“…This implies that auto wheel material with maximum static nodal stress will fail first before the one with minimum static nodal stress. Considering von-Mises failure theory, material component is said to be in a state of failure if the von-Mises stress exceeds the material yield strength, but if the von-Mises stress value is lower than the material's yield strength, the material is considered to be safe [38,39]. Considering the maximum von-Mises stresses and yield strength obtained from each auto wheel simulated profile, it can be observed that the maximum von-mises stress values for the four (4) wheel materials were below their yield strength, indicating that all the for materials in this study considered are good choice of materials that can withstand the in-service loading condition of an auto wheel application without untimely failure.…”

“…The centre of the wheel is bored of a circular hole were an axle bearing is tightened about to enable the wheel rotate when a moment generated by the auto engine is applied to the vehicle axle about its axis and the wheel [1]. In other words, the wheel is one of the most important rotating circular member of a vehicle, upon which the tyre is installed in between the flange at a pressure (35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40) different from the ambient pressure [2,3]. Automobile wheel assembly is one of the most important aspects that determine mobility in automotive applications and its failure can be hazardous if not properly engineered to bring out the best performance, strength, durability and reliability.…”

Automobile wheels serve as a primary means of support to a moving and stationary car while being subjected to static and dynamic loading in the process. The present study examines the mechanical behavior of different auto wheel materials under the aforementioned loading conditions using Finite Element Method (FEM). The wheel component was modlled and simulated with SOLIDWORKS 2018 version using different materials including carbon fibre (T300), cast alloy steel, aluminium (2014-T6) and magnesium alloy. Considering the simulation constraints of lowest static stress (von-mises), lowest resultant strain, lowest displacement (static and raidal) and lowest bending, cast alloy steel met all the requirements except for static strain where carbon fibre was the lowest followed by cast alloy steel. Carbon fibre (T300) among all the materials had the highest static stress (von-mises), highest displacement (static and raidal) and highest bending. Static stress for aluminium (2014-T6) was lower than that of magnesium alloy while resultant strain, static and radial displacement as well as bending were lower for aluminium (2014-T6) than magnesium alloy. Von-mises stresses for all wheel materials where below their yield strength, indicating that they can perform optimally under the above mentioned loading constraints. The main disadvantage with steel wheel is the high density while low density of the other three materials offer a distinctive advantage to auto performance, but steel wheel is inexpensive, strong, tough and more durable compared to the other materials.

The main occupation of residents in rural areas in Nigeria is agriculture [1]. Processing of agricultural products into food items suitable for being consumed for a longer period without spoilage can prolong the useful life of such products and can also increase the net profit for farmers [2]. However, several tones of melon pods are gathered every harvesting period but the majority of the total harvest is processed using traditional/manual methods. Melon seed (Cucumis Melo) is a popular food source consumed mostly by Africans. It has been referred to in some texts as Citrullus Vulgaris [3] or Colocynthis Ecirrhosus [4]. In Nigeria, it goes by the following names 'egusi' (Yoruba), 'ogili' (Ibo), 'ogi' (Bini), and 'iguana agushi' (Hausa) and 'dènde' (Fulani). The shelled seeds of egusi are usually coarsely ground and used in preparing soup, stew, and snacks. It is used preparing robo, a defatted fried cake obtained after the oil has been extracted from the melon seed. The seeds can also be fermented, boiled, and wrapped in leaves to form a favourite food seasoning 'Ogiri'. Melon seed contains about 314gkg-1DM crude protein, 439.3 gKg-1DM crude fat, 31.4-90.6 gkg-1DM crude fibre, 2.4-4.6 gkg-1DM phosphorus, 3.9-6.5 gkg-1DM potassium and 4.1-5.9 Mcalkg-1DM energy [5]. The seed also contain about 50% oil, 30% protein, 10% carbohydrate, 4% ash, 3% vitamin, and 3% fiber [6]. The melon seed is a rich source of amino acids like arginine, methionine, and tryptophan. Melon seeds have found widespread use in the following areas: as a source of food, as a source of medicine in the healthcare industry, used in the skincare industries, and source of feeds for animals and as a source of income to farmers. Studies have shown that melon pods have an almost spheroidal external shape and an ellipsoidal seed cavity, sphericity of 1.03, an average density of 0.87 g/cm3, and seed content of 3.5% by weight. [7, 8]. In Nigeria, due to the sociology of different ethnic groups in the country, melon seeds (egusi) are now being transported all over the country where it is served as a meal. Egusi is commonly prepared as soup with vegetables, peppers, spices, palm oil, meat, fish, and other ingredients and sometimes eaten with pastes known as swallows, for example, pounded yam, fufu, wheat, amala, eba, etc. [9, 10]. The oil extracted from the melon seeds can be used in the manufacture of margarine, shortening, and cooking oils, while the residual cake is a useful source of protein for livestock feed [11]. Melon seeds may account for up to 80% of dietary protein and may be the only affordable source of protein for some people [12, 13]. The need to increase and improve melon production in the farming system, human diets, and health cannot be overemphasized [14]. Processing of melon into eatable items involves depodding,

The transmission of motion from one gear to the other in a planetary gear train usually result in unwanted conditions such as vibration due to poor gear assembly, high contact forces, high rotation speeds etc. The vibrating effect of the gear can result in higher or lower frequency response which may damage the gear or offer safe working condition. Using SOLIDWORKS 2018 version for the modelling, SimulationXpress was used to conduct frequency analysis on input shaft/carrier of a planetary gear train to understand its behaviour at different mode shapes during vibration. Results obtain from the input shaft/carrier frequency analysis showed natural frequency values of 1922.4Hz, 1922.8Hz, 2101Hz, 2183.1Hz and 2185.3Hz for mode shape 1-5. Geometry of the input shaft/carrier appeared differently at each mode number, resulting in frequency responses characterised by different modal shapes. This also led to gradual increase in the natural frequency of the input shaft/carrier at increasing mode no, consequently causing deflection on the mode shapes of the input shaft/carrier model. Hence, vibration should be reduced to the lowest limit of tolerance for minimum deflections and longevity of the input shaft/carrier and planetary gear components.
