Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Week 5 saw the failure of our means to test our models due to the limited range of the LDV purchased by sponsor- the problem was not anticipated.
Fitting the LDV with a long range lens will take 3 weeks- beyond our time limits- so we will not be responsible for testing the prototype with the LDV
With the guidance of our sponsor, we will continue with our planned schedule and build the prototype incorporating the air bladders to isolate vibration.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
The LDV testing was attempted, and unable to be completed
Contacted PolyTec and moving forward with upgrading the LDV with a long range lens
A soft model incorporating two air bladders was completed
Quotes for the air bladders was obtained
First draft of the Final Design Report completed
Materials have been ordered- they are in stock
Air bladders are ordered- will receive in one week
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Have a completed prototype (include air bladders when they are received) Everyone
Test prototype inside bore of the scanner (late next week) Everyone
Continue editing the Final Design Report, include figures where possible Everyone
Pick up materials when they become available Alex
Send out LDV to be fitted with long range lens ASAP Kristen
