The element equation of a constant strain triangular CST ele

The element equation of a constant strain triangular (CST) element shown in the figure is denoted formally as [k_11 k_12 k_13 k-14 k_15 k_16 k_21 k_22 k_23 k_24 k_25 k_26 k_31 k_32 k_33 k_34 k_35 k_36 k_41 k_42 k_43 k_44 k_45 k_46 k_51 k_52 k_53 k_54 k_55 k-56 k_61 k_62 k_63 k_64 k_65 k_66] {u-1 v_1 u_2 v_2 u_3 v_3} = {F_x1 F_y1 F_x2 F_y2 F_x3 F_y3} In the following element connectivity table of a finite element analysis, the entries of element 5 are given Indicate the positions (row and column numbers) of the 6 stiffness coefficients k_41, k_42, k_43, k_44, k_45, k_46 of element 5 in the global stiffness matrix (Assume the degrees of freedom in the global system is numbered sequentially starting from the x-displacement of node 1).

Solution

You are required to write a balanced and appealing report which must have the following headings (each heading relates to a particular assessment criteria so do not skip anything). Aim to use as many as possible images and references to demonstrate to your potential employer your depth of research as well as having something visual to present in the interview situation.

Piston Engines (PE)

a) Construction (LO 4.1)

b) Fuel, lubrication and ignition systems (LO 4.2)

c) Power plant installation focus on the evaluation (LO 4.3)

d) Propeller aerodynamics and control – consider how can you analyse its behaviour (LO 2.3)

Your report should be reasonably balanced with a similar amount of text for each section under the eight sub-headings. Each section has a minimum word limit requirement of 150 words, there is an upper limit is one A4 side per section which includes images. As a good guide approximately half one A4 side per sub-heading would be about the right length (including some small images). Each section should include at least one sourced image (all images should be referenced) and at least one reference for the reader to find further relevant information. Overall the student should attempt to use at least ten unique technical references ideally from textbooks.
