GROUP NUMBER: 8
Engineering analysis is important for any product. When a design proposal is ready to be tested,
testing the mechanical and structural characteristics is very important. This analysis including
safety analysis, as many of these characteristics will determine how safety the design will be
under specific conditions. In this report also includes with the detail of the project management
and cost analysis for our product. All the analysis is needed to perform a complete product with
the desire specifications that meet customer requirement.
Thickness 1.6 mm
Yield Strength 440 MPa
Material properties for our actual product, we have decided to use mild steel. We have chosen
to use 1 inch x 1 inch hollow mild steel with 1.6 mm thickness. This mild steel is the most
important material of our product because this material has been used the main frame of our
product. So, the main frame must be strong to accommodate the load.
2.0.2 Finite Element Analysis
2.0.2.1 Total Deformation
Total deformation is the transformation of a body when load is applied. We determine the total
deformation because we want to test our project whether the product is rupture or not when the
load is applied. Figure 6.1 shows the total deformation for our product which is the maximum
is 4.9013e-002 mm. This total deformation was analysed with load at 156.96 N and will get an
average at 1.7e-002. At this maximum value, this product cannot be rupture and it can be used
safely.
2.0.2.2 Equivalent Stress Von Mises
Equivalent Stress
Time (s) Minimum (MPa) Maximum (MPa) Average (MPa)
1.0 0 4.9012e-002 1.7e-002
Von Mises is a theoretical measure of stress used to estimate yield failure criteria in ductile
materials and is also popular in fatigue strength calculations. For our simulation, we have
applied 156.96 N load. After the load is applied, we can see that the maximum value of the
equivalent stress von mises is 4.9012e-002. Based on our observation, we can confirm the
material that have been chosen can sustain the amount of load applied.
2.0.2.3 Equivalent Elastic Strain Von Mises
The equivalent elastic strain is defined as the limit for the values of strain up to which the
object will rebound and come back to the original shape upon the removal of the load. For
our simulations, the maximum value that have been gained is 2.7123e-005. As the Figure 2.3
shown, our frame does not change into red colour which means the equivalent elastic strain
value is suitable for the material of our product.

2.0.4 Discussion
Based on the result that already obtained by simulation and calculation, we point out some
difference that we can compare in term of Factor of Safety (F0S). For the simulation, we are
using ANSYS software to calculate it. We applied the load to the cast steel material that have
344 MPa yield strength to the frame. We choose cast steel as the material in the software
because there is no actual material that we used for fabricating which is mild steel that have
yield strength 440 MPa. If you can see the result that we got, the value in ANSYS software is
4.2245. However, for the theoretical calculation, we use mild steel as the material reference to
calculate the safety factor because we use it in the actual process to fabricate our product. The
result that we get is 4.642 so, there is slightly different between simulation and calculation
because the difference of yield strength. Last but not least, after the simulation and calculation
we can conclude that our product is safely to use.

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a deliverable project into smaller part or activity in order
to organise the team members into more manageable work. It presents the hierarchical structure
of activities to support the set goal as shown in Figure… The project goal is first established and
the key activities that have the support values to the goal are determined. Work Breakdown is
very significant to ensure each team member performs on the same path. Fo r our product, we
separated the activities into three section which is paperwork, product fabrication and
engineering drawing. All the activities have been listed with some fractional activities to fulfil
the main activities.

Operation Breakdown (OBS) is a structured approach that involves structuring and integrating
team members in order to divide activities and achieve previously established goals. OBS
defines the role and responsibilities of each team member for smooth and clear project
management. In this section, the overall organisational chart is set up with each functional
work. A team leader with quality and responsibility for guiding, instructing, and controlling
the team to achieve the team goal should be part of the organisational structure. In order to
support the group work, the team member shows some effort in committing and getting
involved in the works that are related to the goal of the group project. The structure of an
organisational chart can be shown in figure
4.0 FINANCE ANALYSIS
4.0.1 Material Cost
For the material cost, the cost for each component has been decided. The material cost is
needed to set the budget for the product. This cost is based on the actual material that we have
already bought with the actual price. The cost for knapsack sprayer is RM 41.50 per unit and
RM 25 for sprocket and chain. There are three tires needed in this project and it cost RM
119. The cost for hollow mild steel is RM 38 and it required mild steel angle that cost RM 45.
Next, the cost for a unit ball bearing is RM 15 and it needed five units for these components.
The cost for nozzle and nozzle hose is RM 35. Next, the total cost for 3 units shafts that cost
RM 53. Furthermore, the price for zinc is RM 28 per unit. This zinc we want to use the
cover for the knapsack sprayer. The last components are bolt and nut that cost RM3.50. All
the components can be purchase at the online shop or hardware shop. The cost for the certain
components is expensive if it be purchase at the hardware compare to the cost online shop.
The project is lower than benchmarking. The total estimation cost is RM 415.
4.0.2 Manufacturing Cost
After we listed the material cost, we continue to identify the manufacturing cost for every
component. This manufacturing cost is the cost for every process that involve d in our project.
This manufacturing cost also obtained by observing the actual labour cost that involved to
produce this product. The process that been used to create this product is welding, grinding,
drilling and polishing. After we gathered all the cost and process that involved, we finalized
the total of the manufacturing cost is RM 100.
5.0 CONCLUSION
From this analysis, we can conclude that by making this analysis is important to choose the
best material and components that meet our customer requirement. The engineering analysis
also important to meet the best safety factor to make sure the product is safely to use. Besides
that, the management and the teamwork among the team members are important to achieve the
objective of this project in each time. We also know how to handle the time management and
design process to produce a better design for our project. Lastly, by doing all the analysis and
process we have successfully identified the result to make the improvement for our project. So,
our project will become more efficient to be commercial.
