Design Six-Bar Slider-Crank power Hammer in solid works and run simulation and calculate the objective of this design.
The objective of this project is to design and simulate a power hammer in its simplest form. The kinematic representation will break down the complexity of
the machine and convert it into a simple mechanism. The design of the mechanism will allow for better understanding of how links and joints can be used to
show motion. The motion will be caused by the motor or crank, that will be examined at different velocities and ultimately determine the amount of force being
generated. Once the desired simulation of the power hammer is completed and the mechanism functions properly, an analysis can be performed to possibly improve
its performance.
The primary objective of the project is as follows:
●Develop a kinematic representation of a power hammer used in the automobile industry, using AutoCAD
Kinematic representation will be a six-bar linkage mechanism with a crank
Make necessary calculations to ensure each link is the correct size in order for the mechanism to function
All parts will be modeled in SolidWorks with the end product being a simulation of the mechanism in full motion
Analyses of the mechanism will provide how much force can be produced by adjusting the velocity of the crank
Maintain a simple mechanical design to allow time for the project to be completed
Have a fully functioning mechanism of a power hammer which would allow for future work, as in a 3D printing of the design
