156B Week 3
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Equations of motion were established
Dynamic simulation of model is almost complete
FEA analysis was started
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Gave Design Proposal Presentation 4/14/20
Established equations of motion and started dynamic simulation of system
Started rough FEA analysis of beam arm to establish factor of safety
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Complete dynamic simulation of the system based on equations of motion determined last week (Nicholas)
Review the simulation and equations of motion with advisor during meeting (all)
Have an updated CAD design with a bucket attachment (Peter)
More research needed into high-impact material for enclosure (Labiba)
Work on report (Labiba, David, Clara)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Make sure we can manufacture mostly in-house (Erik 4/14/20)
Still not on board with a polycarbonate protective enclosure; will send some research on high-inpact materials (Twyman 4/14/20)
Payload system → cameras inside box (idk if this is within our scope, doesn’t seem like it)
Bucket handle idea:
-Wants any updated pics/cad/drawings (Erik + Twyman 4/14/20)
-Simulation in progress (pending full sim + discussion w/advisor before final decision is made)
New scope looks good/deliverables are pretty much in line with requirements (Erik + Twyman 4/14/20)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Gave Design Proposal presentation 4/14/20
Was asked about decision for length of beam arm --> waiting on simulation to confirm best length, still open to changing
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
