...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Problem Definition The rated power generated from the engine of a heavy duty vehicle can only become useful when effectively transmitted from the engine via the fly wheel to the transmission system of the truck and finally to the final drive. The propeller shaft or the drive shaft which is the mechanical component used for transmitting torque and rotation is used in transmitting these generated power to the final drive. However, when the Ghana Armed Forces introduced the Chinese made Dong Feng trucks which are five ton troop carrying vehicles (TCVs) for its operations, their propeller shafts recorded a high rate of failure. This inevitably affected the morale of troops and the operations of the Ghana Armed Forces. Some drivers of the truck fearing the propeller shaft failure could result in accident, hanged nylon rope or chain under the trucks to prevent a failed shaft from striking the ground. Below are pictures to that effect. This project therefore aims at identifying the causes of the failures of propeller shafts and recommend mitigating measures to them. Fig. 1.1 Nylon Rope Beneath the Propeller Shaft 1.2 Objectives The objectives of this project work are: * To identify the causes of propeller shaft failure of heavy duty trucks at the Base Workshop. * To recommend mitigating and preventive measures to the problems. 1.3 Justification It is anticipated that the findings of this project will...

...The bearing industry Bearings industry of various sizes and specifications found their way into everything from space shuttles to household appliances, automobiles, dentist drills, roller skates, and computer disk drives. The bearing industry was facing a variety of complex problems. Policies favoring the steel industry were not always in the best interest of the bearing industry, which, as manufacturers of secondary steel products, was in the middle of the production chain. Because bearings were essential components of military and civilian machinery and equipment, the federal government had historically been a major customer. By following the life Cycle we have the stages of the industry in U.S which Timken operates: [pic] Start-up : Before 1990 , with increasing competition from Europe and Japan, the industry started a new segment .

...Ball Bearing Drop Lab Bijay Gurung Nathan Wells September 21, 2014 Physics 2425 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to calculate the gravity constant. Procedure: The materials needed for this experiments are standard mechanism which includes the time calculator, bearing, and a ruler. Student has to measure the distance of mechanism. Further we have to setup the mechanism by placing the bearing ball in the holding mechanism a distance h above the impact sensor. Once the bearing ball is released, an electronic timer will begin and finally halt once the steel ball has hit the impact plate. One student in a group records the time and repeats the trial for fifteen times. The free fall time, t, can then be used along with the distance h to calculate the acceleration of gravity. Theory: After obtaining the data, we have to convert the distance from cm to m. 1 cm=0.01m. The total height from where the bearing was drop is 173.7 cm=1.737m. We can find the acceleration due to gravity or g value by using the formula, g=2h/t^2, where ‘g’ is the acceleration due to gravity, ‘h’ is the height where bearing was drop from, & ‘t’ is time taken by bearing to hit the floor. For example, for the first trial we have the height of 1.737m, and time it takes was 0.5924s. We can calculate the ‘g’ value by, g=2h/t^2 g=2*1.737m/(0.5924s)^2=9.899 m/s^2 We can also use graphic calculator to find the time. In order to find the “g” by using graphic calculator, we have to list...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 History A forklift (also called a lift truck, a high/low, a stacker-truck, trailer loader, side loader or a fork hoist) is a powered industrial truck used to lift and transport materials. The modern forklift was developed in the 1920s by various companies including the transmission manufacturing company Clark and the hoist company Yale & Towne Manufacturing. The forklift has since become an indispensable piece of equipment in manufacturing and warehousing operations. The middle 19th century through the early 20th century saw the developments that led to today's modern forklifts. The Pennsylvania Railroad in 1906 introduced battery powered platform trucks for moving luggage at their Altoona, Pennsylvania train station. World War I saw the development of different types of material handling equipment in the United Kingdom by Ransomes, Sims and Jeffries of Ipswich. This was in part due to the labor shortages caused by the war. In 1917 Clark in the United States began developing and using powered tractor and powered lift tractors in their factories. In 1919 the Towmotor Company and Yale & Towne Manufacturing in 1920 entered the lift truck market in the United States. Continuing development and expanded use of the forklift continued through the 1920s and 1930s. World War II, like World War I before, spurred the use of forklift trucks in the war effort. Following the war, more efficient methods for storing products in warehouses were being...

...in the bearing industry by combining more than 100 years of bearing manufacturing and development experience. Because the two companies shared many of the same customers but had few products in common, customers would surely appreciate that Timken’s sales representatives could meet more of their needs. Timken’s potential annual cost savings from consolidating manufacturing facilities and processes were estimated to be more than $80 million. If the price paid for Torrington were too high, Ingersoll-Rand, rather than Timken, would capture the value of the synergies. In addition, given the large size of the acquisition, Timken was concerned about the impact on its balance sheet. If Ingersoll-Rand demanded a cash deal and if Timken raised the money with new debt, the increased leverage would almost certainly prompt credit agencies to downgrade Timken’s investment-grade rating. The Bearing Industry Bearings of various sizes and specifications found their way into everything from space shuttles to household appliances, automobiles, dentist drills, roller skates, and computer disk drives. In 2001, U.S. establishments involved in ball- and roller-bearing manufacturing employed more than 33,000 workers. The bearing industry was facing a variety of complex problems. Policies favoring the steel industry did not always consider the best interests of the bearing industry, which, as manufacturers of secondary steel products, was in the middle of the production chain.

The presence of defects in a bearing results in reduced efficiency or in some cases severe damage to the machine which is under consideration. Rolling element bearing is an indispensable part of any machine which finds widespread domestic and industrial applications. Different methods are used for detection and diagnosis of the bearing defects. This research is intended as a tutorial overview of bearing fault detection using vibration analysis. The advent of the microprocessor has enormously advanced the process of vibration data acquisition and analysis in recent years. Measurement that took hours only two decades ago can now be completed in minutes and better decisions made because of better data acquisition and presentation. However, the basic process of measurement and analysis have remained essentially unchanged, just like the machines from which vibrations is measured. The results of the measurement and data analysis need to be compared with known standards or guidelines and decisions made as to whether the machine is acceptable...

...PERFORMING THE PLATE BEARING TEST Summary: In the international literature there is often confusion between the terms Modulus of Elasticity EYoung and Modulus of Deformation EDef for homogenous, isotropic masses, which, sometimes, plainly referred as Modulus E, without any further explanation. In this paper a distinction between the EYoung and the EDef is being done and the interest is concentrated in the Plate Bearing Test, which is commonly used in highway earthworks. Moreover, a soil classification diagram is given, in which the soils are classified by their shear strength parameters and their behavior, as totally elastic or elastoplastic, under specific loading applied by rigid circular plate. Finally, a method for the estimation of the soil parameters is proposed, using only the in-situ Plate Bearing Test. The study and the documentation were supported by a presentation of theoretical examples, based on the Finite Element Method. 1. INTRODUCTION In highway earthworks the knowledge of the Modulus of Elasticity of the soils is very important, whether the projects are in the stage of design, construction or compaction check and this is required to be obtained by an easy manner. Due to the complexity and difficulty in determining the Modulus of Elasticity in the laboratory by the Triaxial Test, which is usually not available on the worksite, the common practice for the designer is to determine the Modulus of Deformation with the in situ and easier Plate Bearing Test. It must be...
