Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Component Analysis Finished -Team
Adhesive layer still missing from Simulation (Will be added later) -Chris, David
Experiment Procedure still being edited -Team
Experimental Set Up Planned (Just awaiting materials) -Team
Monday/Tuesday Submitting Purchasing Requests for Heaters, Thermocouples, and Honeycomb Sandwiches - Alex, James
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Component Analysis Finished -Team
Bill of Materials Sent and Finished -Team
Approval from Sponsor for thermocouples and electric heaters - Alex
Approval from Sponsor for Aluminum honeycomb sandwiches - James
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Call 6 more Honeycomb sandwich manufacturers Monday to see what prices and services they offer. -Chris, James
Have an experiment designed by next week (Since materials should begin coming in then) -Team
Talk with Ian with possible Work Shop Space error? -Team
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
For the 5% POA (perforation) drill hole size will vary based on the surface area of the skin. To save time, make bigger but less holes depending on available drill sizes. -Alberto via Email April 7, 2017
Noted -Team
Thermocouples are approved -Alberto via call April 6, 2017
Purchasing Request done -Alex
Honeycomb Core Sandwiches that can only resist up to 80C are fine. Just test up to failure to validate model -Alberto via Call April 6, 2017
Have Purchasing Request done by at most Tuesday. -James
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Use drill press for perforations, ask what size drill we should use for our perforations - Jerry in person April 3, 2017
Verified information with Sponsor - David
For curing, just use oven if autoclave not needed for 300F - Jerry in person April 3, 2017
Noted - Team
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
None (see last week for most recent comments)
Risks and Areas of Concern
Have to resolve possible work shop space error with Ian - Team
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Many Manufacturers do not have the thermal conductivity of their adhesive.
Some Manufacturers have an AVERAGE thermal conductivity for their sandwich panel.
Schedule
Have all initial purchasing requests sent by Tuesday
Have an experiment procedure designed with sponsor this Thursday
Continue to modify the simulation to represent the complexity in heat transfer due to perforated skin and the aluminum honeycomb core.
Continue to look into different manufacturers via calls and emails and make a list of costs and type of aluminum honeycomb core sandwiches.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
None Spent
Remaining: 5000
Progress on Report and Webpage
Report exists.
Webpage Updated
Presentation Updated for Week 1.
