Abstract

Engineering dynamics is essential in mechanical engineering. The teaching and learning processes for projectile motion in engineering dynamics are challenging. This paper aims to fabricate physical prototypes for supporting the learning processes that use operational conditions to support the theory. Two prototypes of projectile launchers are extensively designed based on the sling mechanism. The prototypes are tested for functionality, and the distance travelled by the object is measured based on the variability of launch angle. The experimental projectile parameters are evaluated by theoretical kinematic data for performance evaluation of the launcher. It is found that the proposed prototypes can be significantly used in the learning of engineering dynamics.
