Lecture 16 - Project Introduction,

Timeline, and Deliverables

Project: Experimental Apparatus for Determining the Static and Kinetic Coefficients of
Friction of Nuclear Grade Graphite at High Temperature and Pressure

Clients: Matt Luedeman (Bryan Riga, Dr. Karl Rink, Dr. Akira Tokuhiro, Dr. Gabriel
Potirniche)

Deliverables (due 4-16):

1) A complete design of the experimental apparatus (i.e. ready for fabrication)
2) A working prototype that demonstrates functionality at room temperature and
pressure
3) Complete documentation of design process
4) Intermediate milestones will be assigned as needed

Grading:
1) Quality of product
2) Quality of process
3) Quality of team

Class Schedule:
1) Project management (Wednesday)
2) Computational design tools (after break)
3) Project meetings (Tuesdays)
