This page and the following pages pertain to specific tests that we are planning on conducting during spring term, none of these are for specific panels, we will pick and choose then go from there.

Abstract/Summary

 

This section will include the following (and maybe some other stuff I missed?)

  • Highlight of results

  • What test we are doing (tensile, compression anvil pendulum etc.)

  • Some more specific information we missed, for example, we used our own equipment, we didn’t have the correct equipment so we had to choose something else, something that may have messed up our test results? (feel free to add other things you believe are important to note)

  • Lack of test specimens for the standard quantity that standards require?

  • Link to ASTM Standard summary?

 

Introduction

 

  • Here, outline a more thorough explanation of the test we are doing, explain why we are doing the test for context, what are we aiming to get out of it?

  • Add the composite failure modes we are expecting

  • Add what results we will believe should be relevant

 

Materials

 

Equipment required

*name of equipment and specific model if applicable*

*name of equipment and specific model if applicable*

*name of equipment and specific model if applicable*

*name of equipment and specific model if applicable*

 

Procedures

 

Here, I was thinking we could just give a short description of the whole setup and then a picture of the exact one we used during the test?

 

Test Specimen Prep

 

Here, we can outline how we prepared the specimen along with the dimensions we went with, sorta similar to what Tommy did here in the specimen prep section:F2020 - Bottom Panel Structural Evaluation?

 

Raw Data

 

  • Results obtained directly from the test

Processed Data

 

Preliminary calculations

 

In this section we will include the following:

Variable

*Value obtained with unit*

*any notes on it*

Post-testing calculations

 

Here, will include calculations we do after the test.

We can continue with another table or just add cells to the end of this table?

 

  • Graphs below this with a description of what the graph is showing

 

Discussion

 

Here, we can just explain what went/think went wrong and how we could’ve maybe avoided it if anybody wants to read this for future reference?

 

 

Conclusion

 

  • Here, we can include our final remarks and what we learned while going through this test

  • Validity of results

  • Conclusions

  • Implications

  • Some Highlight of Results (quantitative statements)

  • Trends

  • More stuff that I can’t think of?
