Interactive websites for Mechanical

For mechanical engineers, the ability to imagine the concepts will be instrumental in one’s better understanding and also the hands-on projects would simulate and help in forging the concepts better.

From understanding the basics like how the Projectile Motion works to computing the Gear ratio in the drive train it helps if we could visualize using the online tools.

Here are some of the websites that I found useful for Mechanical Engineers.

 

1. Gear Generator: Helps you understand the Gear mechanism better. Link

2. Filter - PhET Interactive Simulations (colorado.edu) Link

 

  

3. Amesweb Link
    Strength of Materials is the foundation subject for the Design Engineers and all the Design subjects that are taught after the SOM are wired to this and that makes it more important for you to understand it better.

4. 3D parts Design library
5. Engineers Edge Link

6. iCrank.com - Machine Design Guide for Mechanical Engineers and Designers Link

7. Online Materials Information Resource - MatWeb Link
    They have over 15,000 materials in their database and it is a completely free source of materials property data on the web. It also has several Converters and calculator that makes common engineering tasks available at the click of a button.

9. Steven L Henderson's Cutting Edge Designs (shender4.com) Link

The Pellichupulu Date

Image
When you grow together in love, sometimes you pause to watch the person next to you and feel thankful for life. You may wonder where it all started. For me, that moment is our first date, “the pellichupulu date” – the starting point of the trajectory of our love. Ayyira and I met at a traditional pellichupulu, spoke there, and connected on Instagram. We hadn't informed our parents of our decision yet, as we thought we should take some time. We texted for a week, and one weekend, I decided to go meet her in Hyderabad. I still recall that day when I stood in the Tatkal line to book a ticket; my hands were trembling not just from the Tatkal pressure, but also from thoughts of how the day would go when I met her in Hyderabad. I texted her the Saturday evening when I was boarding the train, and she had plans for Sunday to visit her parents. However, she cancelled her plans and decided to meet me. She asked about my plan for the day, and honestly, I had none. My whole intention was to me

Love in inverted schedule

Image
Ram and Ayyira have been married for nearly a year, and in just 10 days, they'll celebrate their first anniversary. They both work in the software industry, but their work schedules are quite different. Ram's work hours follow the usual 9-5 routine, while Ayyira's shift begins at 9, but during a different part of the day. In the beginning, they faced challenges in finding a common time to spend quality moments together. However, it didn't take them long to discover the beauty of love within their inverted schedules. They did have their fair share of arguments and disagreements, watching the newly released movie on matinee or evening show, and going out for lunch or dinner, but the remarkable aspect of their relationship was that they always resolved these issues before bedtime. Netflix and chill, Swiggy and bill. Occasionally, Ayyira had the opportunity to work from home. Before she logged in, Ram would sit beside her, sharing the events of his day. In return, she would

Packing Happiness

Image
Last night, I found myself in a bit of a rush to send off the skating shoes I'd bought for my nephew. Staff at the RTC parcel service refused to take them unless they were properly boxed up. It was already 8:45 in the evening, and with closing time at 9, I was running out of options. There were no department stores nearby, so in a bit of desperation, I hurried into a nearby PAN shop. The shopkeeper, a man in his sixties, took one look at the shoes and exclaimed with excitement, "Aren't these skating shoes?" It wasn't surprising to me that he recognized them; it was popularised in mainstream movies. But what caught my attention was the genuine joy he expressed as he carefully packed the shoes. Despite his shop being crowded with customers, he didn't hesitate to roll up his sleeves and handle the task with utmost professionalism. During our conversation, he shared with me his longing for skating. He told me how he had always dreamt of owning a pair himself but n
