Expected Results:

After modeling all the parts in ProE, we expect to be able to assemble the pieces together and animate them to show how the saw operates. Hopefully, we will animate the creation process, the normal function of the saw, and the removal/addition of a blade. After that, we hope to be able to use an ANSYS analysis to see the forces acting on different portions of the saw, focusing specifically on the blade and casing. Hopefully, we will be able to find the yield stress of the blade and the maximum hardness of the materials through which it can cut.

Work Distribution:

Christopher Clark: Outer Casings

Writing Assignments/Presentations

Danielle Launay: Gears/Bearings

Screws

Jonathan Lin: Switches

Speed Control Mechanism

Power Cord

John Sequeira: Saw Blades

Blade Retainer Mechanism

Rishi Wadhera: Plates/Washers

Shafts

We will all be equally responsible for the assembly and animation of the pieces, and for the force analysis portion of the project. We do, though, reserve the right to change these responsibilities as necessary, or to suit a particular members strongest abilities.
