Abstract/Summary
The Civic Ballet of San Luis Obispo (SLO) needs a new expanding Christmas tree for their 2024 production of The Nutcracker. This Final Design Review Report outlines pertinent information regarding the Cal Poly Mechanical Engineering Senior Project of Team F14 (“D.R.E.I.D.E.L.S.”), who was tasked of designing and building the new expanding Christmas tree frame. Our team’s name, “D.R.E.I.D.E.L.S.,” stands for Design and Research of Expansion Integrated Dramaturgy Ergonomic Leveraging Systems. We thought this would be a fun, creative, and ironic name for our team.
In this report, our team will discuss how we procured the materials required and manufactured and assembled our design. Furthermore, it will detail the results found from the test procedures and inspections from our Design Verification Plan in Appendix D. These results helped us understand the strength and physics of the structure, the ergonomics and transportability of the design, and necessary constraints such as expansion time and low noise level.
