Brief – Centrifugal Clutch Design
The aim of this assignment is to use industrial CAD systems to solve an engineering design problem.
Using a range of CAD and Simulation tools you are to design a Centrifugal Clutch. The assessment will be based on a Design Report highlighting your design work and use of CAD to solve an engineering problem.
The report will contain the following elements:
This is an individual assignment; you are to design a suitable centrifugal clutch to match a specific engine. An engine specification will be given to you and will be different for each student.
Learning Outcomes
1. Analyse and compare the hardware requirements of different CAD systems. Identify and distinguish between the different types of CAD software: 2D draughting, 3D modelling (wire-frame, surface, solid), and other relevant systems
2. Use industrial standard CAD systems to produce the following: 3D CAD models, 2D engineering drawings.
3. Use industrial standard CAD and FEA systems to solve engineering design problems.
4. Analyse and model engineering situations using ordinary differential equations and solve ODEs.
5. Solve mathematical models of physical systems using simulation methods.
Technical Requirements
Engine Specifications
An engine specification will be given to you from the range of small Honda Engines. (do not choose your own) The Honda GX GC or GS engine range is a popular range of engines for a wide range of applications and it is common to use Centrifugal Clutches on these engines.
Each engine specification contains Performance Curves for information on Power, Torque and Engine Speed (rpm) as well as Technical Drawings of the PTO shaft. (Power Take-off shaft). Samples are shown below – Note: your engine specification may be different to these.
Design Report
You will be assessed via a Design Report, liberally illustrated Technical Report. Most of the content is expected to be detailed Screen Shots/Images of your design. Graphical Results of your Motion Simulations are also expected. The report should also include initial design concepts and calculations related to the design.
It should be written in 3rd person, past tense with a logical numbered Chapter system. Research used for Part 1 should be correctly referenced
Report Structure:
1. Analyse and compare the hardware requirements of different CAD systems. Identify and distinguish between the different types of CAD software: 2D draughting, 3D modelling (wire-frame, surface, solid), and other relevant systems
(a) Research typical CAD/PC systems used currently in industry. Consider PC / Hardware requirements for different CAD systems (include Processor/s, Monitors, Graphics Cards, Digitisers, RAM, Print/Plot devices). Describe how these might be configured in a typical Design Office.
(b) Show examples of the different types of CAD used in industry, include examples of 2D Drawing, 3D Solid Modelling, 3D Wire-Frame/Surface Modelling and any other relevant systems. Do not include vendor names of software i.e. SolidWorks, Catia, AutoCAD. Focus on the different types of CAD software that is available.
2. Use industrial standard CAD systems to produce the following: 3D CAD models, 2D engineering drawings.
With appropriate Screenshots and Descriptions show 3D Models and 2D Drawings of your design with descriptions to
(a) 3D CAD Part Models of Clutch Design
(b) 3D Assembly of Clutch Design
(c) 2D Detail Drawings of parts to be Manufactured i.e. Drum, Shoes, Backplate etc. (do not include standard parts i.e. nuts, bolts, springs, fasteners etc.)
3. Use industrial standard CAD and FEA systems to solve engineering design problems.
(a) Initial design calculations to predict behaviour of clutch design and establish boundary conditions.
(b) FEA Simulation of Clutch Shoe under maximum load conditions
(c) Motion Analysis of Clutch to show engagement

$8How Our Essay Writing Service Works
First, you will need to complete an order form. It's not difficult but, in case there is anything you find not to be clear, you may always call us so that we can guide you through it. On the order form, you will need to include some basic information concerning your order: subject, topic, number of pages, etc. We also encourage our clients to upload any relevant information or sources that will help.
Complete the order form
Once we have all the information and instructions that we need, we select the most suitable writer for your assignment. While everything seems to be clear, the writer, who has complete knowledge of the subject, may need clarification from you. It is at that point that you would receive a call or email from us.
Writer’s assignment
As soon as the writer has finished, it will be delivered both to the website and to your email address so that you will not miss it. If your deadline is close at hand, we will place a call to you to make sure that you receive the paper on time.
