Any group with a laboratory on Monday will always do their laboratory on the week following the week they are scheduled.
Laboratory Reports:
Short Forms: After performing each experiment, students must complete and turn in their respective short forms to the laboratory TA before the end of the laboratory period. These forms will be graded and returned in the next class. The short forms are included in the laboratory handout at the end of each experiment description.
Formal Reports: Each student will have to write two formal reports during the semester. Students writing their report will turn in their rough draft one week after completing the lab (For example, a week 5 lab report is due at the beginning of the lab in week 6). The draft reports will be reviewed by your laboratory TA and Craig Gunn, and suggestions for improvement will be provided to the student at the following week’s lab period. The revised, final, version of the report is then due at the beginning of the lab period 3 weeks after the lab. The final version of the report will be graded.
Draft: Two copies of the report must be submitted
Final: One final report copy, two marked up drafts and electronic copy (emailed to TA)
Notes:
|(1) |100% laboratory attendance is mandatory. |
|(2) |Laboratory work accounts for 25% of the overall grade for ME451 |
|(3) |Students can reschedule their laboratory time only in special situations, through PRIOR arrangements made with TA’|
| |s. If a laboratory is missed without prior arrangement, the student will receive a zero. |
|(4) |Short forms have to be submitted at the end of the laboratory |
|(5) |Late formal reports will not be accepted unless PRIOR arrangements have been made with the laboratory coordinator.|
|(6) |Laboratory handouts are available in the course web pages |
|(7) |Read the laboratory handout for each week’s lab BEFORE coming to the laboratory. You may otherwise face difficulty|
| |completing your experiment. |

DATE: August 31, 2011
SUBJ: Instrumentation for Flyer ™ Disk Drive Development Tests
1. The Mechatronics Development Group is currently in the first phase of design, development, and testing of a new compact Flyer ™ Disk Drive for home computer use. The goal of this project is to provide a new standard in home computer speed and reliability. This new Disk Drive should provide 30% better power efficiency along with a 100% increase in Mean Time Before Failure MTBF over currently available products in the marketplace. The new disk drive design should reduce system costs, increase reliability and performance over existing disk drives and provide a significant reduction in noise and vibration levels. The disk drive will use whatever state-of-the-art materials and techniques are required to achieve the above goals with a 10 year MTBF.
2. During the next 15 weeks, all members of the Development Group will participate in the testing and evaluation of instrumented prototype systems. This instrumentation will be used for development testing during the second phase of the project. It is important to understand the characteristics of the instrumentation and its operation as well as the control technologies involved so that we will be able to conduct laboratory tests of the new product quickly and accurately using the best techniques available. Each week for ten weeks, the Controls Group has assembled an exercise in one of the technical areas required for our development program. Our technical staff will help you investigate ten of these topics.
TOPIC
First-Order Plant: DC Servo Motor
Second-Order Plant: Mass-Spring-Damper System
Sinusoidal Response of a First-Order Plant: DC Servo Motor
Sinusoidal Response: Torsional Mass-Spring-Damper System
Sinusoidal Response: Operational Amplifier Circuit
Control of a System with Process Delay
3. You will prepare a short report on each of the above areas and formal technical reports on two of the above areas. The staff will provide a sheet outlining the issues to be addressed in each short report. Information on the format of the two Formal Technical Reports is included in the laboratory documentation.
