FEA and Design Modification of Shredder blade used for plastic recycling

Mechanical engineering

A paper shredder is considered to be a mechanical machine that is used to cut paper into either strips or fine particles that portray no information that was written on the paper initially. Government establishments, big business holders, and privatepersonalities use these shredders to abolish private, personal, or otherwise delicate and secret pamphlets. Privacy specialists frequently claim that individuals should shred their bills, tax papers, credit cards, and statements of their bank account, and other kinds of stuff that might be used by robs to commit deceit and theft. In this report, we are going to design a shredder blade and perform a FEA Static Structural analysis followed by topology optimization and Material comparison for low weight, durability, strength, span life and other stress factors, so that the blade can handle cutting force applied to it. Keywords: - Shredder Blade, FEA Static Structural Analysis, Topology Optimization, Material Comparison
