Engineering Analysis
In order to minimize error during the fabrication of the staking rover, several engineering analyses were performed. The analyses were broken down into two main systems: rover drive system and stake driving system. The analysis for the stake driving system was further divided into the following subsections: original stake driving system, new stake driving system and field testing.
Rover Drive System Analysis
The purpose of the rover driving system analysis was to ensure that the motors of the drive system will move the rover at the customer required speed of 3ft/s – 6ft/s by calculating the minimum power needed for each motor used the drive the rove. To obtain the minimum power, the first unknown that needed to the calculated was the linear force required the move the rover. With the following equation, Eq. 1, the estimation weight, W, of 135lbs1, a coefficient of friction, μ, of 12, the required linear force to move the rover was found to be 135lbs.
F = W*μ (Eq. 1)3
The minimum required linear was converted into the minimum torque, T, required for the system by using the wheel diameter, D, of 6in, a safety factor, NSF, of 1.25 and Eq. 2. Since two motor are planned to be

To calculate the number of impacts, the following assumptions were made: the stake hub had a constant cross-sectional area, the ground had a constant soil penetration resistance, air resistance was negligible, and all energy from the impact of the hammer transfer into the stake hub. The law of conservation of energy was used by setting the kinetic energy, KE, of the hammer, Eq. 7, equal to the work, W, to move the stake hub, Eq. 8, where m is the mass of the hammer (12lbs / 5.44kg), v is the velocity of the hammer before impact, F is the force required to penetrate the soil (227.7lbs) that was found with Eq. 6, and d is the depth of
aspiration of reaching the stars! Inside the rover named MM33 four artificially intelligent robots will serve as the crew members, this will eliminate issues with providing oxygen, and food to the crew members. It will also allot for the establishment of a ground base for humans to come later and decrease many unforeseen risks.
This report identifies Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Ltd. (JLR) and its strategy as a global. After recording losses for many consecutive years, it has seen a huge improvement in general performance since acquisition by Tata Group of India, recently taking a profit in excess of £1.5bn in FY’12 (1). This report will analyse Brazil’s luxury market segment and also South America’s market. It will also analyse Brazil’s automotive industry and the autoparts industry and how and why JLR may succeed in
American manufacturing is moving into new era of proficiency through software based production systems that are qualitatively different than in the past impacting all aspect of manufacturing such as the way companies address customer needs and wants, research and development, the product development and production process, and the platforms and footprints

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) is a vehicle similar to an estate car that is loaded with four –wheel drive for on-road or off-road ability. SUV s are evolved from military vehicle such as World War II jeep and Land Rover. A Recent study by a Global research firm shows some interesting information about Indian SUV Market .It predicts that by the year 2020, the SUV Sales growth will overtake sales growth of passenger vehicle in Indian market. The main reason behind this change

Introduction–First Iteration Summary Introduction In the late twentieth century, the field of biotechnology and genetic engineering has positioned itself to become one of the great technological revolutions of human history. Yet, things changed when Herber Boyer, a biochemist at the University of California, founded the company Genentech in 1976 to exploit the commercial potential of his research. Since then the field has exploded into a global amalgam of private research firms developing frivolous
