Failure Analysis and Enhancements of Cessna-172 Nose Landing Gear Fork

Landing gear provides crucial support for aircraft while on ground. It is fastened to the main structural parts of the plane. The nose landing gear transfers all ground stresses to the aircraft structure, while the aircraft is on ground. Standard airplanes have main gears and the nose gear when taxiing on the ground the nose wheel is essential for both landing safely and guiding the plane. Main landing gear is to facilitate the safe touchdown of the aircraft. When combined, the main landing gear and the nose landing gear allow for landing smooth and jerk-free. The whole weight of the aircraft is supported by the undercarriage during taxiing and landing. Using the modelling program, a design and precise geometry of the existing Cessna 172 nose landing gear fork was created as well as for the proposed model of the nose landing gear. Comparison of four different materials for nose landing gear fork structures and evaluate the equivalent stress, strain and deflection was done. There is comparison of the nose landing gear fork structure with existing and proposed model. Compared to all the cases the titanium alloy material receives the lesser and nearer to the deformation of the steel.

Development of a 2D Platformer Game using Godot Engine

This Bachelor thesis details the development of "Parry Knight," a 2D endless runner game using the Godot Engine. The game, featuring a knight navigating dynamically generated platforms while avoiding or parrying attacks from hostile NPCs, draws inspiration from Jetpack Joyride, Knightmare Tower, Cuphead, and Shovel Knight. The project highlights the practical application of game design principles and programming skills through Godot's GDScript. Key aspects include the creation of core gameplay mechanics, user interface design, and testing. The thesis presents comprehensive diagrams, including use case, sequence, and class diagrams, to illustrate the development process. The game was developed and tested. This software and work that describes it follows all requirements set for it.

Development of a personal financial management application

Nowadays, financial management is essential in people's lives, as price increases and economic instability require more careful planning of personal finances. Technological development makes this process accessible to everyone, offering various expenditure tracking and budget planning solutions. In the bachelor's thesis, the most popular financial management applications were reviewed, showing that although they offer an intuitive interface and automated budget functions, they also have shortcomings.The goal of the work is to create an application that provides a convenient and digitally enhanced tool for financial planning and tracking. To achieve the goal, tasks included reviewing similar applications, defining requirements, creating the interface and database, developing transaction management and budgeting functionality, and testing the application. All tasks were fully completed.The application uses Python and Flask, SQLite database, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. As a result, an application with a clear interface was developed, providing manual transaction entry and bank account Excel format upload, editing, and deletion, as well as budget control and transaction visualizations. These functions help users manage their finances more effectively and make better decisions.
