Detailed Design Process • Minor Components • Connection of tension rods to beam • Clevis • Clevis Mount
Detailed Design Process • Minor Components • Mounting brackets • Inventor-Algor compatibility issues • Manual calculations
Detailed Design Process • Minor Components • Bearings
Detailed Design Process • Minor Components • Welds • Between main beams • Top of tension rods • Clevis mount • Mounting brackets
Detailed Design Process • Minor Components • Pins and fasteners • Pivot pins • Clevis pin • Turnbuckle • Bolts
Detailed Design Process • CAD as a design tool • 3D Inventor model assisted in design • Drawings generated from Inventor
Conclusions • All design criteria met • Capacity exceeded • Most of planned work completed • Cost estimate not completed • Time lost due to inexperience
Recommendations • Re-evaluate design • Must be approved by P.Eng. • Increase capacity?
Recommendations 2 ton load at end
Recommendations 1-1/2 ton load at 7-1/2 feet
Recommendations 1-1/2 ton load at 7-1/2 feet 1-1/2 ton load at 20 feet
