Assignment #4
Nathaniel Mills
Problem Statement
Design a convenient, cost-effective, and conservative solution for transporting spare tires/wheels to/from the track. Focus on the mounting modules to assure it will be secure under cyclic loading conditions.
- Analyze different mounting techniques with von mises stress analysis process.
- Take into consideration monetary and physical constraints
- The design must not create more work than it saves on the way to, or at, the track.

Von Mises Stress Analysis in Solidworks
Below is the Solidworks part file for the QuikLatch as it's being put through Von Mises loading analysis.
Lessons Learned
- I learned about Von Mises stress analysis, and how cyclic loading affects an object under multiple loads.
- Learned how to run a simulation in solidworks, and how to draw conclusions from said simulations.
- I've learned that placement of a strategy or concept is a modular function
Advisees
James Neale:
I love the slim design of your website, and your modular content looks great! Nothing really to add.
Austin Northcutt:
Wow the attention to detail that you've put in is amazing. I'm also very impressed with your committment to your car as well as the time that you've put in, it really lets your work ethic shine through! Very hard to find any room for error, good job!
