 History
Fusion 360 is a cloud based 3-D auto cad software powered by Autodesk. Autodesk, Inc. is an
American multinational software corporation that makes software services for the architecture,
engineering, construction, manufacturing, media, education, and entertainment industries.
Autodesk is headquartered in San Rafael, California. The company was founded in
1982(30.january) by John walker, who was co-author of first version of auto cad. It is a software,
manufacturing and industrial company based on designing.

Chairman- Crawford W. Beveridge.

Unlike any other tool of its kind, Autodesk fusion 360 connects CAD, CAM and CAE in a single
cloud based platform that works on both Mac and PC.

It is a product or model introduced by Autodesk and integration industrial design , structural

design , mechanical simulation and CAM , turns out a design platform supporting collaboration
and sharing both cross-over platform and via cloud . In earlier design products, design and
manufacturing use to be isolated. In the course of design, research and development, the
communication between the designers and engineers used to go on through different software
products, tool commands, and even industry terms.

Assembly of (Oldham’s coupling)

Introduction

It is used to connect two parallel shafts whose axes are at a small distance apart. Two flanges,
each having a rectangular slot, are keyed, one on each shaft. The two flanges are positioned such
that, the slot in one is at right angle to the slot in the other. To make the coupling, a circular disc
with two rectangular projections on either side and at right angle to each other, is placed between
the two flanges. During motion, the central disc, while turning, slides in the slots of the flanges.
Power transmission takes place between the shafts, because of the positive connection between
the flanges and the central disc.

Assembly of cotter joint.

Introduction
Cotter joint is used to connect two rods subjected to axial tensile or compressive loads. It is not
suitable to connect rotating shafts which transmit torque. Axes of the rods to be joined should be
collinear. There is no relative angular movement between rods. Cotter joint is widely used to
connect the piston rod and crosshead of a steam engine, as a joint between the piston rod and the
tailor pump rod, foundation bolt etc.
Cotter Joint has mainly three components – spigot, socket and cotter. Spigot is formed on one of
the rods and socket is formed on the other. The socket and the spigot are provided with a narrow
rectangular slot.

Part design and assembly (Knuckle joint)

Introduction

A knuckle joint is a mechanical joint used to connect two rods which are under a tensile load,
when there is a requirement of small amount of flexibility, or angular moment is necessary.
There is always axial or linear line of action of load.

At one end of the rod the single eye is formed and a double eye is formed at the other end of the
rod. Both, single and double eye are connected by a pin inserted through the eye. The pin has a
head at one end and at other end there is a taper pin or split pin. For gripping purpose, the ends of
the rod are of octagonal forms. Now, when the two eyes are pulled apart, the pin holds them
together.
Aim-To create the knuckle joint assembly as a 3-D solid model using fusion 360 software.

Assembly of Plummer block (Pedestal bearing).

Introduction

A Plummer block is a pedestal used to provide support for a rotating shaft with the help of
compatible bearings & various accessories. Housing material for a pillow block is typically made
of cast iron or cast steel.
A Plummer block usually refers to housing with an included anti-friction bearing. A Plummer
block refers to any mounted bearing wherein the mounted shaft is in a parallel plane to the
mounting surface, and perpendicular to the centre line of the mounting holes, as contrasted with
various types of flange blocks or flange units. A Plummer block may contain a bearing with one
of several types of rolling elements, including ball, cylindrical roller, spherical roller, tapered
roller, metallic or synthetic bushing. The type of rolling element defines the type of Plummer
block.

Assembly of lathe tail-stock.

Introduction-

A tailstock, also known as a foot stock, is a device often used as part of an engineering lathe,
wood-turning lathe, or used in conjunction with a rotary table on a milling machine.
It is usually used to apply support to the longitudinal rotary axis of a work piece being machined.
A lathe centre is mounted in the tailstock, and inserted against the sides of a hole in the centre of
the work piece. A tailstock has a Dead Centre, while headstock has Live Centre. A Tailstock is
particularly useful when the work piece is relatively long and slender. Failing to use a tailstock
can cause "chatter," where the work piece bends excessively while being cut.

Ques. Simulation of rectangular beam.

Introduction-
A rectangular beam is one which is generally used as compression in top fibre and tension in
bottom fibre of that beam. Whereas a t beam having beam and slab composite section. A
t beam is more economical than rectangular beam.

The Simulation workspace allows you to perform stress analysis to determine how loads lead to
deformation and failure, helping you understands if and how the part will fail. You save time as
you experiment with virtual design variations or adapt to changing design requirements.

Radial engine assembly

INVENTOR-

Jacob Elle hammer

In 1903–1904 Jacob Elle hammer used his experience constructing motorcycles to build the
world's first air-cooled radial engine, a three-cylinder engine which he used as the basis for a
more powerful five-cylinder model in 1907.
Introduction

The radial engine is a reciprocating type internal combustion engine configuration in which
the cylinders "radiate" outward from a central crank-case like the spokes of a wheel. It resembles
a stylized star when viewed from the front, and is called a "star engine" in some languages. The
radial configuration was commonly used for aircraft engines before gas turbine engines became
predominant.

Application

Radial engine, type of internal-combustion engine used mainly in small airplanes, in which the
cylinders (ranging from five to as many as 28, depending on engine size) are mounted in a circle
around the crankshaft, sometimes in banks of two or more. Once the dominant piston-engine
type, radials are now in only limited production; most new requirements are met by
remanufacturing existing stock.

Radial engines have a relatively low maximum rpm (rotations per minute) rate, so they can often
drive propellers without any sort of reduction gearing. Because all of the pistons are in the same
plane, they all get even cooling and normally can be air-cooled. That saves the weight of water-
cooling.

Working

Every radial engine has an odd number of cylinders, and they fire in an alternating order. ... As
the cylinders fire, the rod assembly rotates around the crankshaft, spinning it like a bell crank
would. A counterbalance weight sits opposite from the rod hub to prevent engine vibration.

The radial engine normally uses fewer cam lobes than other types. As with most four-strokes, the
crankshaft takes two revolutions to complete the four strokes of each piston (intake,
compression, combustion, exhaust). The camshaft ring is geared to spin slower and in the
opposite direction to the crankshaft.
All components-
1. Master connecting rod
Functions-

The master and articulated rod assembly is commonly used in radial engines. In a radial engine,
the piston in one cylinder in each row is connected to the crankshaft by a master rod. The master
rod serves as the connecting link between the piston pin and the crankpin. In an 18-cylinder
engine, which has two rows of cylinders, there are two master rods and 16 articulated rods. The
articulated rods are constructed of forged steel alloy in either the I- or H-shape, denoting the
cross-sectional shape. Bronze bushings are pressed into the bores in each end of the articulated
rod to provide knuckle pin and piston-pin bearings.

2. Connecting rod
Functions-

The connecting rod is the link that transmits forces between the piston and the crankshaft.
Connecting rods must be strong enough to remain rigid under load and yet be light enough to
reduce the inertia forces that are produced when the rod and piston stop, change direction, and
start again at the end of each stroke.

There are four types of connecting-rod assemblies:

1. Plain
2. Fork and blade
3. Master and articulated
4. Split-type
The connecting rod is generally abbreviated to con-rod. The crankshaft con-rod mechanism
transforms reciprocate motion to rotational motion. The con-rod connects the piston to
the crankshaft to transfer combustion pressure to the crankpin.

3. Piston
Functions-

One piston, the uppermost one in the animation, has a master rod with a direct attachment to the
crankshaft. The remaining pistons pin their connecting rods' attachments to rings around the edge
of the master rod. The radial engine normally uses fewer cam lobes than other types.

In an engine, its purpose is to transfer force from expanding gas in the cylinder to
the crankshaft via a piston rod and/or connecting rod. In a pump, the function is reversed and
force is transferred from the crankshaft to the piston for the purpose of compressing or ejecting
the fluid in the cylinder.

4. Crankshaft
Function-

The radial engine normally uses fewer cam lobes than other types. As with most four-strokes,
the crankshaft takes two revolutions to complete the four strokes of each piston (intake,
compression, combustion, exhaust). The camshaft ring is geared to spin slower and in the
opposite direction to the crankshaft.

A crankshaft is a rotating shaft which (in conjunction with the connecting rods) converts
reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion. Crankshafts are commonly used in
internal combustion engines and consist of a series of cranks and crankpins to which the
connecting rods are attached.

Procedure-

 Start fusion 360 and save the folder as Radial assembly. At first design the piston by
proper dimension and extrude it.
 After than add component and design the master connecting rod and create it.
 Now create the other connecting rod and join it with master connecting. Rod and create a
circular pattern on master connecting rod of 5 rods.

 After that, set all rods to motion (rotation) and preview it.
 Create 5 copies of the piston.
 Now add all pistons on the top of all 5 connecting rods and set (slider) motion to all.

 Now at centre create a cylinder called as crankshaft and give it rotation motion.
 Make the handles on both side of crankshaft and check its motion (rotation).
 You can add fan at the last also.
Final Assembly

Commands used-Centre-diameter circle, centre-point rectangle, three point-arc, two-point

circle, extrude, joint, circular pattern, copy/move, mirror, trim, line, material appearance,
revolve, motion etc.
 Conclusion

What I concluded from this report is that fusion 360 is very useful software in designing of
various tools and equipment in our day to day life .We learnt a lot about how to apply its basic
features and how to use it in creating various models according to our required dimensions.

In this internship program we studied about the designing software from Autodesk fusion
360.During the 6 week time we completed 9 assignments on sketching, modelling of various
tools, drafting a part, simulations for its properties.

The final project was given to us by our Mentor that was modelling of a Radial engine with its
functions and its uses. We learnt the basic features of fusion 360, its commands and tools.
