Monday, 22 March 2010
Minutes: 22/03/10
Tasks followed up:
Materials, winches and bearings suitable for the task were suggested (posted to blog and details also brought to meeting) along with their tolerances and specifications.
Calculations for the design chosen last meeting were attempted and it was established by most group members at the weekend that this design, although probably effective, was too complicated for us to successfully analyse.
As a consequence Designs (1), (2), and (3) were proliferated and given a basic analysis. Designs (2) and (3) were chosen by the group in the meeting.
Tasks for next meeting:
Finalise calculations for designs (2) and (3) to enable a choice of options for final proposal - for thursday.
Think of options for linking parts together - Pinning, slot parts?
Begin materials costings. (Aluminium for legs, steel for boom? - more durable? weight reduction?) (nb. Land-rover payload max 1500kg, tow 3000kg.)
Find weight of electric winches and post examples.
Future meetings:
Thur 25/03

Thursday, 18 March 2010
Minutes: 18/03/10
Tasks followed up:
- Individual designs verbally SWOT analysed by all of group. (Individual design drawings photographed and posted on blog.)
- R.D's design was deemed most appropriate solution and its SWOT analysis was noted.
- Design issues were then discussed and resolved and dimensions for the crane were established. This was in order to facilitate the group members going away and 're-designing' the 'initial design' with stress and bending moment analysis.
- Types of winch - electronic or hand, examples of both brought to meeting, costings and weights of mechanisms requested.
Tasks for next meeting:
- All group members to return with fully analysed free-body diagram of proposed crane design for comparison.
- Group members are also to look into bearing design for rotation of crane as well as faesible materials for the manufacture of the crane components.
