Mechanical Design Concepts

Materials:

In our conceptual design we considered several materials for the structure of the probe. Theses materials include:

        Carbon Fiber

        Foam Insulation

        Aluminum

        Steel

        Ceramics

        Plastics

        Hard Wax

        Wood

        Rubber

 

We used these materials in our decision matrix to help develop a final conceptual system design.
