Week 14: Presentations

In class presentations were given to which none of the small scale was able to present due to time constraint.

From the Gantt Chart, this week marks the beginning of the FEA analysis for the bogie design. The main areas of concern will be the articulating joint and servo arm for track switching. Last years arm model was able to achieve a safety factor of 8.5 which should be similar to this years model as it is similar. However the linkage system will also have to go FEA to ensure that there is not failure at the joint where the parts are expected to have the least material. The articulating joint will go under similar analysis.
