Suppose you are on a team designing a race car, and you have been tasked with designing the mount to hold the steering column in place. Describe examples of information you would find in the following categories to guide your design process, how you will use that information, and how you would go about finding it. You donβt need to list specific information (this is a generic hypothetical) but rather focus on the type and your process. Briefly list the questions you would ask and the information you would gather for each:
Constraints β what are the limits to the design freedom?
Operating conditions β what force loads, temperatures, frequencies, velocities, ranges will this experience in operation?
Targets β what features/criteria will this design be evaluated in terms of to assess whether it is a good design or not?
Standards β what industry standards, best practices, and technical regulations apply?
Manufacturing β how will it be made and assembled and what tools will be involved?
