Monocoque
Monocoque
Carbon Fiber monocoque made for a hyperloop;
Designed, tested, and built completely in-house.
what do we want to show here?
worked in a team of 7 and interfaced with 60+ kids
did this in house
simulated and ran a bunch of prototypes
Having a final mass of <4.7kg
My team Interfaced with 60+ other kids designing hardware to mount to our monocoque
Laminate [0/45/0/core/0/45/0] with additional layers around mounting locations
How'd it happen
Concept
Simulate
Interface
Layup
Characterizing our composites in the labs
Max load during flexural test [0/45/core/45/0]: ~23150N
Our Simulations were within <17% to lab results
Ansys ACP to simulate
Mounting Prototypes
Team: Hamad Qazi, Isabella Schneider, Mark Washington, Miklos Balogh, Terry Chu, Jinho Lee, Sammi Szeto
