- Using Values to find relationship:
- Rock-West Composites has an extensive list of twill weave CFs, but with inconsistent values shown. I will try and find enough trends to create a relationship.
- McMaster-Carr Twill Weave CF - limited options but big list of info (mostly ranges):
- Example: 0.064" Thickness + 1.378" OD: https://www.mcmaster.com/5287T85/
- Contacted TA Regarding how to find relationship
- TA Conversation (please do not distribute attachments)
- Contacted other URC teams to ask how they reached their values (pending response)
- Did Simple Hand Calculations and confirmed using FEA
- MIchigan Team uses 2 x 2 Carbon Fiber Tubes
Forces acting on Rover
Very Rough Calculations with variable angle and weight of the beams:Rough Calculations
Hand Calculations (pending reviewing)
Next Steps are to put this on MatLab/Excel to be able to adjust angles, values etc.
Assumed weight of 1 2 x 4 beam through the following link: 2 x 4 CF Beam
