Overview of Status
Finalized conceptual design, moving on to structural analysis and material selection
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Developed solutions to conceptual design issues
Sliding friction on yoke, replaced with rollers
Cyclic impact on yoke, replaced with rigid connection
Ordered and assembled all parts for risk reduction, ready to assemble and run trials
Goals for Next Week
Run risk reduction tests and report results
Finish CAD model for purpose of FEA
Sponsor Comments and Actions Taken in Response
Remove sliding plastic parts from Scotch-yoke design
Redesigned to use roller bearings
Calculate theoretical sample displacement
Uniform: 0.288 in
Sandwich: 0.018 in
Instructor Comments and Actions Taken in Response
Need to consider individual component analysis
Continue with conceptual design, spring and material selection
Risks and Areas of Concern
Attaining variable eccentricity in order to apply different load
Mitigating effect of sample degradation on applied load
Resources or Information Required but not Available
How to get reimbursed for purchases
