Background The cast iron bell in the photograph is currently used with a cast trunnion mount where the cradle is attached to a pole with a large cast iron base. Unfortunately, the crank/trunnion pin has broken, making it difficult to ring the bell. As part of a bell restoration project, it was decided to replace the bell's trunnion mount with a fixed cantilevered mount consisting of an L-shaped bracket attached to a 14"x 14" vertical deck piling at a height of about 7 ft above ground level. The bell yoke and stand will be discarded. The finial will be replaced by a single 3/4 -16 X 2 3/4 UNF Grade 8 hex bolt/nut that passes through an appropriately sized hole in the horizontal portion of the bracket. The now stationary bell will be rung with a cord attached to the clapper. Like the bell, cradle, and yoke, the new mount may be east; however, other manufacturing processes may be used if justified. This is an individual project, not a team project. Finial Crank Yoke Trunnion for "pln") Trunnion for pin Stand for trade Clapper Fig. 1. (a) Bell trunnlon mount nomenclature. (b) Project bell and its original mount. Project Objective and Constraints Design the mounting bracket for this application, with particular attention to using good form synthesis principles. A minimum static factor of safety of n. = 4.0 is desired. The combined bell and clapper mass is 85 Ibm. The bracket loads can be assumed to be quasi-static. Aesthetic features may be included in the mount design. Report Document your design with a concise technical report. The text portion of the written narrative should be less than two pages long, and have the following outline: problem statement, design description (mention form synthesis principles used), overview of design process, conclusions. Include design calculations, a solid model rendering, and a dimensioned detail drawing of the bracket in an appendix. Font TNR (11.5 pt or 12 pt). Margins L-1.1 in, R-1.1 in. T-0.9 in, B-0.8 in, footer -0.5 in. Page Numbers All pages must be numbered: sequential Arabic numerals centered in footer, leading and trailing dash (-22-). Paragraphs Single spaced text, no indentation, unjustified right margin, one blank space between paragraphs. Section Headings No numbers, bold, same font as body text. Equations Centered, numbered sequentially with left flush numbers in parenthesis. Figures All figures and tables must be captioned (10 pt TNR) and sequentially numbered. Title Include the report title and author information as a header on the first page (much like this document), not as a separate title page.
