Dimensions are the text that is provided with a drawing that describe the exact size and location for the features shown. Also known as size descriptions.

Why use dimensions?
- to ensure that the part made is the part you asked for.
