156B Week 5

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

• • Week 5 was spent primarily brainstorming and deciding which designs to use for the Mini Wirewalker

    • Cam - design a cam that cannot deform, has only two possible positions

    • Latch - design a latch that cannot false trigger

    • Race - design a race that will not deform during assembly

  • Design matrix for each proposed idea for each design

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Every member has presented 4-5 ideas for all three major components of the Mini Wirewalker

  • We have selected a design for the cam mechanism and have set up design matrices for the otehr two mechanisms

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

• • Finalize proposed designs with SIO staff

  • Present proof of concept on Thursday in section

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

• • Dr. Ghazi, Zoom, 4/30 - our proof of concept can be CAD models and simulations since we obviously can't do testing, and a design matrix is good to have for explaining decisions

    • Created design matrices

    • Awaiting comments for report and website

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

Risks and Areas of Concern
