A quick time out whilst nearing the end of a report. As a part of this report on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Mechanism Design we have to use mechanism design software to analyse the forces on a connecting rod within a reciprocating compressor. We then use this force result and apply it to the connecting rod within a Finite Element Analysis software program.
Extremely interesting stuff. Here’s a video of my mechanism in motion:
