Analysis
Critical Analysis:
- Deflection of beam with fixed ends – open or closed loop, variable moment of inertia (I)
Large I Small I 4
DETAILED DESIGN Slide – attached to the movable beam support
Beam – HDPE bar to show visible deflection; and seated in the channel to follow St. Venant’s
2 arrangements (tall, flat) to show effect of Principle and prevent any wedging/jamming of
moment of inertia on deflect; holes for the movable support
hooking spring scale
Handle (motor coupler) –
to turn lead screw that
moves the movable beam
support; will attach to
stepper motor for FPGA 7
Bearing blocks – to
support lead screw

SUMMARY
TIME BUDGET
- General trend in data measured
matches expected values
- Possible sources of error: Category Time [hours]
- Small deflection in certain cases Design (Individual + Peer Review + Final) 2.5
made measuring with ruler CAD 2.5
inaccurate Analysis 1.5
- Analysis assumed beam ends are Fabrication + Assembly 13.5
fixed but in reality there is some Testing 1
clearance between the beam and Documentation 2
their slots in the beam support, Total 23*
allowing for a slight slope at the
supports
*Total is higher than the usual because we
designed FPGA 5 to also be used for FPGA 7 8
