Fishbone Analysis of Laboratory Experiments in Mechanical Engineering Kindle Edition By Yoshida Rao & Vipul baibhav

This book bridges the gap of Laboratory Experiments in Mechanical Engineering and the actual industry setups. This book introduces and an important technique in Quality Control namely Root Cause Analysis. And one of the important tools in Root Cause Analysis is Fishbone. Fishbone takes the problem at hand and try to analyze it's causes of failures from the point of view of Methods, Materials, Machinery, Manpower, Environment and Measurements. These are referred to as 6M methodology. The main three laboratories in Mechanical Engineering are Thermal Lab, Fluid Mechanics and Machinery Lab Strength of Materials Lab and Dynamics of Machines Lab. The Thermal Lab contains experiments on Lancashire Boiler, La Mont Boiler, Impulse and Reaction Turbines. Fluid Mechanics and Machinery Lab has experiments on Hydroelectric Power Plant, Hydraulic Ram, Centrifugal pump, Notch, Friction Factor Pipes, Venturimeter, Piezometer, Bernoulli's Theorem and Reynold's Number. Strength of Materials Lab has experiments on Brinell hardness testing, Rockwell hardness testing and Izod test. Dynamics of Machines Lab has experiments on Watt Governor, Screw Jack, Slider crank and Belt pulley setup.
