156B Week 2

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

• • Working on full scale design analysis

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Individual component analysis

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

• • Research/Rotterdam research (alex)

  • Vibration (alex and jonathan) 

  • Thermal expansion (and how that effects tension, make sure not over constrained) (adam)

  • creep (and how that effects tension, make sure not over constrained) (kaveen)

  • Tension system design decision (everyone)

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

• • After consulting with the sponsor, it was determined that chains was the best design approach. We arrived at this conclusion based on our developed grading system and the sponsor's knowledge.

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments  (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

• • Conduct Thermal expansion analysis (Tustaniwskyj 01/10/17)

• Fixturing, making sure the ship does not rotate off the blocks (Delson 1/12/17)

Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

• • Work out presentation issues before presentation. Monday (12/5/16)

  • Share the responsibility when talking during presentations. Monday (12/5/16)

Risks and Areas of Concern

• • Thermal expansion: this is a concern because we don’t want the chains expanding or contracting due to temperature changes.

  • Vibration and ship movement

  • Scale model

Resources or Information Required but not Available

• • Industry knowledge on structures, adaptions, and code

Schedule

This week before 1/20

Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)

• • Amount spent: $0

  • Lab fee: $1,800

  • Amount Remaining : $8,200

Progress on Report and Webpage

• • Starting this week we will be working on the report.

  • We have uploaded a lot of information to the internal side of the webpage.

  • The webpage still requires some work all around.
