Some early analysis now can save you from having to scrap your design after spending hours building a prototype only to discover it won’t work. Use the engineering skills you have learned in other courses and apply them to your designs. Your analyses should be submitted as a part of your lab notebook in written form. Include a short description of what you are analyzing and some kind of analysis based on engineering principles. Each group member should complete at least one analysis, for a total of 4-5 per team.
This will be very project specific, a few ideas below to get you started:
Paper Based Analyses
Free body diagrams
Governing Equations (dynamics, fluids, heat transfer)
- Power calculations
Weight Budget
- Heat Transfer Analysis
- UML Diagrams
- Engineering Estimation
- Computer Based Analyses
- CAD
- FEA
- Simulink
- Kinematic Simulations
Matlab
- VHDL
- Multisim
- STACK: Heat transfer characteristics of stack material
- How fast heat dissipates depending on the material?
- How well different materials dissipate energy?
- We dont want quick energy dissipation ?
