General Testing (Composites and Adhesives)

General testing encompasses aspects of the vehicle that are commonly and largely manufactured such as CF composite products and adhesive joints.

The general testing will include the following milestones and due dates:

Design Project Testing (Specific Joints)

These tests will follow a similar project planning as the General Testing. The only difference is that the timeline would be more dependent on the needs of the design project.

Design of Experiments

Spring 2021 DRI: Ishan Saini

Design of experiments is looking to be applied in the Material Testing Project.
The goal of this project is for the team to gain familiarity with design of experiments software and see how it can improve the processes. The Material Testing Project would be the focused experiment or trial run of this.

In Spring 2021, Ishan is conducting research in the use of JMP software and how it can be applied in the team’s General Testing.
