Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Preliminary phases of analysis
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Met with sponsor for kick-off meeting
Met with Prof. Tustaniwskyj for problem definition meeting
Met as a team to discuss details on risk reduction and individual component analysis
Acquired Solidworks files for hinge assembly
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Risk reduction presentation
Determine expected loading of hinge through free-body diagrams(Jason)
Determine methods to find factor of safety for yield failure of hinge (Nathan)
Research and construct stress-strain curve of given composite; identify key characteristics of curve (Kelly)
Research S-N fatigue curve of given composite (Roy)
Individual component analysis
Types of composites, compare given composite to other similar ones (Jason)
Types of pin designs (material, size, etc.) (Roy)
Types of inserts (screws, threaded inserts, etc.) (Kelly)
FEA software (ANSYS, ABAQUS, Solidworks Simulation) (Nathan)

Overview and explanation of the project
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Concern about risk reduction and fatigue life of new composite materials
Received specification data about composite from vendor
Risks and Areas of Concern (i.e. show stoppers)
Analysis of composite material may be difficult with Solidworks
Resources or Information Required but not Available
List of regulations/requirements of hinge material
Schedule
