Background of study Problem Statement

1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of study

In the challenging world now, many of the standard and custom skid and trailer pumping modules with features designed to meet the demanding applications. It is also varying in size and capability from small open design to custom trailer pumping modules. This is really needed in cold harsh working environment and in extremely hot environment as well as airport, nuclear sites and others industrial locations. In this project, the platform should be design using the FEA and product design methodology. FEA means finite elements analysis which is a computer simulation techniques used in engineering analysis. It uses a numerical technique called the finite element method FEM. There are many finite element software packages, both free and proprietary. Development of the finite element method in structural mechanics is usually based on an energy principle such as the virtual work principle or the minimum total potential energy principle. From the engineering side, the finite element analysis originated as the displacement method of the matrix structural analysis, which emerged over the course of several decades mainly in British aerospace research as a variant suitable for computers. While Product design can be defined as the idea generation, concept development, testing and manufacturing or implementation of a product physical object or service. Product Designers conceptualize and evaluate ideas, making them tangible through a product in a more systematic approach. The role of a product designer encompasses many characteristics of the marketing manager, product manager, 2 industrial designer and design engineer. The term is sometimes equated with industrial design.

1.2 Problem Statement

In this world now, it is very important to have an easy and faster fire services if the burning flame happen out of the town and far inside the forest. The problem is how to find the best design for the floating pump platform which has the applications of holding, supporting and clamping the pump securely during the operation of the pump. The problems also included how to design the new platform for floating pump which have is lightweight and easy to carry to everywhere.
