Design and Analysis of a Glass Fibre Trolley

Article Preview

Abstract:

This project is based on design and analysis of a glass fibre trolley, for carrying engineering components, other materials at an engine manufacturing plant. Currently AISI 1020 mild steel trolleys are used for moving the goods around the stores or assembly area. These are simple in design but hefty, with four rollers but no braking mechanism. Use of glass fiber as a trolley material is advisable. Stress analysis has been performed for a typical load. This project will ensure weight reduction as well as an improved design, that makes use of electro pneumatic braking system.
