Hi, I'm Chris, a graduate from UTA.

School Projects

Senior Design Capstone - Mooring Cam

Project Moorway was tasked with taking a rock-climbing cam, which has been proven to be functional, and modifying it to be used in the saltwater fjords of Norway. Project Moorway focused on the development of a tension block, which would provide a constant force on the cam lobes themselves, along with preventing the cam from being pulled from the rock face.

A saltwater environment wreaks havoc on normal cams, the grease cam was designed so that marine grease could be utilized to prevent seizing.

"Walking" occurs when cams experience cyclical loading and will dislodge from the rock face. The wedge was designed to apply a constant normal force to the rock face to reduce walking.

The "wedge" had to be locked in place. The wedge lock was designed to grip tighter on the main body cable the harder the wedge was being pushed. This ensures the normal force on the rocks remains constant.

Project Moorway Final Prototype

Sunglass Manufacturing

The goal of this project was to take an everyday object, such as sunglasses, and then subsequently research and develop methods of manufacturing for each part. I took the face plate of the glasses and designed them in SolidWorks utilizing surface modeling to reproduce the slight curve on it. I then researched mulitple methods of manufacturing and created a Job Traveler to describe each step of the process.

Sculpture Arm Locomotion

Aided in another student's efforts to make their sculptures move by utilizing Arduinos, DC motors, and servo motors. Custom mounts were designed to hide much of the wires and circuitry on an as-needed basis.
