The discipline of machine
design and mechanical engineering is the strongest capability of
Farmer's engineers. The realm of mechanical design components subject to
stress, strain and strength requirements includes, but is not limited to,
the design and analysis of the following: Design for both Static
and Fatigue Loading Cases
by Conventional Analytical Methods
and Finite Element Analysis:
- Screws, fasteners (bolts) and special
bolted connections subject to a wide array of environmental and
influencing constraints
- Welded, brazed and bonded joints
- Mechanical springs and spring
assemblies
- Rolling contact and journal bearings
implementing the latest concepts from tribology and wear
- Gear design based on AGMA and
conventional mechanical engineering methods, spur, helical, bevel,
worms, etc.
- Shafting of all types, service and
requirements
- Rotating equipment components such as
clutches, brakes, couplings and flywheels
- Special flexible mechanical components
such as belt, chain and rope drives
Finite
element analysis of a rotating spindle subject to an external torque and
evaluated using the maximum shear stress theory of failure.
