Our last presentation was given in this week. I also had a chance to speak with Dan and Ethan about my emergency braking design. Overall, Dan and Ethan seemed to have liked the Design. One thing Dan told me was that the brake material may shear off the metal pad backing upon deployment. This is something that needs to be tested and would be extremely difficult to calculate. Furthermore, the team is working on the final report as well. We saved all of our pictures throughout the semester so it should be easy to implement in the report.

In this week, I prepared for my part of the presentation. I was able to perform FEA on several parts in my assembly. My goal was to have a factor of safety of at least 2. Furthermore, we started to work on the project report and we are planning to finish it soon. I am looking to start my bill of material to insert into the final report as well.The pictures below are FEA of several parts of the assembly.
