Design and model a driveshaft and rear axle for a front engine system, rear wheel drive automotive vehicle. It is to include connections for engine/gearbox and rear wheels.
Following appropriate use of design tools and techniques, including requirements analysis, idea and concept generation and concept selection a detailed concept should be proposed to satisfy the customer requirements. A report should detail the selected design proposals and should demonstrate clear understanding of:
Ø The requirement to be satisfied and the current state of art in the market place.
Ø Competitor analysis
Ø Forces associated with the operation and behaviour of your solution (Minimum expectations include free body diagrams, appropriate formulae, numerical values)
Ø Materials, manufacturing & cost.
Ø Concept generation techniques, included detailed sketches.
Ø Concept selection methodologies.
Ø Consideration of material, manufacturing, cost.
Ø Safety and standard compliance
Ø Technological advancements in the product area
Ø 3D models of your components and a Fully Assembly model
Ø 2D drawings to BS8888, including a Bill of Materials
Ø Practicality, detail & validation of the final proposal to include DFMA and FMAE analyses
Ø Detailed Free Body Diagrams and appropriate engineering analysis in consideration of loads and stresses
