Experiment Design and Project Plan

Copyright By PowCoder代写 加微信 powcoder

Due: December 5th, 2022

This project is an experiment planning exercise; students are to design, plan and present a
measurement project in a document that can be reviewed and understood by the client and that
can be successfully conducted by a technician (or team) hired by the client.

This is an individual project. Students may not share files, or explanations. Students may use the
information and diagrams in this assignment file, with attribution.

After biking across Hawkins for the 100th time to save the day, the kids decide they want to

quantify their cycling power output to improve their response time. Being this is the early 80’s,

there are no commercially available power meters on the market. They are going to have to use

the computers and resources available at the local Radio Shack. Suzie and Dustin’s idea, as shown

in Figure 1, is to use a force transducer to measure the torque being applied to the chain ring of

their bikes, condition the resulting signal, and acquire it using a data acquisition system which

will store the force transducer voltage data to 5.5” floppy disk (1.2 MB of storage). Later analysis

will determine the torque, crank speed, and power from the force voltage data.

You are working a summer job at the Radio Shack between semesters at the Georgia Institute of

Technology and have decided to help them with the instrumentation design. Based upon the

bikes they will be using you have come up with a preliminary design of the system, shown in

Figure 2, which will measure the total torque which results from the left, 𝐹𝐿, and right, 𝐹𝑅, pedal

forces on the cranks of lengths 𝑟𝑝. The applied torque can then be determined from a force

ME 3057 Fall 2022

transducer measure the force, 𝐹𝑇, being applied to the chain ring where it connects to the hub

at a distance, 𝑟𝑡. The crank speed, 𝜔, will be determined by post-processing the data as it is

anticipated that the torque data for one revolution will show two maximums like the sample data

shown in Figure 3. It is expected that the data will be collected at a known constant sampling

rate, so only the force transducer data will need to be stored to perform the analysis. The bike

specifications can be found in Table 1.

Figure 3: Anticipated form of torque versus time for one revolution

The kids have come up with a few requirements for the power meter which must be met by your

design and analysis (summarized in Table 2). The power meter must be able to measure a

maximum torque of 300 N∙m, a maximum crank speed of 150 RPM, and maximum power of 1000

Watts (note that these conditions may not occur at the same time). They want the uncertainty

at the maximum power requirement to be less than 5% the total value with 95.4% confidence.

The data acquisition should be sufficient so that it meets these requirements and can save at

least 1 hour of cycling data. After the ride, they would like the data to be analyzed to determine

the crank speed, torque, and power in 10 second segments and which can then be plot to show

their performance over the hour ride. They would also like you to outline a simple calibration

routine for the system that can be done without removing the system from the bike.

Looking at the Radio Shack inventory, you have found a few force transducers, data acquisition

systems, and signal conditioning circuits that might be suitable for your design, listed in Table 3.

However, you need to perform a design study to determine which combinations will meet the

kids requirements. For this study you are going to calculate the uncertainty of the power is mainly

due to your sensor, signal condition, and data acquisition system choices for the force transducer

(you can assume that uncertainty from the crank speed analysis is negligible). They would like

you to report the results of your study in a short paper and provide a table of your selections and

the anticipated limits of the system, an example of which is shown in Table 4.

Deliverables

ME 3057 Fall 2022

Your job is to create a report proposing a design of the power meter and acquisition system, as

well as the required analysis, that meets the requirements listed above. It will justify your design

decisions with preliminary calculations showing that the requirements are met and provides a

simple calibration routine so that the system can be checked on the bike. The report must:

• Give a summary of the problem in your own words and the deliverables the design will

• Determine the appropriate sensors, signal conditioning circuits, and data acquisition

systems to meet the design requirement.

• Propose an analysis method to determine the torque, crank speed, and power for 10

second intervals of the collected data.

• Give a range of expected maximum values for torque, power, crank speeds, the system

and analysis will be able to provide.

• Develop a test plan to calibrate the system while it is on the bike.

• Complete the required table of equipment choices and capabilities for the force sensor

signal path (Table 4) and provide relevant figures and equations used in your calculations

in the appendix.

Report Requirements

Your report text should be roughly 1 page in length, with a 2-page maximum. Equations, displays

and tables should be placed on separate pages. An ME 3057 cover sheet should be used. You may

wish to organize your reports in 4 parts, like this:

1) Introduction / Needs – Briefly explain the client’s problem, your approach for getting the

answer and any expectations you may have.

2) Methods / Instrumentation Plan – Briefly present a listing what instruments you will use

and any actions you must take to collect and convert data into forms you can use.

3) Analysis / Expectations – Briefly explain how you will process your data to provide the

information to meet the client’s requirements and to implement your system.

4) Conclusion / Explanation – Briefly summarize what outcomes the client can reasonably

expect and how your system meets their goals and requirements.
