156A Week 10

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

• • Design choice: in progress

  • Risk reduction: in progress

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Individual components analysis topics (risk reduction): assigned and set a due date (12/2/16) for completion/resource acquisition.

    • Materials in saltwater ( Yao)

    • Mechanical systems in saltwater (Jonathan)

    • Buckling (Kaveen)

    • Dimensional Scaling (Alex)

  • Completed preliminary individual design concepts and presented them to the sponsor.

  • Visited naval docking site

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

• • Finish risk reduction research. (have at least 3 sources (websites,books, etc.) for reference. (outlined above)

  • Compare and contrast design concepts to determine the optimal designs. (create a weighted scale system for ranking the designs)

    • Use this to determine the designs to pursue and perform analysis on.
