Design Proposal Presentation
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Continued fastener test
Continued joint testing
Truss and buckling analysis
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Build scale model of piece to piece connection
Finalize budget for fasteners and brackets
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Piece to piece connection visualized differently
Explained in detail and built a model
Size of entrance too small
Not a priority right now
Size of broken down beams
Finalized size
Accessible to disability
Not a priority right now
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Buckling and truss analysis
Don’t rule out adhesives
Scale models are helpful
Built model of beach chair effect
Update design with class in design proposal presentation
Addressed in presentation
Risks and Areas of Concern
Concerns of buckling
Mostly in vestibule
Reinforce L-beam with more brackets
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Young’s modulus of Stinger board
Schedule
