Christina Toroc, Parker Harding, Caitlin McHugh, Hunter Hughes Cable Storage Racks for Norfolk Naval Shipyard
Design Concepts • Static Rack - No moving parts - 4-Cell design - Sturdy, simple construction - Bolted connections for easy disassembly - Some welding required
Design Concepts • Dynamic Rack - Moving Parts - More involved construction - Bolted and welded connections - Damper mechanism
Design Direction • Static Design - Cheaper to construct - Negligible maintenance - Easy to repair - Safer - Approximately the same spool capacity as the Dynamic Rack
Design Conditions • Increase Accessibility • Increase Capacity • Reduce exposure to the elements
Connections • Both welded and bolted connections • End plate to distribute loads applied to HSS Column • I-beams are bolted for easy assembly and disassembly
PATRAN Analysis • Maximum displacement: 0.0575”
PATRAN Analysis • Bending Stress: 6710 psi
PATRAN Analysis • Axial Stress: 1270 psi
Remaining Goals • Consult Shipyard • Finish design • Cost and Labor Analysis • CAD blueprints
