1. Project Proposal 2 Tangent Tube Slip Spacer

2. GOALS Determine the maximum load which the Tangent Tube Slip Spacer(TTSS) Can Support Suggest improvements to current design

3. Steps In Analysis Hand calculations Use Promechanicha for FEA ( finite element analysis) analysis on the TTSS

4. Hand Calculations Approximated TTSS as an cantilever Beam Equations Used: M-moment c-ceterd I-inertia

5. Weld Analysis Used hand calculation to determine approximate stresses Weld dos not affect structural strength of TTSS Equation used

6. Comparison of TTSS with Interlocking support Weld Comparison- Structure of TTSS was calculated to withstand1557.29 lbs while ITS was determined that the weld was the weakest point.

7. Results Both TTSS and IS have similar stresses in the welds Wakens would be the TTSS structure itself

8. FEA

9. FEA Results

10. Suggested improvements

11. FAE Comparison of Improved Vs Original

12. Further Research Actual testing of the slip spacer to compare the FEA analysis
