Design Exercise 2018 ENG 252 Dynamics – Mouse Trap Car: Specification Background This project will demonstrate the application of basic dynamics concepts of kinetic and potential energy, power, force, friction and torque in design of simple vehicle powered by the spring of a mouse trap. This document is a specification for the Mouse Trap Car project. As with all engineering specifications, failure to follow all requirements will result in adverse consequences for the engineer. Specification The task is to design and build a mouse trap car (vehicle with wheels or runners) that is powered ONLY by provided standard-size mouse trap. The mouse trap car must be capable to transfer (push or carry) the provided object (plastic glass) for 4.5 meters, leave the object and then return back to the start line as fast as possible. All students are responsible for their safety during the design, production and testing. Materials One mouse trap, 2 m of string and one object will be provided to each student. All other materials to build a vehicle are allowed but must be provided by the student. Specification Requirements · Vehicle must be activated and powered only by the provided mouse trap mechanism. No other energy source can be used. · The provided mousetrap (or any part of it, including the spring) cannot be altered or disassembled except for the mouse trap snapper arm and holes that can be drilled only for mounting the mouse trap to a car frame. The provided object cannot be altered in any way. · For external students: Track should be on non-carpeted area (i.e. building hallway, gym floor or similar), track should be 2 meters wide and at least 4.5 meters long with edges, start and 4.5 m lines marked with tape along the track. 4.5 meter or longer measuring tape should be used to show the track area. Make a video of vehicle performance that clearly shows measuring tape and vehicle crossing over the start line, driving along the track, leaving the object and returning to the start position. If any part of the video is edited or cut, the Performance will be marked with 0. Rules · Each vehicle will be inspected before the start. The lecture has a final decision as to appropriateness of design or materials used for the vehicle build. · The vehicle must start from the rest, and be activated only by mouse trap mechanism; student will be responsible for starting the vehicle. · Students are not allowed to touch or influence the vehicle movement in any way once the mouse trap is activated. · Provided object or any part of the vehicle must not cross the start line before the activation of the mouse trap. The whole object must be left over the 4.5 meter mark (without touching the mark line) before vehicle returns to the start/finish line. · Time for each vehicle will be recorded; the maximum performance score will be given to the student with the fastest mouse trap car that correctly completed the task. Performance (max 15%): Team Performance = · If the vehicle does not go at least 4.5 m and return to the start line there will be a second try. If the vehicle fails twice to complete the task, the performance mark will be 0. Report Specification A formal engineering report is required. Report requirements are given below: Length · No more than 4 pages of text, plus diagrams sketches and photographs as appropriate. Content · Your name · How you decided on your design · What materials did you use, and why · Description of the Dynamics concepts used to increase performance of the car (reach the correct distance, change the direction and increase the speed of the Mouse Trap Car) · Can you estimate the distance your car can reach from the length of the mouse trap snapper arm and/or string. Show the example of your calculation (What other factors can influence the results?) · For vehicles which were not tested at the university, video evidence of your vehicle performance (see the section Specification Requirements) · Brief description of how your Mouse Trap Car performed under test · Possible improvements to your vehicle · References Do not include · Information already given in this specification Testing Internal students will have their vehicle tested on campus during the afternoon workshop of Week 10. External students able to come to the University can also have their vehicle tested then. Otherwise, external students should include video in the report to demonstrate compliance with specification requirements and show the performance of their Mouse Trap Cars. Report Submission The report must be one electronic document only in PDF format. Submission is through the link under Submit Here on Learnline. Extensions cannot be given, and reports not in PDF format will not be marked.
