156B Week 9

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

• • Prototype

    • Pretty much finished

    • Just need to attach fabric

• Prototype possible changes

  • • Handle: change handle to less bulky and heavy material

    • Find rounded steel brackets for magnets to attach to

• Testing done so far

  • • Dampers: Drop testing with dampers in different locations

    • Magnets: initial testing with attaching and dis-attaching locker

    • Fabric glue: Gluing anodized aluminum sample to mesh fabric to test strength of glue

• Testing to be done

  • • Dampers: Better stabilized system and do more damper testing

    • Magnets: align magnet to bracket better so they are flush, test how well magnets hold up in wind

    • 4. A plan for completing the design by the Final Design Review

    • Made gifs of damping and magnets tests done

  • Website

    • • Wrote many of components sections under final design

• Adri

  • Presentation

    • Made annotated CAD & prototype image figures

  • Report

    • Proofread & cite references, tables, figures in Design of Key Components: Hinge and Dampers

      • Make and insert updated CAD figures

      • Insert plywood prototype 2.0 figures

  • Website

    • proofread website and gave feedback

    • Added to and elaborated on final design section

  • CAD

    • Found padlock CAD used for RFID, modified, and put it in CAD assembly

    • Modeled cabinet door dampers and put in CAD 

    • Extended side panels

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

• • Natalie

    • Report

    • Write Executive Summary 

• Everyone

  • Review other team's report and comment

• Annamarie

  • Finalize the Fabric design and implement in the prototype

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

• • Looks amazing

  • Meeting week 10 works best during their normal time

  • Would prefer more rounded brackets on the top to attach to the magnets

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

• • Lock tests planned probably aren't needed due to the rating of the lock itself

  • .06 mm might be too thin for the desired impact regarding the aluminum

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

• • Steel and aluminum components can interact with one another when in marine environments, leading to galvanization  (05/20)

Risks and Areas of Concern

• • We need to ensure that SurfUp's original RFID latch lock can integrate with the locker door design

Resources or Information Required but not Available

• • nothing

Schedule

• • Lock test: test the durability of lock around harsh environments. Approximate a working atmosphere where sand, salt water and ultraviolet will co-exist. 

  • Fabric test: find the best solution to locate fabric to our system, whether it is glue or fasteners (grommets). 

  • BOM: Important deliverable of our project. Gives full instruction and guidance to build our project. 

Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)

• • Spent: $227.43

  • Remaining: $2772. 57

  • Original: $3000

Progress on Report and Webpage

• • Webpage

    • Need to finish summary of results on home page

      • Sea water and sand testing results

      • Fabric glue testing results

      • Maximum capacity results

  • Add a complete demo video to multimedia page

  • Report

    • Complete Bill of Materials 

    • Finish conclusions

    • Add in more results for second plywood prototype
