Energy and Stress Analysis of the Free Fall Mechanism Made of Cast Iron with a Mass of 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 Grams and Working at 10, 20, 30, 40 Centimeters Height

In this study, a free fall system mechanism with a mass of 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 grams was designed. The free fall mechanism works from a height of 10, 20, 30, 40 centimeters. The mechanism parts in accordance with the specified values of the system performed are sized for castiron. The 3 - dimensional solid model of the system has been created. For stresses, deformation, kinetic and potential energy a change according to the height and mass values of the system by modeling analyzes were conducted. The maximum tensile force that can occur on the material for the maximum mass and height of 2 kg and 40 cm height was evaluated. It has been observed that the potential and kinetic energy values calculated depending on the mass and velocities are maximum at the largest mass and excess height values.
