hey guys, this blog seems so dead. havent updated it for 2 months? alright anyways, life has been so so. nothing major happenings other than the 3rd year workload.
theres the literature research project which is now done but was a tough thing to start off with. my topic was "Problems and Solutions of Carbon Nanotubes". Completed the report in within 4 weeks of reading references and typing up a summary of the findings.
Next, there is the DMT (design manufacture test) project which consists of 5 members working together to design, manufacture and test an engineering system or components. I was involved in Imperial Racing which is incharge of designing and building a car from scratch.
My group is incharge of the suspension, with our topic as "3M Suspension".
We're incharge of designing and building the wishbones, apexes, clevis joints.
We will be outsourcing the brackets with the chassis group.
Spherical bearings will be bought n used in our design.
The innovative carbon fibre tubes will be used in our suspension design instead of steel tubes.

The group consists of:
Ming - Team Principal
Me - Manufacturing Manager
Poh Shen - Technical Director
Lilian - Design Executive
Joel - Procurement Coordinator
We even have titles for each person in the group.
Before the xmas break, i had to manufacture the test piece for the carbon fibre tubes to join through adhesive.
Me manufacturing in the student teaching workshop (cutting the steel tubes to size)
Finished product (this took around 2 to 3 hours)
More to come~
If only you knew~
