  1. Moving Armor Target (MAT) Track Jacob Feist Cleon Stanley Thomas Hutton Sladana Lazic 03/30/2006

  2. Agenda: • Project Scope • Review of Initial Designs • Review Final Design • Assembly • Problems and Solutions • Final accomplishments

  3. Project Scope • Portable and lightweight • Use Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) items • Interlocking parts that can be transported in a commercial truck • Reduced cost through reduced labor and maintaince • Mount on any soil base with minimum preparation

  4. Project Specifications

  5. Review of Initial Designs Main Frame Design Elevation Design Base Design

  6. Review of Initial Designs Insert Rail interlocking

  7. Final Design • Final concept is a fusion of previous ideas. • Angled side supports are used to add stability to the design. • Crossbars are moved in order to adjust the height of the rails.

  8. Final Concept: Primary Components Crossbar: Main Support:

  9. Final Concept: Primary Components Side Arm: Breaking Support:

  10. Assembly • Assemble the Main Base Supports • Assemble the Side Angled Supports

  11. Assembly • Add Crossbars to the Main Base Supports • Add Side Angled Supports

  12. Assembly • Connect the Main Rails to the Crossbars using the insert • Repeat the steps above and add to the first part

  13. Assembly Final Assembled View

  14. Calculations: Main Rail Weight: • Less that 150 lbs, the max weight as set by sponsor • 90 lbs should be easy to move and handle

  15. Calculations: Main Rail Bending Stress: The total stress in the beam is less than the yield stress Gives a Factor of Safety of 2.4 This shows that the main rail will support the total weight of the test cart

  16. Calculations: Main Rail Deflection: • Rail bends downward with most weight expected • Displacement approximately 1/8 inch • Some deflection expected, 1/8 inch small enough to be tolerated

  17. Problems and Solutions • Design • Cost/Budget • Order stalled due to financial difficulties • Storage of material • Transportation of material • Machining • Assembly

  18. Final Accomplishments • Easier assembly: Simple collar-pin design; minimum tools • Reduced assembly time: one section: ~5min 34sec full track: ~22hrs • Smaller assembly team: three people • Mobility: all part weigh less than 150 lbs • Height and terrain adjustable
