Mechanical devices are evaluated so that the consumer who is ultimately going to use it can make a better choice. Another important reason to carefully evaluate a mechanical device is to ...
The design of mountain bikes to handle the rough terrain they would be used in, is considered to be
evaluating a function because of this influence ...
Opening a can has evolved from the earliest cans which were made from iron in 1810. These can were

Four distinct designs were used in the design and development of opening mechanisms for aluminum cans. To get the liquid out of the can, one large hole or two smaller holes are needed. If two holes are needed, the first hole is designed to let air into the can, and the second hole is designed to ...
The "church key" was the first practical design for opening a can. It was a simple machine that multiplied the force needed to open the can. The simple machine it was designed after was the ...
Another simple machine was built into the removable tab top. It consisted of a small ring that acted like a lever and would make the necessary hole by removing the tab from the can. This was a huge
improvement, but it also created a huge problem. The problem it created was ...
By pressing on one of the buttons first - to release the pressure of the contents - before pressing on the second one - to have a hole large enough to drink out of - button cans were less problematic. The pressure in the can came from ...
Environmental concerns created further improvements in can-opening devices throughout the 20th century. The ‘ecology top’ was the name given to the ...
In a real evaluation of a mechanical device, designers always begin with ...
