After having done a comprehensive and extensive work, the results found are pretty much satisfactory and came out to be close to our estimations and expectations. during the on-going process, the core issue and after having done many rounds of brainstorming sessions we were successful in clicking on a few innovative ideas which indeed has improved the fatigue strength and life cycle of the guard significantly. the following points discussed below are our key solutions to our problem defined: • provision of braces to prevent the failure and to improve the supportive system for the guard the braces are approved. this has significantly reduced chances of fatigue failure and provided a supportive base to the guard. this will reduce chances of derailing in the future. • provision of dents on face of guard dents are very handy in making the air pass through them. with the use of dents high velocity air will not have enough strength to create oscillation cycles of guards which are the main ingredients to building up of fatigue. so life of the guard will be more than before. • oil spillage minimized by improvising the shape of the base an inclination of 6⁰ is provided on the base of the guard for proper flow of the oil through the passage. this significantly reduces wastage of oil and makes the surrounding floor clean and convenient for workers to work. • using cylindrical roller bearings the cylindrical roller bearing is selected instead of roller bearings or rollers. the disadvantages of rollers are that they don’t contribute in axial loads. the best pick from the lot considering the current scenario is cylindrical roller bearing which can take radial loads as well as axial loads effectively as none other material contribute to the axial loads. the fatigue failure which can happen due to continuous wind load imposing can be reduced to minimum using the same. this bearing can bare both the loads easily and give robust structure to the guard.
