Projection of Solids-1

This document discusses the projection of solids. It defines solids as having three dimensions of length, breadth, and thickness. Solids can be represented by orthographic views and are classified as either polyhedra or solids of revolution. Polyhedra are solids bounded by plane surfaces called faces, which include regular polyhedra, prisms, and pyramids. Solids of revolution are generated when a plane surface is revolved around one of its edges, such as cylinders, cones, and spheres. The document also discusses positioning solids with respect to reference planes.

PROJECTION OF SOLIDS

A solid as three dimensions, the length, breath and


thickness or height.
A solid may be represented by orthographic views, the
number of which depends on the type of solid and its
orientation with respect to the planes of projections.
Solids are classified into two major groups
(i) Polyhedra (ii) Solid of Revolutions.
POLYHEDRA
A Polyhedra is define as a solid bounded by plane surfaces called
Faces.
They are (i)Regular Polyhedra (ii) Prisms (iii) Pyramids
REGULAR POLYHEDRA
A polyhedron is said to be Regular if its surface are regular
polygons. The following are some of the regular Polyhedra.
PRISMS

A prism is a polyhedron having two equal ends called


the bases parallel to each other.
The two bases are joined by faces, which are
rectangular in shape.
The imaginary line passing through the centers of the
bases is called the axis of prism.
A prism is named after the shape of its base.
For Example A prism with a square base is called a
square Prism.
The Nomenclature of the prism is given
PYRAMIDS

A pyramids is a polyhedron having one base with a


number of isoscales triangular faces meeting at a point
called the apex.
The imaginary line passing through the center of
the base and the apex is called the axis of pyramid.
The pyramid is named after the shape of the base.
Thus a square pyramid has a square base.
The nomenclature of pyramid is shown.
SOLID OF REVOLUATIONS
If a plane surface is Revolved About one of its edges the solid is
generated is called a solid of revolution.
the Examples are (i)Cylinder (ii)Cone (iii) Sphere
FRUSTUMS AND TRUNCATED SOLIDS
If a cone or pyramid is cut by section plane parallel to its base and
the portion containing the apex or vertex is removed, the remaining
portion is called Frustums and truncated solids
POSITION OF SOLIDS WITH RESPECT TO THE
REFERENCE PLANES

The position of solids in a space may be specified by the location


of either the axis,base,edge,diagonal or face with the principle plane
of projections. The following projections of planes

1.Axis perpendicular to one of the principal planes.

2.Axis is parallel to both the principle planes.

3.Axis is inclined to one of the principle plane and parallel to other


planes.

4.Axis inclined to both principle planes.


THE POSITION OF SOLID WITH REFERENCE TO THE
PRINCIPLE PLANES MAY ALSO BE GROUPED AS
FOLLOWS

1.solid is resting on its base.

2. solid resting on any one of faces, edge of faces, edge of


base,generator,slantedges,etc…

3.solid suspended freely from one of its corners,etc…
