2. Agenda: Project Scope Project Scope Review of Initial Designs Review of Initial Designs Review Final Design Review Final Design Assembly Assembly Problems and Solutions Problems and Solutions Final accomplishments Final accomplishments

3. Project Scope Portable and lightweight Portable and lightweight Use Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) items Use Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) items Interlocking parts that can be transported in a commercial truck Interlocking parts that can be transported in a commercial truck Reduced cost through reduced labor and maintaince Reduced cost through reduced labor and maintaince Mount on any soil base with minimum preparation Mount on any soil base with minimum preparation

4. Project Specifications Length of Track 1000 ft – 1800 ft Elevation of Track Up to 20 inches Minimum Radius of Track 430 ft Slope Grade of the Track -5 to +5 degrees Maximum Weight of Track Components 150 lbs MAT Weight 2100 lbs MAT Dimensions 7 ft by 22 ft MAT Speed 55 ft/s

5. Review of Initial Designs Base Design Elevation Design Main Frame Design

6. Review of Initial Designs Insert Rail interlocking

7. Final Design Final concept is a fusion of previous ideas. Final concept is a fusion of previous ideas. Angled side supports are used to add stability to the design. Angled side supports are used to add stability to the design. Crossbars are moved in order to adjust the height of the rails. Crossbars are moved in order to adjust the height of the rails.

8. Final Concept: Primary Components Crossbar: Main Support:

9. Final Concept: Primary Components Breaking Support: Side Arm:

10. Assembly Assemble the Main Base Supports Assemble the Side Angled Supports

11. Assembly Add Crossbars to the Main Base Supports Add Side Angled Supports

12. Assembly Connect the Main Rails to the Crossbars using the insert Repeat the steps above and add to the first part

13. Assembly Final Assembled View

14. Calculations: Main Rail Weight: Less that 150 lbs, the max weight as set by sponsor Less that 150 lbs, the max weight as set by sponsor 90 lbs should be easy to move and handle 90 lbs should be easy to move and handle

15. Calculations: Main Rail Bending Stress: The total stress in the beam is less than the yield stress The total stress in the beam is less than the yield stress Gives a Factor of Safety of 2.4 Gives a Factor of Safety of 2.4 This shows that the main rail will support the total weight of the test cart This shows that the main rail will support the total weight of the test cart

16. Calculations: Main Rail Deflection: Rail bends downward with most weight expected Rail bends downward with most weight expected Displacement approximately 1/8 inch Displacement approximately 1/8 inch Some deflection expected, 1/8 inch small enough to be tolerated Some deflection expected, 1/8 inch small enough to be tolerated

17. Problems and Solutions Design Design Cost/Budget Cost/Budget Order stalled due to financial difficulties Order stalled due to financial difficulties Storage of material Storage of material Transportation of material Transportation of material Machining Machining Assembly Assembly

18. Final Accomplishments Easier assembly: Easier assembly: Simple collar-pin design; minimum tools Reduced assembly time: Reduced assembly time: one section: ~5min 34sec full track: ~22hrs Smaller assembly team: Smaller assembly team: three people Mobility: Mobility: all part weigh less than 150 lbs Height and terrain adjustable Height and terrain adjustable
