Design and Analysis of Foldable Bridge: Engineering Report

This technical report presents the design and analysis of a foldable bridge, addressing the requirements of a mechanical engineering project. The report begins with an executive summary and introduction, followed by a detailed methodology section outlining the analytical approach. The problem statement defines the key objectives, including ensuring the bridge can safely accommodate 100 people. Static structural analysis, using ANSYS software, is performed, including meshing details, material properties, and boundary conditions. The analysis covers total deformation, directional deformation, and Voin-Mass stress to assess the bridge's structural integrity. Shaft analysis is also conducted to evaluate the folding mechanism. The report includes diagrams, figures, and tables to illustrate the design, analysis, and results. The goal is to assess the feasibility of the model, ensuring stress, deflection, and frequency meet the required limits. The report concludes with an overview of the findings and recommendations for further design improvements.
