Expected Results:

After modeling all the parts in ProE, we expect to be able to assemble the pieces
together and animate them to show how the saw operates. Hopefully, we will animate the
creation process, the normal function of the saw, and the removal/addition of a blade.
After that, we hope to be able to use an ANSYS analysis to see the forces acting on
different portions of the saw, focusing specifically on the blade and casing. Hopefully, we
will be able to find the yield stress of the blade and the maximum hardness of the
materials through which it can cut.

Work Distribution:

Christopher Clark: Outer Casings
Writing Assignments/Presentations
Danielle Launay: Gears/Bearings
Screws
Jonathan Lin: Switches
Speed Control Mechanism
Power Cord
John Sequeira: Saw Blades
Blade Retainer Mechanism
Rishi Wadhera: Plates/Washers
Shafts
We will all be equally responsible for the assembly and animation of the pieces, and for
the force analysis portion of the project. We do, though, reserve the right to change these
responsibilities as necessary, or to suit a particular members strongest abilities.
