Accumulation of Elastic Energy Using Glass Composite
Emergency systems require to be autonomous in energy. One way to store energy is to maintain elastically deformed adequate structure. This student team worked to address this problem by working to develop a specific structure composed of C spring made from glass fiber / epoxy composite. This student team also worked to develop a light and reliable way of storing mechanical energy while remaining possible to produce at low cost and at high rate. Anticipated deliverables for this project included: - A design proposal - A stress validation. - Coupon test evidence. - RC estimation - Weight evaluation - Investment's evaluation - Risk assessment at the end of the project
