Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Overall desgin is narrowed down to two finalized components and are being drawn up in Solidworks
Necessary Analysis has been conducted to narrow down design
Fabrication has yet to begin
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Narrowed down overall design to two possibilities
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Finalize components
Sponsor approval
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Wanted to see a few finalized and polished concepts
Working on component analysis and Solidworks drawings to finish concept generation
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Look more thoroughly into tribology and ways to measure friction
Researched and presented it in group presentations in MAE 156A Risk Reduction Presentations
Risks and Areas of Concern
Choosing between two final designs (compression measured frictional force and tension measured frictional force)
Staying within our budget while still being able to produce highly accurate measurements
Thermal expansion
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Schedule
Finalize concept
Finalize important parts to order (strain gauges, load cells, motor)
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Working with Professor Talke and Professor Jin and will have a better idea next week after component analysis
Progress on Report and Webpage
Webpage in progress
Individually working on component analysis
Drawing Solidworks concept
