150 Assault Climbing Device 151 EVSE Business Team 152 Waupaca FNC Case Depth Jeff Kangas (left) and Collin Veele (right) troubleshoot their compressed air-launching device. Team Members Nick Charters, Alex Cotton, Jeff Kangas, Adam Reich, and Collin Veele, Mechanical Engineering Advisor Dr. Adam Loukos Sponser Air Force Office of Scientific Research Project Overview In rescue and assault operations, soldiers are required to access locations that require the climbing of vertical obstacles in high-risk, nonpermissive environments. Using current methods, the physical demands of such climbs are very high. Also, grapples are not effective in many instances due to the lack of a grappling hold, and the long distances needed to throw the grapple/rope are beyond the capability of the troops. The Air Force Office of Scientific Research is sponsoring a national design contest among fifteen universities to create a functional prototype that provides a solution to the problem of assault and rescueclimbing missions. The EVSE team meeting after class. Team Members Jiayi Long, Kathryn Poulisse, Ye Zhou, and Paul Petroskey, Business Administration Advisors Dr. George Dewey and Dr. Roger Woods Sponsor General Motors Project Overview We have developed a comprehensive business plan that is catered to rural municipalities looking to implement electric-vehicle charging stations. After filling their molds, students pour a spectroscopy button for future testing of the alloy chemistry. Team Members Ashwin Vekaria and Sara Heck, Materials Science and Engineering Advisor Dr. Paul Sanders Sponsor ThyssenKrupp Waupaca Project Overview To improve the corrosion resistance of gray cast-iron rotors, it is desirable to improve the ferritic nitrocarburizing case depth by varying the composition and processing of the gray iron. Specifically, this project will evaluate the impact of silicon content, anadium content, and FNC process temperature on the case depth of ferritic nitrocarburizing on a surrogate 20-mm thick gray cast-iron plate. Currently the average nitrocarburized layer thickness is 0.004 inches and the sponsor ideally expects a mean layer thickness of 0.008 inches. 22 • Undergraduate Expo 2012
