Adjustable Truck Topper Design By Adnan Malik Arian Andkhoie Kevin Cheung Client: New Wave Management Faculty Advisor: Prof. Richard Burton
Overview of Presentation • Problem Description (Adnan) • Constraints & Criteria (Kevin) • What have we done so far? (Arian) • Project Schedule (Arian)
Objective: To design a convertible truck box cover. Problem Definition Truck topper Truck tonneau CONVERSION
Constraints & Criteria • Must topper-tonneau conversion (and vice versa) should take 20-60 sec. • Assembly must be mountable by a maximum of 2 people. • While the assembly is operating in cannot take any room in the truck box. • Must be able to withstand a Canadian Winter • Must keep weight as light as possible
Constraints & Criteria (cont’d) • Cost < approx. $1500.00 (CAD)/UNIT • Manual conversion process from topper-to-tonneau and vice versa • Cannot obstruct rear-view mirror • Must fit contours of various trucks (i.e. different trucks will have different sizes but for this design we will be designing for a Toyota Tacoma 2006 ~ XRunner Edition).
What have we done so far? • Problem Formulation • Developed a detailed schedule • Comprehensive Literature Review • Material Selection • Analysis Scope Defined (Kinematics/Materials) • Conceptual Design Defined. • Challenge: Found a patent on design idea!
Project Schedule • Milestone 1: October 31, 2008 • Define a preliminary design solution • Start Analysis • Milestone 2: November 31, 2008 • Complete analysis • Milestone 3: January 15, 2009 • Initial Draft of Final Report Complete
THANK YOU CONVERSION
