156B Week 4
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Proceed with new plate design.
Understanding of the kinematics and code implementation.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Finished first iteration of the new plate deign and prototype.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Improve and finalize the plate design
Implement the updated kinematics code.
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Improve the current design and print the plate with higher resolution
Consider the kinematics for flexible section using pure rotational function in the transfer matrix and ignore the translation. (Ignore the plates)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Sheath design might be difficult to achieve. Should consider a new plate design to prevent torsion.
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

Resources or Information Required but not Available
None at this point.
Schedule
Finish the new iteration of plate prototype.
Figure out the equation for the kinematics and implement it into MATLAB.
Update Gantt chart.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
None spent this week.
Progress on Report and Webpage
