Plastic Fantastic Assignment

This is a start to my plastic fantastic assignment which is going to be designing a product to help victums of some sort of disaster...
ongoing work...

Bridge Construction

This is a project i undertook as a group last year. The specification said to build a bridge out of Balsa Wood, we then had to make it retain and certain weight without breaking which it exceeded and held a little more.

this was due to the arch design and struts keeping it together.

when looking at how it broke it seemed to be due to one side being weaker than the other. maybe less dense wood on one side?

An assignment addressed to our 1st year Product Design Technology class.

As part of our design module, this consisted of trying to learn to notice things that are around you and what other things those products could interpret.

Toughness of Injection Molded Plastics

Fast Injection Flow.

Specimen No.	Recordings/Results. (Any other notes)
1	Shattered at 10cm
2	Shattered at 9cm
3	Shattered at 8cm
4	Shattered at 7cm
5	Shattered at 6cm
6	Shattered at 5cm (bounced back up when falling)
7	Shattered at 4.5cm
8	Didn’t shatter at 4cm (cracked)
9	Didn’t shatter at 3.5cm (cracked)
10	Didn’t shatter at 3cm (cracked)
11	Didn’t shatter or crack at 2.5cm (indent)
12	Didn’t shatter at 2.7cm (cracked)
13	Didn’t shatter at 2.6cm (cracked)
14	Didn’t shatter at 2.5cm (cracked)
15	Didn’t shatter at 2.3cm (cracked)
16	Didn’t break at 2cm (indent)
17	Didn’t break at 2cm (indent again)
18	Didn’t shatter at 2.2cm (cracked)
19	Didn’t break at 2.1cm (indent)
20	Didn’t shatter at 2.1cm (cracked)

It I proven in the results above that the point in which the plastic started to fail was around the 2.1cm mark.

Slow Injection Flow.

Specimen No.	Recordings/Results. (Any other notes)
1	Shattered at 10cm
2	Shattered at 9cm
3	Shattered at 8cm
4	Shattered at 5cm
5	Shattered at 4cm
6	Didn’t shatter at 3cm (cracked)
7	Shattered at 2.5cm
8	Shattered at 2cm
9	Didn’t shatter at 1.5cm (cracked)
10	Didn’t break at 1cm (indent)
11	Didn’t break at 1.4cm (indent)
12	Didn’t break at 1.5cm (indent)
13	Didn’t shatter at 1.8cm (cracked
14	Didn’t shatter at 1.7cm (cracked)
15	Didn’t shatter at 1.6cm (cracked)
16	Didn’t break 1.5cm (indent)
17	Didn’t break at 1.5cm (indent)
18	Didn’t shatter at 1.6cm (cracked)
19	Didn’t break at 1.55cm (indent) no crack
20	Didn’t break at 1.55cm (indent) small internal crack!

It I proven in the results above that the point in which the plastic started to fail was around the 1.5cm mark.

These pictures show the results and apparatus of a Lab Test i done previously last year.

This is the finished 3D model for my solidworks asessment.

Solidworks Assignment - Detailed Drawing of Piston Engine Assembly

Detailed Drawing of my piston Engine Assembly.

I designed this whilst attending Tyne Metropolitan College studying Engineering, this was related to my Project Module.

When I came to Northumbria University I then decided to modify this further and use it for a solidworks assignment.
