Trampoline And Bungee Fatigue-Test Machine, Andy Brock, Christopher D'Elia, Ryan Murphy Dec 2013

Trampoline And Bungee Fatigue-Test Machine, Andy Brock, Christopher D'Elia, Ryan Murphy

Mechanical Engineering

JumpSport, a Saratoga based recreational and fitness trampoline company, sponsored this senior project team towards the development of a fatigue-testing machine. The goal of this project was to iterate the previous machine JumpSport used for bungee cord, spring, and trampoline fatigue testing. Since minimal study had been conducted on these specific bungee cords, the fixture was designed to confirm the theoretical correlations for rubber and perform the final tests according to a strict protocol. Operating with a specific test protocol in mind will allow the data from multiple tests to be combined and analyzed statistically. With a design concept in …

A Study Of Quality Assurance And Testing In Software Development Life Cycle, Pranathi Nandhyala

Culminating Projects in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

The objective of this document is to specify a Software Quality Life Cycle (SQLC) that will be used in the development of high quality software. The goal is to create streamlined usable process that supports the SQLC so that the activities related to software quality can be integrated into the existing software development processes. In addition, it is important that we create these processes so they will:

  • Not inhibit the flow of work
  • Not inhibit the creativity of the people
  • Not fail immediately because of the time or resources required
  • Not fail in the long run because the process or …
