156A Week 10
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Each team member chose their best design for his/her component
Finalized the design
Working on creating preliminary CAD models of each component
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Brainstormed and drew multiple design ideas for each component
Discussed each ideas thoroughly, weighing the pros and cons
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Finish the CAD and begin testing our components using FEA
Figure out what is the main source of risk for each component and how to reduce it
Determine materials to be used and quantity for weight analysis
Make a list of parts we would need to build a functional prototype and start ordering them
If there is enough time, start to build the prototype and do real-life tests
For FBD analysis, determine the forces and moments within the arm and joints

We're heading in the right direction with our design ideas
Base clamp attached to ultrasound machine looks promising
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in-person)
Individual Component Analyses have been conducted using subsystems. Also, we are taking into account the patient as an individual component
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in-person)
N/A
Risks and Areas of Concern
Size limitations of arm creates a limited workspace and require a compact design
Didn't fully address the safety parameter of the arm if a patient suddenly moves
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Require measurements on ultrasound machine for the base clamp
After measurements are taken, redesign the base clamp so it can attach onto the ultrasound machine
Schedule
Describe the upcoming milestone
Update Gantt chart
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Amount Spent: $0
Amount Remaining: $1000
Progress on Report and Webpage
Made the progress report for Week 10
Updated Team page, Home page, and Gantt chart
Uploaded presentations, individual component analyses, and CAD files
