156B Week 6

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

• Analysis issues persist. Extra steps to work on fixing issues and reaching out to others are being taken.

• Drawing with dimensions/angles of parts in process of production. 

• Knowledge of epoxy being used during assembly in process of being acquired

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• Completed project management and time allocation for tasks to accomplish before end of quarter (Angelica, Sean, & Sam)

• Compiled full list of interaction points on the bike / attachment schemes and coordinate with bike mechanic Jared for compatibility with his parts (Ved & Nicolas)

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

• Complete FEA. (Sam, Sean, & Angelica)

• Drawings of all tubes in assembly, including angle, radius,and length for both ends. (Sam & Nicolas)

• Obtain titanium stock available from Bill Holland. (Ved & Nicolas)

• Set up milling specifics tutorial with Bill Holland. (Sean & Sam)

• Learn how to apply adhesive to interface between carbon and titanium. (Ved)

• Begin milling titanium stock for welding. (Sean, Ved & Angelica)

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

• Compile a list of contact points between individuals within the trike team so that if problems arise, Jose knows who to talk to or how to resolve the issue. (2/9/17 in person)

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

• Modeling assembly as structure may help with modeling as a beam. (2/9/17 in person) Modeling as a beam did not stop analysis from failing.

• Consider use of beam elements as most relevant representation of model (2/9/17 in person) Modeling as a beam did not stop analysis from failing.

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

• N/A

Risks and Areas of Concern

• Solidworks analysis failure. May need to redesign parts to run accurate analysis or model simpler elements/geometry to get a working analysis.

Resources or Information Required but not Available

• Solutions to mesh control failure uncertain.

Schedule

Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
