I modeled the flowerflapmechanism with the given dimensions
and then designed the missing link.
The project highlights include:
Conducting thorough structural analysis to validate design
integrity.
Shape optimization for optimal performance and weight
reduction.
Mass optimization, keeping the component under 30 grams.
Achieving a factor of safety of 3 for reliable and durable
operation.
CNC programmed for efficient manufacturing.
Working within the constraints of stock size (63.5mm x
225mm x 8mm) and material (Aluminum 6061 T6 Hot
Formed).
