Undergraduate 2011 144 Vibration and Acoustic Analysis of High Voltage Transformers 145 Northport Bay Boat Yard Process Improvement 146 Houghton County Justice Facilities Study and Design Measuring custom pistons under the continual drone of the 480V transformers Facility layout is critical for Northport Bay Boat Yard, the largest storage facility in the Grand Traverse area. Sheriff Brian McLean describes the deficiencies of the sheriff’s office to the design team. Team Member Patrick Crego, Industrial Technology Advisor Dr. John Irwin Sponser Steve Bethel, Leadfoot Engineering Project Overview Located in Chassell, Michigan, Leadfoot Engineering has made it clear that the need of proper engineering analysis within their machine shop for noise reduction on their high-voltage transformers is required. The project focal point revolves around the research of mechanical vibrations and the acoustic signature of highvoltage transformers. Analysis of spectral noise emissions, thermal controls and structure/ equipment vibrations have provided in-depth knowledge for establishing educated and very practical solutions for the final implementation of an effective sound-dampening device. The research will be submitted for possible journal publication. Team Member Patrick Crego, Industrial Technology Advisor Dr. Linda Wanless Sponser Kevin Dyer and Don Thyer, Northport Bay Boat Yard Project Overview The industry client is one of the only high-volume boat storage facilities in northern Michigan that maintains a storage capacity of nearly 700 boats, with the ability to handle 70-ton vessels. Recent additions of nearly 200 new boats have made it clear that the need for proper engineering analysis within the storage and removal department is necessary to efficiently handle the larger volume of boats. Storage and removal times are limited between the months of August and November, when process handling and practices of just-in-time delivery allow for zero error to occur. Team Members Mark Devich, Alex Borton, Hans Hapaala, Colin Singleton, Zane Hyrkas, Chad Hemingway, Wingjing Zhou, Qilong Hu, Ben Sheff, Justin Blake, Nick Peupekke, Mark Edlebeck, Tarris Anderson and Brandt Homik, Civil Engineering Advisor Dr. George Dewey Sponsor Houghton County Project Overview This project has studied and designed options for the Houghton County Courthouse, Sheriff’s Office, and Jail. The current facilities have numerous issues, including safety concerns and overcrowding. We hope to provide the county with an analysis of feasible options to accommodate the county’s needs. For academic purposes, we also selected a site and designed a facility that meets the needs of the county. 20 • Undergraduate Expo 2011
