Reverse Engineering: Structural Analysis As you may already know, engineers like to take things apart! By exploring the inner mechanisms of a device, engineers gain valuable information about the structure and function of each component. Typically, an engineer completes three separate analyses during the reverse engineering process. A visual analysis allows the engineer to describe the object using visual design elements and principles. A functional analysis explores the operations of each component and their interactions to provide further information about an object's purpose and design. Finally, a structural analysis provides information about the organization, materials, and manufacturing methods used to create an object. Reverse engineering is a detailed, sequential process that engineers use carefully to ensure that a dismantled object can be reconstructed fully again.

In this lesson, you will learn the purpose and technique of a structural analysis. Additionally, you will learn about a morphological matrix that ties the function of a product with its structure. Along with the Product Teardown Chart, the documentation used in reverse engineering tracks all information gathered during the process to enable engineers to make valid, reasoned judgments about the product. By the end of the lesson, you will learn how to carefully dismantle an object while analyzing the structure of each component, as engineers do during the reverse engineering process.

Objectives

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
