156B Week 8

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

• • Finishing analysis, starting to build scale model

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Report updated significantly

    • Vibration analysis (Alex)

    • Thermal expansion/creep (Adam)

    • Large scale component analysis (Jonathan) 

  • Dock/Table CAD drawing (Jonathan)

  • Ship CAD (Adam)

  • Second demo (static) (Alex)

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

• • Finish CAD for vibration demonstration (Jonathan & Adam)

  • Start looking into earthquake simulation/programming (Alex)

  • Buy supplies (wood, acrylic) (Team)

  • Start building scaled model (Team)

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

• • OK with wooden model vs aluminum

  • Requests report for review

  • Talked about scale sizes: Vibrations model: 1:50 Scale (aprox 2'x1'x5'' total), Superficial model: 1:350 Scale (aprox 3'x1'x1')

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

• • Put names on assignments for these weekly updates

  • Possible to use plastic material instead of aluminum for construction. Call Modulin? (Going to talk with Tom once we have our CAD designs)

  • Direction of vibrations analysis 

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

• • N/A

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: $51.05

  • Lab fee: $1,800

  • Amount Remaining : $8,148.95

Progress on Report and Webpage

• • We will continue to work on the report. Second Draft completed

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

  • The webpage still requires some work all around. Will work on this the following week
