WHO | WHAT | WHY This is the framework of a great story. And how to describe your tasks. We call work items "stories" because they explain an event from the perspective of the end user. 'Jack and Jane when up a hill to fetch a pail of water' WHO are they? Jack & Jill WHAT are they doing? Walking up a hill WHY are they doing it? To fetch a pail of water User-based tasks not only focuses work to the main goal but also provides clarity to everyone else. If we were building a car we wouldn't say: WHO: A mechanical engineer WHAT: Wants to build a driver's seat WHY: So the driver has a place to sit down You focus on the end user: WHO: The driver of our luxury vehicle WHAT: Wants an ergonomic driving experience WHY: To feel comfortable and in control when driving the vehicle Feel the difference? You can continue as specific as you like. WHO | WHAT | WHY The formula for a great story.

Why motorcycles don't have driveshaft instead of chain sprockets? Main disadvantages compared to chain or belt drive :- -More weight (heavier) -More seals/moving parts. -More expensive. -absorbs more power (Hp) from the engine. Mechanical Engineer must take cost, efficiency and reliability into design considerations. #Mechanical #Design #Reliability #Motorcycle #Chain #driveshaft #Cost #Quality #Efficiency

Design for Assembly (DFA) is a design approach that focuses on simplifying the assembly process by designing products with ease of assembly in mind. It aims to minimize the number of components, reduce assembly time, and eliminate unnecessary complexity. By designing products with DFA principles, manufacturers can reduce production costs, improve product quality, and increase efficiency. In the context of Lingdale, DFA design would involve optimizing product design to reduce assembly time and costs, enabling the company to streamline its manufacturing process and improve overall productivity. By adopting DFA design principles, Lingdale can reap significant benefits, including reduced production times, lower costs, and improved product reliability. #mechanicalengineering #manufacturing #mechanicaldesign

Throughout my academic journey, I have encountered numerous challenges, yet in the realm of mechanical engineering, I have honed my expertise across various domains. Presently, I take pride in having developed a four-cylinder engine, marking a significant achievement in my ability to conceptualize and engineer intricate components for automobiles. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to delve into more complex design projects, further augmenting my proficiency in this dynamic field. #engineeringdesign #automobile #mechanicalengineering

As a mechanical designer, I often find myself calculating required torque by incorporating measurement results, such as pull force, including the friction part, rather than relying solely on calculated values.  In my experience, the effects of actual frictions are not so simple that they can be calculated through basic calculations like multiplying the dynamic friction coefficient to the force. This is why I find measurement results of the prototype of that part to be more reliable.  I wonder if anyone else agrees with this approach? While designing using actuators sold by various companies, calculating using each formula that the companies provide on the instruction is enough. However, for designs that include parts that involve friction, it is the designer's job to consider the content of the calculation formula itself.  What are your thoughts on this? #mechanicaldesign #torquecalculation #friction #prototyping #engineering

When I heard "𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠" as a child, I imagined something heavy, like big gears and massive machines. ⚙️🌟 But as I delved deeper into this field, I realized it’s not always about heavy and hard. Mechanical engineering is also about 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛, 𝑠𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑛𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛. Take the iPhone, for example. 📱 It’s a marvel of mechanical engineering, packed with intricate components and delicate mechanisms that work seamlessly to bring us technology at our fingertips. As well as behind the sence of every product is ''design for manufacturing''. Its a great process of mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering isn't just about brawn; it's also about finesse and creativity. It's about merging the old with the new to create something extraordinary. #MechanicalEngineering #Innovation #Design #Technology #EngineeringExcellence #manufacturing

#DFA (#Design_for_Assembly) in mechanical engineering is a design approach that focuses on simplifying the assembly process of a product. It aims to reduce the time, cost, and effort required to assemble a product by: 1. Minimizing the number of parts 2. Simplifying part geometry 3. Standardizing components 4. Designing for easy assembly sequences 5. Reducing fasteners and connectors 6. Using self-locating features 7. Designing for accessibility Benefits of DFA in mechanical engineering: 1. Reduced assembly time and cost 2. Improved product quality 3. Increased manufacturability 4. Simplified maintenance and repair 5. Reduced material waste 6. Improved product reliability 7. Enhanced design flexibility #DFA_techniques: 1. Part reduction 2. Part simplification 3. Standardization 4. Modular design 5. Self-assembly 6. Design for assembly automation 7. Virtual assembly By applying DFA principles, mechanical engineers can create products that are easier to assemble, maintain, and repair, resulting in cost savings, improved quality, and increased customer satisfaction. #mechanical #toyota #bosch #tata #design #assembly #foxconn #manufacturing #parts #engineer
