Mechanical System A

Tools: Fusion 360, Back-of-the-envelope Analysis, Finite Element Analysis, Additive Manufacturing, Mechanical Design, Hardware Analysis

Timeline: 2 weeks

Overview:

I designed and manufactured the above component to withstand a weighted bucket using only two peg supports. I used force equilibrium, failure mode, and finite element analyses to identify a mass-efficient design that ultimately withstood twice the required load of 300N.
