Group 17 - Beginner Dirt Bike
Contents |
Introduction
| The labeled heading for this product design/analyses project is reverse engineering. During this process the group members will commence by noticing the easiest method to disengage the engine which seems to be of particular interest to the topic of analyses. The product website services will be employed based on the ease of understanding. Photographs will be taken in the process to better facilitate instruction on the disassembly and reassembly processes. These seem to be the most tedious tasks noticeable from the onset.
The Dirt Bike was not operational at first sight although it seems to have been ridden at some point due to observable tire dirt and wear on the sides of the teeth. The analyses entails that the engines be kept at less than perfect condition to perform FMEA on it. The failure mode collectively agreed upon is the flooding of the engine whilst running probably due to improper fuel air ratios by the carburetor. Probable design reviews will be required for submittal, much of which has not been discussed yet. The dexterity of the group is not necessarily high; neither is the hands-on knowhow. This might influence our collective power to approach problems whilst working without our levels of competence, although expedience has been relevant to this point and it is inferential that duties will be assigned. The closest to a project lead at present is the resonance of ideas as seems fit due to experiential skills gained before this class. This in turn limits delegation of difficult tasks. Contemplating the course of action is not an issue. The path to success has been laid down against such complaints on a generally accessible file, together with the previous schools and years of project outlines made available as templates. The major issue with the group at this point is scheduling meetings which should be taken care of by a timeline consensus explained in a Gantt chart posted. |
