In addition we are also working on our final presentation as well as final report.Brean Aquinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17899656832878230538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383857851954706804.post-44273405886875467572017-04-26T10:57:00.001-07:002017-04-26T10:57:28.331-07:00Week 12 (April 19 - April 26)For this week we had to take the milling class at Redwood City in order to be able to have access to the mills at Tech shop. Now that we can use the mills, we are able to drill holes at a much faster rate as opposed to using a drill press and adjusting the position of the piece every time we want to drill a new hole.Brean Aquinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17899656832878230538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383857851954706804.post-19271394807603649482017-04-19T12:21:00.000-07:002017-04-19T12:21:09.841-07:00Week 11 (April 12 - April 19)For this week we had to go to TechShop to continue working our system, which included drilling holes, sanding, cutting, and many other shop skills. We are now able to start putting together some of our pieces, which will continue on to the next week.Brean Aquinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17899656832878230538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383857851954706804.post-48381240616835300312017-04-10T11:59:00.001-07:002017-04-10T11:59:25.670-07:00Week 10 (April 5 - April 12)For this week we were able to go to the San Jose tech shop and be able to work there and we were able to put a lot of hours into our system. Also in this week we had to go to the Redwood City tech shop, because the San Jose one didn't have some of the equipment we needed up and running yet, such as the sander.Brean Aquinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17899656832878230538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383857851954706804.post-68521880761476215762017-04-05T12:58:00.001-07:002017-04-05T12:58:41.784-07:00Week 9 (March 29 - April 5)For this week we had to go to Redwood City to continue building our system in addition to working on our presentation.

TechShop in San Jose is closed for the week. We were able to weld
together the metal square tubes for the bottom part of our tilt
mechanism. My main job for the day was to make sure the square tubes
were properly sanded, which includes making sure that they are even and
can stand up properly and I had to make sure that I didn't over sand it
because if I did then we would have to cut up brand new square tubing.

After we got our aluminum we went to Tech Shop to cut it up to its proper sizes. Now that we have those finished we can start putting those together in order to make our tilt mechanism.

At first we were re-drawing the parts in AutoCAD then converting it, but then one of our fellow colleagues told us we could convert it to the water jet file straight from Solid Works, which saved us a lot of time. So now whenever we get our materials we can water jet anytime we want.Brean Aquinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17899656832878230538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383857851954706804.post-66361432455275731832017-03-05T15:43:00.000-08:002017-03-05T15:43:23.052-08:00Week 5 (March 1 - March 8)For this week, we went to TechShop to start welding some parts together. Since we are still in the process of getting our bill of materials approved, we were fortunate enough to have another team member have extra amount of the same part we need. So it was good to get the ball rolling in assembling our system despite the lack of parts.

Personally that was a good experience because I got to hear about what other people are researching and most of them are really interesting especially the ones who won the awards. Other than that we went to a couple places that sell metals and we were able to get quotas from them.Brean Aquinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17899656832878230538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383857851954706804.post-5769665139264148892017-02-15T09:26:00.001-08:002017-02-15T09:26:27.651-08:00Week 2 (Feb 8 - Feb 15)For this week, other than trying to get whole bill of materials situated out, I was working on our team's poster for the Celebration of Research Event which can be seen below.<br />

One of the reasons why it hasn't been approved yet is because we haven't found a motor for a reasonable price. Therefore this week I have been trying to find a motor that would fit our needs for a reasonable price, if not donated to us.

I put a lot of time on this, so that when we have to turn in the final draft, it would be easier for us because we just need to make a few corrections. For the second half of the week, we are planning which parts to make a 3D model out of and how to make the models look nice, because from previously the quality of the parts is not up to par.

We realized we forget to apply force analysis to the overall system because we had 9 equation with 12 unknowns. The calculations can be seen below.<br />

This will be helpful because now we can do a rapid prototype to see if our system will work. In addition this was the first piece we printed, so there are some ways to clean up the piece by updating/fixing the CAD drawings. A picture of the 3D printer in motion printing one of our parts can be seen in the Active Suspension Team Blog.

The calculations include the graphical, force, and stress analysis. In addition I also had to practice my part for the presentation, so that we can improve from the previous presentation.

Subsequently, using stress analysis I was able to come up with the needed cross-sectional area for our mechanism. As a team, we are currently working on determine the correct size of the motor.

It's a combination of what I learned from my statics and mechanical design class in order to execute the amount of force that the tilt mechanism can take.<br />

Solid Works is kind of similar to Creo, which I am more comfortable with, but the buttons are all in different places. My partner is able to get me up to speed, so that I can start making parts for the suspension system.

<br />
Compared to Week 4's research, instead of looking up professional articles, I decided to just use google instead to see if I can get anything useful. Pretty much found the same thing, suspension systems for a car. Although, the figure below is a schematic of they want to model external disturbances and quantify the design objectives such as the road, quality of sensors, and availability of controlled forces. It will be interesting to see if I can somehow apply this to our design by replacing the road variable with a railing variable or anything of that matter.<br />

In this event I was able to listen to speakers basically from all over Silicon Valley and give their stance on innovation. From the many speakers I heard, only a couple phrases stuck with me, such as the one where the speaker basically says everywhere else in the world, doesn't need you, but San Jose needs you. So as an SJSU student my priority is innovating the city of San Jose first, before any other city and the Spartan Superway allows me to just do that. Another thing that stuck with me, that basically every speaker touched on is what's next? They all talked about how can we make San Jose better or what's a solution to all the problems caused by traffic.<br />
<br />
Ultimately, this was an inspiring event which will motivate me even more to try my best in the Spartan Superway project to actually get something working. Below is a picture of me right before the event started.<br />

I wanted to look at professional articles to see how they approach designing an active suspension. Even though these articles are for four wheel vehicles, I can still take some of their ideas and apply it to the active suspension of the pod car. Most of these articles displayed there controls schematic on how they plan to utilize the active suspension and along with all of their calculations. One interesting concept I got from these articles is shown in Figure 1.<br />

<br />
Figure 1 shows how everything is applied and it seems like it is working perfectly fine for them. So if I can some how take some parts such as their suspension system setup and be able to apply it to the pod car of the spartan super way, then our design process can go a lot smoother.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
For the week of September 7 - September 14, my partner and I
are in the beginning stages of designing the active suspension. We each come up
with ideas and then we critique them to come up with the best overall and cost
effective design. For example, a potential idea was using a scissor lift as a
way to level the car. This is necessary when the car is held by springs because
once a certain amount of weight enters the car it will create a displacement in
the springs which will cause the car to be lower than what it is supposed to
be. If the car is significantly lowered, it will not align with the platform
resulting in unsafe loading and unloading for the passengers. This is why a
leveling system is necessary if the car is hanging from springs. Although if we
have the springs/shock absorbers in the horizontal position rather than the car
hanging for it, then would it be necessary to add the self-leveling system to
the bogie? As engineers currency is always a huge concern, so if there is any
opportunity to save money without sacrificing the quality of the bogie, then
that would be a huge plus for us. My partner and I are still deciding whether
or not to spend the money to get a leveling system, which ultimately depends on
the final design we choose. </div>
