Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
G-machine provided better sensitivity mapping for the current buckle transducer (that is, R^2 value improved for Sensitivity vs CSA plots based on G-machine opposed to using Calipers)
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Conducted a test to compare sensitivity mapping for digital calipers and our cross-sectional area device.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Complete new prototype of G-machine. Work out sensor sensitivity.
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Project is now focused on building a cross sectional area measurement device instead of a tendon force transducer.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Presentation clarity needs to be improved
Bullets are too wordy
Too many significant digits in Excel calculations
Follow recommended assembly instructions for constant force spring.
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
We did not receive feedback cards from last presentation
Risks and Areas of Concern
Assembly of measurement device, specifically Hall Effect sensor - calibration, amplification, etc.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
None
Schedule
Now that all components for a complete cross sectional measurement device have been obtained, assemble a working prototype by Friday.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Spent $80
Available $6920
Progress on Report and Webpage
1st draft complete. Working on 2nd draft throughout this week
