AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT MECHANICAL ENGINEERS DO:

Stress distribution in a pinion and gear set

 

This movie shows the stresses induced in a pair of meshing gears.  The stresses were calculated using Finite Element Analysis, a powerful computation tool for many types of engineering analysis and design work.  This kind of analysis can be used to improve understanding of the operation of mechanical and biomedical equipment and to evaluate new designs before they are built.
