156B Week 7

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

• • Ready to begin building scale model

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Catenary/vibrations analysis progress

  • Scale model design completed

    • Scaling analysis proved trivial for our system. It should be able to easily scale for any weight of the ship by only scaling the force applied. 

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

• • Build scale model

  • Complete catenary/vibrations analysis 

  • Update and improve report

Risks and Areas of Concerns

• • Having enough time to complete everything.

  • Did we do enough analysis, when we spent so much time on vibrations.

Resources or Information Required but not Available

• • N/A

Schedule

• • Pick Out Parts for Large Scale Design

  • Design Small Scale/Dimensional Scaling Analysis

  • Purchase/Build Small Scale Model (3/3)

  • Cost Analysis/Failure Mode Analysis (FMECA) (3/10)

Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)

• • Amount spent: $0

  • Lab fee: $1,800

  • Amount Remaining : $8,200

Progress on Report and Webpage

• • We will continue to work 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.
