Plan for Wednesday, November 24, 2015

9:00

Review

  • Fluctuating stresses
  • Must check for yielding and fatigue failure
  • Equivalent fully reversed stress is needed to determine finite life cycles for fluctuating stress.

Goals

  • Discuss pure torsion loading
  • Compound loading

9:05

Self driving car videos and pictures

9:10

Quiz

9:20

Torsion (6-13)

Combined loadings

9:25

Compound loading example

9:40

Lots going on next week (last week of classes):

Homework #8 due on Monday (two fluctuating stress and one fluctuating compound loading)

Dynamic Loading Memo

  • Where are the largest stresses seen from dynamic loads?
  • How did you estimate the sigma max andd sigma min for the critical areas?
  • What static and fatigue material properties did you obtain for your material choices?
  • What type of fatigue stresses are seen?
  • Factor of safety?

Lightning talks on Friday

  • Can use visuals: doc camera, board, projector
  • 5 minutes to pitch your design (you will be cut off)
  • Pick one team member that is the best speaker and have them practice in front of you beforehand.
  • One method: ten slides at 30 seconds each
  • Each member develops ~2 slides, writes 30 second script, one person practices it
  • Look up pechakucha: concise presentations
  • It takes more time than you expect to make it concise!
  • The best talk will get a prize!
  • Andy Wyly will come to help judge.

Feedback!!
