156B Week 5
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Fabrication
Began tacking frame together. Estimated welding completion: 5/12
NI LabView setup for Proof of Concept (not using sensors)
Design
Water Brake Design finalized 5/2 and ready for manufacture
Final sensor ((RPM) to be chosen)
water system circuit complete- purchase fittings by 5/6
Testing
Testing of myRIO Daq (Proof of Concept)
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Finalized water system components
Choose temperature sensors
Finished water break CAD
More welding completed
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Incorporate sensors to DAQ as they come in (Chinaar)
Finish welding frame and engine subframe (Luke)
Have all water system parts come in for proof of concept (Cassandra)
Begin manufacture of water brake (Justin)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Changing water brake design- b/c of floating shaft on bearings 4/28
Action: Justin changed and finished water brake CAD
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Meeting 4/27 (in person)
Incorporate Kill Switch for protection and safety
ACTION: Kill Switch chosen by Chinaar
Use FSAE members for basic manufacturing help
Add additives to water to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth within the dyno system
gluaderhyde
For the temperature sensors, an RTD will require a thermal well and additional circuitry. Consider thermistors and thermocouples too.
ACTION: thermistors chosen by Chinaar
Ask greg about minimizing noise with sensors
Proof of Concept
myRIO and Labview VI (Chinaar to complete)
FEA of frame (Luke on this)
any other analysis
Do a storyboard for the sensors/DAQ with Labview (Chinaar)
block diagram for the entire system would be great
list all sensors to monitor and control
ACTION: completed by Chinaar
Incorporate rubber isolator for load cell into design and buy it
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Risks and Areas of Concern
Proof of Concept for Water System will need to be completed once parts come in
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Schedule
Proof of Concept presentation 53
Report and Website Draft due 5/5
Complete Design of Sensors by 5/5
Complete Welding of Frame by 5/12
Purchase All Water System Parts 5/5
Remaining schedule on Gantt chart
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
$1650 spent across various parts; $550 left to spend
Progress on Report and Webpage
Report Draft work broken down
Draft 1 Due 5/5
Cassandra to take over editing Webpages for team
