Robert Tanner completed his third year of a mechanical engineering degree. He passed all of his units, with marks ranging from 42 to 100 out of various maximum scores. His third year assessment contributed 40% to his degree mark, which he achieved with a mark of 73. He passed his year and will progress to the fourth year of his degree program.
The document reports on a project to determine the validity of using fracture mechanics to predict failure in lattice structures. Lattices with two and four circular unit cells were cut from PMMA and cracks of varying lengths and configurations were introduced. The lattices were loaded in tension and cracks were observed to see if they propagated as predicted. Material properties of PMMA were measured. Critical crack lengths and loads were measured and used to build finite element models to estimate stress intensity factors, which were compared to PMMA's fracture toughness. The stress intensity factors of the cracks were found to be close to or below the fracture toughness, indicating fracture mechanics may not fully predict failure of large lattices.
Robert Tanner completed his second year of a Mechanical Engineering degree, passing all units. His performance was assessed as part of his second year, contributing 10% to his degree mark of 68%. He will progress to the third year of his program. The transcript provides unit titles, credit values, ranking of marks within each unit, and pass/fail results for each unit taken in the 2014-2015 academic year.
The document outlines the steps to simulate the motion of an electric motor:
1) Import motor and gearbox data and calculate initial parameters.
2) Set initial conditions and start the simulation.
3) Calculate torque and acceleration at each time step and update position and velocity.
4) Check termination conditions and exit or continue to the next time step.
This document presents the results of an experiment and simulation investigating the properties of turbulent jets. Laser-induced fluorescence and particle image velocimetry were used to capture experimental data, while MOBILE software was used to simulate jets. Inlet velocity, virtual origin, and other properties were estimated from the experimental and simulation data using image processing and analysis in MATLAB. The results from experiment and simulation were found to correspond reasonably while some error was present.

This document summarizes a student project modeling road traffic dynamics. The project models the flow of cars in lanes of a motorway over time using arrays to represent velocity and separation. The program calculates acceleration for each car based on target speed and separation, storing values over multiple time increments to model driver reaction time. Graphs of average velocity, separation and traffic density over time demonstrate car behavior and the effects of changing parameters. The program works as intended but could be improved with additional realism factors like curved roads or weather conditions.
The finite element analysis determined the suitability of a titanium panel to replace the floor of a rescue helicopter. Three mission scenarios were modeled: 1) with a 100kg winch attached and the panel built-in, 2) with the winch attached and the panel simply supported, and 3) with distributed 10kg grain sacks and the panel built-in. Finite element models were generated and found to accurately predict stress and deflection, matching analytical calculations. The models determined that scenario 1 and 2 posed no yield risk, and the helicopter could safely carry at least 250 grain sacks in scenario 3.
Robert Tanner completed a year-long industry placement at Dstl Security Sciences from September 24, 2013 to September 6, 2014. During this time, he engaged in various technical tasks including data analysis, technical drawing, electronics manufacturing, procurement, testing equipment evaluation, bench tests and trials, and editing technical documents. Some of his achievements included building and testing 25 antenna simulators, designing a bench-testable receiver, contributing to a technical datasheet, and wiring USB cables for use in trials. He also improved his skills in areas like Matlab, technical drawing, soldering, and professional conduct within a workplace.
Robert Tanner received passing marks in his first year of a Mechanical Engineering degree. He took 8 units, receiving marks between 63-89. His overall first year mark was 73, allowing him to progress to the second year of the program. The transcript provided his unit marks and results for the 2013-2014 academic year.
This document describes a computer based modelling project to simulate temperature distribution across a plate. The author developed a MATLAB script and graphical user interface (GUI) to allow users to input parameters and visualize the iterative temperature corrections. Key aspects included designing the GUI, implementing a method to correct temperatures using matrix operations based on Laplace's equation, and addressing challenges in modelling a central conducting hole. The completed project allows flexible adjustment of simulation variables and outputs clear graphs of the temperature distribution.
This document provides an overview of drilling, reaming and grinding processes. It describes how drilling uses a rotating multi-point drill bit to cut circular holes. Reaming enlarges and finishes previously drilled holes to tight tolerances. Grinding uses an abrasive wheel to remove small amounts of material from a workpiece. The document discusses various drill bits and reamer types, factors that influence accuracy and surface finish, and considerations for production economics with each process.
Light Aircraft Landing Gear Strut Group 6 ReportRobert Tanner
The document analyzes materials for the landing gear strut of a Cessna TTX light aircraft. It translates design requirements into constraints and objectives, screens materials based on compressive strength and corrosion resistance, ranks materials based on indices that minimize weight and maximize buckling resistance and fatigue endurance. Magnesium alloy is selected as it is lightweight, inexpensive, and easier to manufacture than aluminum alloys, though composites are increasingly common in aircraft.
