A Critical Technology Element (CTE) is a new or novel technology that a platform or system depends on to achieve successful development or production or to successfully meet a system operational threshold requirement. Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) are a method of estimating technology maturity of CTE of a program during the Acquisition Process. They are determine during a Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) that examines program concepts, technology requirements, and demonstrated technology capabilities.

Design failure modes and effects analysis (dfmea) of an all terrain vehicleeSAT Journals
Abstract Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) organizes a student engineering design competition named Baja in which an All-terrain vehicle (ATV) is designed and fabricated by undergraduate engineering students. ATV is a vehicle that can run on a wide variety of terrains and travels on low-pressure tires with a seat straddled by the operator. SAE BAJA involves designing and fabrication of a modified and scaled down smaller version of ATV. Starting from initial design and analysis to actual fabrication of ATV, everything is done by the students. As in any engineering design, there is a constant need to design a safe and sustainable vehicle. This involves predicting and defining all failure modes in the initial design step itself. An effective method of doing this failure analysis is DFMEA (Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis), which is an extension of popular Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) technique and is done in the design stage. In this paper DFMEA technique is used to list out all modes of failure for various components of the ATV, its causes, effects and ways of preventing it. Risk Priority Number methodology of FMEA is used to find out the components which are more susceptible to failure and needs more attention than others. Keywords: All Terrain Vehicles (ATV), Baja SAE, Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), Risk Priority Number (RPN)

Every manufacturing product requires cost efficient method and its variation in application maintaining its natural structure as well as assign service life keeping failure parameters in mind we are focused on our intention of designing, modifying and analyzing the jack model for actual loads for varying models on different applications. We are keen at making the scissor jack cost effective and at the same time maintaining its strength and life span. Also the new design that made by SOLIDWORKS software can be tested by ANSYS software. The overall strength of the jack is relatively more compared to commercially available screw jacks. Car jacks that are commercially available has some disadvantages such as required more energy to operate, not usable for aged people and cannot be used on the uneven and rough surface. The main purpose and significance of this paper is to design, optimize and standardize the current toggle jack to make the task easier and reliable. Ekhalak Ansari | Udham Singh | Vikas Jangid | P.

An automotive jack is a device used to raise all or part of a vehicle into the air in order to facilitate repairs. Most people are familiar with the basic car jack (manually operated) that is still included as standard equipment with most new cars. These days, a car jack is an important tool to have in our vehicle due to unknown upcoming event such as flat tire in our journey. Even so, people who like to rotate their tires themselves or who may install snow tires before the winter and remove them in the spring need to use a jack to perform the job. Changing a flat tire is not a very pleasant experience. Women have a much lighter skeleton that means, among other things, woman can’t pull more forces as well as men and are at greater risk of skeletal injuries. Usually the car purposely tries to get a flat tire at the least opportune moments.

Stress and Durability Analysis of Threaded Connections in a Cast Aluminum Cyl...Altair
Bolted connections involve sharp notched components that are therefore sensitive to fatigue loading. In internal combustion engines, the journal bearings of the crankshaft are supported by bearing caps which are bolted to the cylinder block. These threaded connections are a fatigue concern as cracking may be experienced on dynamometer tests of new engines. The critical element of this application however is not the steel studs rather the threaded bolt holes in the cast engine block. While the nominal stress concept is applicable to the fatigue design of studs, a local stress approach has to be adopted to assess the fatigue strength of threaded bolt holes.
This paper addresses the fatigue design of this kind of threaded connection. Initially alternate methods of FE modeling and analysis of threaded joints by the local approach are critically examined. The parallel development of a simplified experimental test system involving a threaded hole in cast AlSi7 is described and used to generate baseline fatigue data under known loading conditions. The fatigue behavior of the experimental system is then analyzed on the basis of alternate FE models and post processing approaches. Finally, recommendations for the accurate and computationally efficient FE modeling and durability analysis of threaded connections in cast aluminum cylinder block are outlined.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
