Team 6 Capstone

 University of Houston Capstone Team 6 - Blog 4 From the work period of November 11, 2023 - November 25, 2023 Seal Team 6 has completed the first three milestones and has started working on task 4a. In Milestone 1, the team kicked started off the project and define the constraints of the project with the SLB client. In Milestone 2, the team worked on the design feasibility evaluation where it evolved research and brainstorming different design models for the client. In Milestone 3, the team completed the 3D design analysis and present it to the client. During that process team 6 had to calculate the heat transfer of the chamber and the spring as well as ensuring the device is accumulated within the budget of the client. Team 6 is currently working on presenting the part list and equipment needed to manufacture the design. In order to start ordering the items on the bills of materials (BOM). After obtaining all the parts the team will work on assembling the components that will include

At the time the team was 50% completed with milestone 2 and were brainstorming different design solutions to present to SLB during their weekly meetings with final top pick designs. After finalizing the design solution with the client the team worked on the  heat transfer calculations of the chamber and spring to determine the thickness of the desire insulation required to protect the load cell from the high heated temperatures.  To determine the stability and dimensions of the designed frame the team also performed solid mechanics calculations based on the expected loads. Finally, on November 11, 2023, the team finalized the CAD designs with the SLB to begin the next stages of prototyping spring compression testing devices. The team is currently working on task
