Heard back on 10/15/14. Another email was sent to Tyler Lynch (co-captain) about finding a time to meet with them an no reply has been received yet. Contact Manitou (specialty concrete mix/ possible materials)10/7/14Andrew10/22/14Talked about proper use for glenium. Also discussed water to cement ratios. Found out they would be willing to donate materials.Decide on Subsystems10/9/14Team10/9/14Completed Order concrete mixing material for old mixture10/9/14Treasurer10/23/14Found leftover material from P14416. Decided to benchmark more material based on recommendation from last years team before we order any material.Hesitant to purchase due to uncertainty of quantity needed (coconuts shells). Turns out we did need the desired quantity after first run of cement mixing.Risk Assessment (update weekly)10/12/14, 10/19/14Edge updater10/12/14, 10/19/14,10/26/14Updated once on 10/19 and once again on 10/26Concrete test plans write ups10/12/14Mechanical Engineers/ Industrial EngineerPhase 4Was put off for next phase due to lack of experience. Used previous group’s plan for initial testing. Gained more experience to write test plans for next phase.Benchmarking materials for concrete mixture (seek SME)10/12/14TeamPhase 4Did an initial benchmark for cement materials. Didn’t decide on final materials. During initial testing, we found previous group used too much cement and not enough aggregate. Using that information, cement materials will be finalized in phase 4. Benchmarking for structure material (burlap/cloth)10/12/14Peter10/12/14CompletedBenchmarking for structure material (bamboo)10/12/14Erin10/12/14CompletedBenchmarking for structure material (metal)10/12/14Kevin10/12/14CompletedBenchmarking for support material (PVC)10/12/14Alyssa10/12/14CompletedBenchmarking for support material (Bamboo)10/12/14Andrew10/12/14CompletedBenchmarking for support material (Wood)10/12/14Andrew10/12/14CompletedBenchmarking for support material (Metal)10/12/14Kevin10/12/14CompletedDecide on FEA software (Solidworks/Creo/Comsol)10/13/14Mechanical EngineersPhase 4Consulted with Dr. Venkat on Comsol, he will not be able to assist us with 3D analysis. Still deciding between Creo and Solidworks. Kevin will contact DeBartolo for input on either software.Contact/Research safe company (foaming concrete to reduce weight)10/14/14AlyssaNot pursuing furtherResearch did not yield any useful information nor an easy way to contact the company. Foaming pump used by canoe team is no longer available. Not feasible due to budget and time constraint.Ringbeam benchmarking10/14/14AndrewPhase 4Wasn’t even considered for this phase. Major emphasis was on concrete mixing and testing. Ringbeam will have to wait until the base has been finalized. Concrete old mixing material received 10/20/14TreasurerPhase 4Coconut shells were ordered on 10/23/14. Not received yet. Basic materials were purchased at Walmart and Home Depot.Sub-Systems Review10/20/14-10/24/14Team10/28/14Will occur on 10/28/14Narrow down base concepts10/21/14Team DecisionPhase 4Taking longer than expected. New ideas keep coming up for consideration.Engineering Analysis (demonstrate feasibility of critical technology)10/21/14Mechanical Engineers Phase 4Completed some feasibility analysis.Retest old concrete mix (P14416)10/24/14Team10/24/14Completed initial test. Concrete mix is not exact of last year’s mix due to unclear documentation and limited coconut pare new concrete results to old10/24/14Mechanical EngineersPhase 4We finished testing, but we are waiting on coconut shell to get proper test mix.Benchmarking mold10/24/14Peter/TeamPhase 4Have initial feasibility research done. Need to refine once we have base concepts.Rest of test plans write ups10/24/14Mechanical Engineers/ Industrial EngineerPhase 4Not enough time during this phase. Wasn’t urgent.Team self-assessment10/28/14TeamNotebook Review10/31/14TeamEDGE Updated10/31/14Team Leader/EDGE UpdaterOn 10/23 we went through and added a subsystems page to edge.Peer Review11/2/14TeamGuide Review11/2/14TeamStart new concrete mixPhase 4Key Outcomes:Choose whether to use old cement mix or notGet Manitou to help/give insight for projectStart testing new cement mixturesComplete test plans write upTeam progress updates and feedback at meetingsNarrow down to 2 concepts and 2 bases with integration ................
