Pirate Ship Attraction

• The goal of this lab was to build a mechanical assembly that had a nominal operation/load and failed at a load of approximately 2.5 the operational load

• Designed, modeled, and built a working pirate ship attraction

• I designed the ship body subassembly – including splitting the model, laser cutting all the pieces, and assembling them with appropriate hardware

• Our design was built to fail under the dynamic and static torque of the ship body when it was elevated to 90 degrees – we were able to achieve this perfectly
