What is 'CC' of a bike? How does it matter?
Saurabh Kamble commented on saurabhjain's blog entry in Mechanical Engineering Questions
Cc stands for cubic capacity of an engine cylinder.the amount or volume of air compresses inside the cylinder from BDC - TDC+ CV is nothing but cc of an engine eg:-endeavour 2.2L means 2200 CC .it really matters bcoz as more compression of air results in combustion which results in more power and torque respectively. -

Welding Engineering is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that deals with mechanical,Metallurgical and productions aspects of engineering. Of course it means joining of two material pieces into one piece by using pressure/temperature/ Friction/vibrations etc,. A welding engineer should have sound knowledge in Welding metallurgy(=Physical metallurgy+phase transformations especially solid state phase transformations), Weldment design,Non destructive testing, some electrical aspects, Distortions due to phase transformations, and Safety measures too. Nope, you will not be considered as welding Engineer if you know above things only. You should also posses a certification from AWS (American welding society) that you are a CWE (Certified Welding Engineer), in which they will conduct an exam. And Codes and Standards for welding, no matter how creative you are you need to fallow these standards to design a weld.

Roadmap for your Mechanical Engineering profession
Hetal Patel replied to saurabhjain's topic in Career Guidance
Mechanical engineering is a conglomeration of various science disciplines. Some of these sub-disciplines are unique to mechanical engineering while others cross over with other areas of science. In either case, we will touch on five sub-domains of mechanical engineering quickly below: Robotics & Mechatronics: The science of mechatronics is the result of blending electronics and mechanics while robotics leverages mechatronics to create robots and automate manufacturing. Structural Analysis: The discipline of structural analysis focuses on how and why structural objects fail & their respective structural integrity. Mechanics: In its most basic form, mechanics is the study of forces and their effect upon matter. Mechanical engineers will frequently use mechanics to analyze and design various phases of engineering. Drafting & Design: Drafting is the mechanical engineers path to design and create a set of basic instructions for the manufacturing of a part, device, or assembly. Design is the ideation of a product or process that is followed by an illustration, drawing, or computer-generated example (often known as computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) processes). Thermodynamics: In its essence, thermodynamics is the study of energy. As applied to mechanical engineering, thermodynamics will often focus on the use of energy and transformation through a given system. What are Typical Qualities of Mechanical Engineers? - Listening skills: Mechanical engineers work on projects with other professionals, like computer scientists and architects, and must pay attention to details of a project and analyze diverse approaches from others in order to successfully finish the task at hand. - Creativity: Mechanical engineers design and build multi-faceted pieces of machinery and equipment. While some pieces of a project are already designed and vetted, new elements or assembling the entire project may take a great deal of creativity to complete on-time and on-budget. - Math skills: A mechanical engineer will frequently utilize principles of statistics, calculus, statistics, and other math-based disciplines during various stages of analysis, design, and troubleshooting. - Mechanical skills: Engineers will need to thoroughly understand basic engineering concepts and mechanical processes to help solve problems, design new systems, and properly deploy a new product. - Problem-solving skills: Lastly, a mechanical engineer will need to harness their knowledge to achieve a higher-order set of problem-solving skills in order to successfully master their respective trade. Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations for Mechanical Engineers Although licensure is not needed for entry-level mechanical engineer positions, professional mechanical engineers will need to earn a PE license. A Professional Engineering (PE) license allows for advanced levels of independence and leadership for a mechanical engineer within an organization. Once a mechanical engineer obtains a PE license, he/she can supervise other engineers, endorse projects, and offer services to the public. State licensure will requires a mechanical engineer to: - Obtain an ABET-accredited engineering degree - Receive a passing score on the Fundamentals of Engineering examination - Obtain at least 4 years of relevant work experience in the field - Successfully pass the Professional Engineering (PE) exam Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations for Mechanical Engineers Although licensure is not needed for entry-level mechanical engineer positions, professional mechanical engineers will need to earn a PE license.

Role of Mechanical Engineer in IT industry
Hetal Patel replied to Sharvil Pradhan's topic in Career Guidance
First of all, since you are a mechanical engineer, i assume that when you joined college, you did not want to join an IT company. But since most of placement happens in IT, you jumped on the bandwagon and accepted their offer for lure of money, independence and brand name of Infosys.(Correct me in the comments if i am wrong).Training(as a Mech Engineer) With that assumption, i state that your branch of engineering is mostly irrelevant when you join Infosys. Many mechanical engineers, civil engineers join the company as freshers. Heads Up, it would be nice if you join some course before hand incase you are completely out of touch with programming after 4 years in Mech. The training will be intense and multiple technologies will be introduced. The key thing in clearing the Training is LEARNABILITY. If you have the aptitude, it should not be a problem.Job: Infosys doesn't have a power/construction/Machinery subsidiary. So, your job FOR CERTAIN will be in front of a desktop completely. The nature of your project depends on where the company feels it needs to push in more employees at the moment. It could be Java, banking(Finacle), Mainframe, Mobilities etc. Far way from any kind of Mechanical project. Infosys has big clients like Harley toyota who have core business in mechanical but as an Infoscion your job will be handling, supporting, developing, integrating IT division of such companies, making sure these clients do not face any hassles in runnings their IT operations -

Hydraulic press for tube flattening
Henry Kurniadi replied to Joseph Toscano Pinto's question in Interview Questions
https://www.thefabricator.com/article/stamping/ask-the-expert-how-do-i-calculate-press-tonnage-for-swaging- Force = Final flat area x Ultimate tensile strength x 1.2. This example part uses 1-inch-diameter ASTM A 500 tube (assumption thickness 0.063 inch). The nominal tensile strength of this material is 45,000 pounds per square inch. Following is the process for completing the calculations: Flattened area of rod = 2.5 sq. in. (again, assumption!) Tensile stress = 45,000 PSI Compressive strength = 1.2 x Tensile strength = 1.2 x 45,000 = 54,000 PSI Flattening force = Area x Compressive strength = 2.5 x 54,000 = 135,000 lbf. Flattening force in tons = 135,000/2,000 = 67.5 US tons Never use a press that is rated for the exact amount of required tonnage you have calculated. Always add a minimum of 20 percent for safety. In this case, the minimum press tonnage should be 81 to 91. -

What is Mechanical Sandwich Degree ??? Does it have scope
Hetal Patel replied to Rughved's topic in Career Guidance
A sandwich course is one which takes one more year than the usual course. In engineering, sandwich courses often have 5 years of course of study. The syllabus between the regular and the sandwich program differs basically in the added component-Industrial training. Sandwich students undergo 10 semesters of rigorous industrial training in an industry mostly which is part of the college, if not an outside one. Morning sessions will start by around 9:30 AM at the industry which is till lunch. Usual classes start only in the afternoon, say after 2:30 PM and will go on till late dusk. Mechanical sandwich is the course which deals with the industrial-mechanical concept based learnings. These, for instance, include the basic outline to an industry's working, introduction to the components being manufactured in the industry, the manufacturing processes, the testing and QC facilities and so on. Students also get exposed to the industry well before joining one, thus making them ready for the engineering world outside. The best aspect about the sandwich program is the compulsory internship which is their 7th semester, which usually is for 3 months. This sets them apart because not all regular students go for internships, but even if they do, the learning will not be the same in all cases due to less industrial exposure. Despite all these differences, everything else like college participation, placements, co curricular activities etc., is the same. Still, I've heard our greatest HOD of all time mention about how sandwich students waste their time in the name of industrial learning daily in the mornings. I have nothing to add to that! P.S : Everything said above is with reference to PSG Tech's program. Since I just graduated with a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering(regular), I was able to give my views from my perspective. Hope this helps. -
Good evening everybody. My name is Joseph Toscano. I'm from Ecuador and I'm doing the construction of a hydraulic press for tube flattening for a local business. I was wondering if you know where can I find a formula or equation for the needed tonnage or pressure of the hydraulic actuator in order to flat a round tube of 1" ASTM A 500. Please, it would be really handful for me. Thank you so much for your attention.
