Case Study: End of Life Decisions
George is a successful attorney in his mid-fifties. He is also a
legal scholar, holding a teaching post at the local university law
school in Oregon. George is also actively involved in his
teenage son’s basketball league, coaching regularly for their
team. Recently, George has experienced muscle weakness and
unresponsive muscle coordination. He was forced to seek
medical attention after he fell and injured his hip. After an
examination at the local hospital following his fall, the
attending physician suspected that George may be showing early
symptoms for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a
degenerative disease affecting the nerve cells in the brain and
spinal cord. The week following the initial examination, further
testing revealed a positive diagnosis of ALS.
ALS is progressive and gradually causes motor neuron
deterioration and muscle atrophy to the point of complete
muscle control loss. There is currently no cure for ALS, and the
median life expectancy is between 3 and 4 years, though it is
not uncommon for some to live 10 or more years. The
progressive muscle atrophy and deterioration of motor neurons
leads to the loss of the ability to speak, move, eat, and breathe.
However, sight, touch, hearing, taste, and smell are not
affected. Patients will be wheelchair bound and eventually need
permanent ventilator support to assist with breathing. George
and his family are devastated by the diagnosis. George knows
that treatment options only attempt to slow down the
degeneration, but the symptoms will eventually come. He will
eventually be wheelchair bound and be unable to move, eat,
speak, or even breathe on his own.
In contemplating his future life with ALS, George begins to
dread the prospect of losing his mobility and even speech. He
imagines his life in complete dependence upon others for basic
everyday functions and perceives the possibility of eventually
degenerating to the point at which he is a prisoner in his own

3. body. Would he be willing to undergo such torture, such loss of
his own dignity and power? George thus begins inquiring about
the possibility of voluntary euthanasia.

Coursework Assignment Task 1 – FEA/Design Analysis of a
Part Subjected to Loading Submission Date: 3pm Thursday 21st
May 2020 (50% of Module Mark)
Problem Outline
Mixed material solid supports are widely used in various
applications in engineering, including oil and gas, energy, and
aerospace industries. Depending on the contents, the fabrication
processes and the service conditions there is often a level of
safety required with the mounting, work life and use of such
components. It is therefore very important that safety margins
are considered and well met in designing these components.
The main objective of this specific assignment is to recognise
this matter and to practice the safe design through the use of
sophisticated finite element analysis commercial software.
Choice of Tasks
There are 2 solid components that you are to analyse, refine and
report. The choice of component is up to you. These are, in
increasing level of difficulty:
Part (a) - An Axle Mount, consisting steel and brass metals.
Suitable for 3D modelling only. Redesign and Rendering
required. Moderate difficulty.
Part (b) - A Vehicle Suspension Mount, consisting of steel.
Suitable for complex 3D modelling only, No redesign required,
but you must measure and adapt the geometry yourself. You are
not limited to using Abaqus for this process. There are 2 x
external connections that are not required to be modelled, but
you must find methods of modelling appropriate constraints.
Advanced difficulty.
Please note: Basic setup support will be given on BB for all
tasks. The main aim of this coursework is to not to follow

5. instructions, but to use your own skills to model a part. You
will be expected to independently:
· Estimate and adapt loading conditions
· Apply suitable boundary conditions that represent the use of
the part
· Partition and mesh the models without guidance
· Adapt the geometrical features of the part to minimise stress
Choice of Parts:
PART A - AXLE MOUNT
Sketch and measurement data will be provided for this part,
suitable for 3D modelling. Steel & Brass should both be used.
Implementing this part requires meshing, refinement and
redesign. Partitioning will be needed to obtain an appropriate
mesh. A plot of stresses (radial and hoop) through the central
axis should be presented.
PART B - SUSPENSION MOUNT
This is a real, used support from a vehicle. You will need to
measure the part and create a 3D model. A 3D laser scan will
be provided for reference. The main skill is this part lies in
defining the geometry and replicating the load conditions.
Graded Difficulty in Relation to Tasks
It is important to choose a task that you are confident of
modelling correctly without extensive support. All parts, when
modelling and reported correctly, are capable of being awarded
marks on any point on the markscheme (see final page).
However, there are only small developments and improvements
possible with Part (a), moderate developments and
improvements possible with Part (a), and major developments
and improvements possible with Part (b).
This graded difficulty increases the amount of independent
ability and initiative you will have to implement and then

6. report. Following the allocated markscheme, this is how more
skill, research and initiative will translate into higher marks.
· You are entitled to change the task you have chosen at any
time.
· For all parts, a full report that details the modelling, analysis
and refinement is required to be submitted (10 pages max) and
the Abaqus files for your modelled part.
· Staff support in CAD Labs for 702024 for your coursework is
limited. You may use the SHU facilities at any time, but do not
expect to be allocated extra resources for this coursework.
· You will be expected to work fully independently.
· You should not submit any work that is the result of
collaboration.
Goals - (Applies for Parts a & b)
Goal 1: To produce an accurate geometrical model of the part in
question, using appropriate materials and boundary conditions.
This can be done with any software available. Reporting on
meshing, seeding, element choice and any mesh refinements
should be included. The following items should be delivered:
· 2D or 3D Sketches
· Axis-symmetric or 3D Parts
· Material properties (Young's, Poisson, Yield Point -
appropriately referenced)
· Boundary Conditions (fixed points, symmetries, supports, etc.)
· Seeding & Meshing
· Element types and justifications
Goal 2: To predict the structural performance of the mount in
question, and make recommendations for design improvements.
You will be given basic loading conditions to start the model
working, but will need to estimate more appropriate static
loadings that push the materials used to the point of yield
stresses. This section should include several appropriate
recording of values concerning:

7. · Static Loading (Forces, Moments, Displacements)
· Stress (Max. Principal, Von-Mises),
· Deflection & Directional Strains,
· Yield Stress of material(s) with reference to appropriate safety
factors,
· Predicted points of Failure.
Goal 3: To refine/redesign the geometry and materials such that
the safety of the mount is improved notably. This should
involve reducing the maximum stresses around points of loading
to a safe level. You may also change the minor features of the
part (hole diameters, fillets, chamfering) in order to reduce
stress concentrations. Different grades of material may be
substituted to improve the load-bearing potential. This section
should include proposals to:
· Reduce Maximum Stresses (to below yield points)
· Minimise Maximum Deflection
· Partitions & introduction of improved material choices
· Smooth surfaces & corners, re-rending the new design
· Demonstrate the improved performance of the redesigned part.
Advanced Goals - (Applies for all Parts)
If possible within the task timeframe, some extra details for
completion are suggested, such as:
· Imported specific material data (i.e. ASTM standard materials)
· Multiple load cases, pre-defined fields, displacements via
boundary conditions
· Plastic deformation at points of high stress (using non-linear
materials data)
· Stress calculations, i.e. Von Mises (where geometry allows)
All changes and results should be reported in a concise,
technical format.
