INTRODUCING ‘DESIGN OF
MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT’
DESIGN OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT

“Design of Mechanical Equipment” also known as “Machine Design” has

historically occupied a prominent position in the curriculum of mechanical engineering
and emphasizes on methods of engineering problem solving as related to design,
analysis and deployment of man-machine interfaces.
Design of Mechanical Equipment is one of the most competitive P.G. programmes in
the country with candidates selected in IIT Delhi having rank up to 200 in GATE
exam. The tough competition ensures that only the best engineering talent, possess-
ing a good academic record throughout their universities and colleges get the opportu-
nity to be a part of this programme.

On joining here,
♦ The design of programme leads to hands on training on a range of machine design
methods not available in specialized programs like ITMMEC, IDDC and analysis
based programmes like Applied Mechanics.
♦ The courses in this program have integral laboratory practice, leading to thorough
grounding in problem solving practice in the field.
♦ Teaching Assistantship work (TA) work is a part of the program in all programs in
IIT Delhi. We have chosen to mentor the students through close association with
faculty through teaching assistance in practicals, projects and other administrative
activities. This gives them exposure beyond the classroom level.

I hope that you will have time to go through the brochure attached that de-
scribes their training and project in more detail. I hope that you will consider them for
opportunities commiserate with their training and capabilities.

M.Tech. project : Dynamic
Analysis Of Geared Rotor Systems
DESIGN OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT

The dynamic behavior of a geared rotor system is

not only dependant on mass imbalance as in case
of simple rotor systems, but it involves
contribution of many other complicated factors.
The analysis of geared rotor systems involves -
♦ Study of factors affecting dynamics of geared rotor systems, such as Mesh
stiffness variation, Backlash, Damping, Tooth errors, Friction etc.
♦ Establishing mathematical model of the system.
♦ Dynamic response analysis (unbalance & transient) of the model using FE
method.
♦ Extending the study to condition monitoring of geared rotor systems i.e.
predicting faults in gear teeth like crack, surface crater etc. from the vibration
response.

M.Tech. project: Electro-
Magnetic Controller For Rotor
DESIGN OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT

Vibration Control

This project proposes an active vibration control scheme for controlling

transverse vibration of a rotor shaft due to unbalance and presents a
theoretical and experimental study. The technique uses electromagnetic
exciters mounted on the stator at a plane, in general away from the
conventional support locations, around the rotor shaft for applying suitable
force of actuation over an air gap to control transverse vibration. Suitable
force of actuation is achieved by varying the control current in the exciters
depending upon a proportional and derivative control law applied to the
displacement of the rotor section fed back by pick-ups with respect to the
non-rotating position of the section taken as the reference.

M.Tech. project: Finite element analysis
of knee joint prostheses.

Total knee replacement (TKR) has long been the

standard operation to relieve pain and restore range
of motion to knee joints damaged by osteoarthritis.
But the major problem associated with TKR is
implants cost and their life. From the current available
knee implants it has been forecasted that frequency
of revision surgery will be 270 thousand per year by
2030.With the increment in the knee replacements every year the need for
the knee prostheses are increasing not only in quantity but also in quality in
terms of the life of knee implants. To achieve this goal this project is aimed to
review finite element analysis of natural knee as well as knee prostheses
under different daily routine (walking, stair raising etc.) loading cycles.

M.Tech. project : Identification
of Dynamic Forces Using Modal
DESIGN OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT

Analysis

The knowledge of dynamic forces in a me-

chanical system subject to operational excitations is beneficial from the as-
pects of design, control and diagnosis of the system. There are a great num-
ber of engineering problems where direct measurement of forces is not possi-
ble. Under such conditions, the dynamic forces are estimated by using meas-
ured responses from vibration sensors mounted on the structure. The project
work intends to develop a model of force identification technique to identify
dynamic forces (e.g. harmonic, periodic and impact) acting on arbitrary struc-
tures using measured responses, and also to study the relative performance
of the widely used techniques for force identification in frequency domain.

M.Tech. project: Dynamic Analysis
of Multistage Bladed Disc Systems

This project work deals with dynamic behavior of multistage bladed disc rotor.
The rotor may have several bladed discs on the shaft, with each disc contain-
ing fairly large number of blades. The blades may be pretwisted, tapered and
staggered, with aerofoil section. Study of vibration in multistage bladed disc is
as follows:

♦ Calculation of normal modes and natural frequencies for individual compo-

nents and complete rotor, by using any FEM software (ANSYS).
♦ The calculated natural frequencies obtained for the blade, the shaft, the
bladed discs are to be analyzed to discover the resonance conditions and
coupling effects.
♦ Investigate the effect of shaft flexibility on the dynamic characteristics of
the bladed discs and the coupling effects between the shaft and bladed
disc modes.

and Dynamic Design of Spot Welded Structures
DESIGN OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT

♦ Many structures in mechanical engineering which involve thin

metal sheets are fabricated by spot welding process. Such
structures are widely used in automobiles and transportation
industries.
♦ Due to many spot welds that go in the fabricated structures
the modeling of these spot welds has a great influence on the
dynamics of the entire spot-welded structures. SPOT WELD MODEL

♦ The current work attempts to find out the degree of co-relation that exists be-
tween the numerical models of such spot welded structures with that of dynamic
test.
♦ To improve the accuracy of the numerical model to represent the results from
dynamic test which will be done by model updating. This will be followed by
structural dynamic modified studies using updated model.

M.Tech. project: Active Vibration Control Of Rotors

The objective of the present

work is to control the transverse
vibration response of a rotor-
shaft and increase the stability
limit speed of the system by
applying based on nominal
position fed back by proximity
pick-ups. Similarly experiments
would be carried. This work has
been attempted by modeling the rotor material with the internal material
damping to predict the stability limit speed. Finite element method is used to
discretize the continuum and write the equations of motion.

M.Tech. project : Analysis and Design of a Magnetorheological
Fluid based Squeeze Film Damper with Feedback Control
DESIGN OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT

It is commonly known that about 80 to

90% of high speed rotating machinery
use ball bearings due to its light weight,
low friction, and ease in its installation,
except inherent damping characteristics.
In order to impart good damping to ball
bearings, squeeze film dampers (SFD)
based on magnetorheological fluid (MRF)
can be efficiently utilized. Use of MRF in SFD offers variable damping charac-
teristics due to change in its rheological behavior by externally applied mag-
netic field.

During operation, each element contributes to the overall vibration of the
machine. Following steps are involved in condition monitoring of gear box:
♦ Need of condition monitoring and study of causes for the defects in gears.
♦ Experiments on the gear test rig setup with the help of sensors and
software.
♦ Use of various techniques (frequency domain analysis) to analyze the
experimental results such as Frequency Spectrum, Cepstrum Analysis,
