Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
>Have ordered fans for use in the following sizes: 80mm, 120mm
>Have ordered some acoustic padding for testing
>Pending on sponsor for meeting to test out materials in their lab
>Fabrication waiting on the status of team members to test out components
>Advised to have us experience/play around with components first
Accomplishments from Previous Week
>Discussion with graduate students concerning a thermal analysis program. Peter
>In month of December, sketched a rough idea as to how we will accomplish goal
>Parts ordered in Dec, play around early Jan+order, if necessary, more parts
>Late Jan, work with more component + show some 3D models of chassis
>Early Feb, order some similar components (successful ones) to try and test
>Mid Feb, compile 3D models and summarize product + analysis
Goals for Next Week
>Having finished analyzing components, try to find out what to improve upon
>Padding. Vincent, Brandon
>Fans. Raymond, Peter
>Space allocation. Jonathan, Brandon, Peter
>Have compiled 2-3 designs in 3D for thermal analysis. *depends on models
>Organization of documentation. Raymond, Brandon
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
>Order some parts
>Given a list of several items to test, such as fans for dB levels
>Give an overview of how winter quarter will be
>Described above in “Accomplishments from Previous week”
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken
>Try seeking aid from others on campus, especially the grad dept.
>Sought out assistance and will be playing with CM
Risks and Areas of Concern
>Communication
>if there is a lack of communication on what is happening and lack of follow-ups
>wasted time, perhaps overlaps on similarly done items amongst members
>Custom-parts manufacturer modify our drawings
>should make parts have a good amount of tolerance, can be made up with padding
Schedule
>Described above, pending on sponsor availability and response
Budget
>$7500 budget
>$1k on machine shop use (need to discuss amount)
>roughly $60 on parts from amazon/newegg (price will be told to us at next mtg)
Progress on Report and Webpage
>Report has the intro and background essentially taken from the 156A final presentation
