#LV3 Notes for 2016-02-23 ##AIAA/Github stuff

  • LV3 team members, please go to the sw-cad-airframe-LV3.0 repository and add your name to the list in the README.md so we know for sure who is able to access that repo.
  • I'm working on the extended abstract for the AIAA paper. I'm doing it as a LaTeX document.
    • Can someone find the exact numbers for the weight reduction and strength increase that the 2014 team got? I can't seem to find them in the Final Book or Final Report. If you have any other ideas for "preliminary results" type info, that would be helpful.
    • If you want to add to it, open the .tex file and just add what you want and push your changes to Github. This would actually be a pretty good test to make sure you know how to use Git.
      • You don't actually need to worry about doing LaTeX stuff. Just type what you want into the appropriate sections and leave a blank line between paragraphs. I'll end up rendering the document to PDF the text time I work on it anyways. If you want me to put something in that you don't know how to make just add a line like like % hey, put an image of the rocket here. *If you want to actually render the document, you'll need to install MikTeX (for windows users) or the TeXLive package (for Linux/Mac users). For an editor, I suggest (in order of bestness) TeXMaker, TeXnicCenter, or a text editor like notepad or Gedit.
      • If you want to learn LaTeX stuff, I can help you with it. This wikibook and this tutorial document (TeX) (PDF) are 99.9% of everthing you would ever need to know. Google is the rest.

##Materials news

  • PCC donation (see the dedicated update for more detailed info)
    • Got 70 yd by 6 foot roll of carbon fiber.
    • Got ~200 yd by 3 foot of fiber glass.
    • Got 17 yd by 3 foot of AF 30 adhesive (wrong kind!!!)
    • stored the majority of everything in the VMS freezer
    • stored the remainder in the biology cold room
    • STILL NEED A FREEZER!
  • Started a module layup
    • used some spray adhesive to hold everything down during the layup, hoping the AF 30 will get tackier when it's hot

visible ribbing on the first layup

##PSAS meeting There's not much to mention here for airframe stuff...

*LV4 has a particular freezer they're trying to get. *The AIAA abstract is due Thursday (Feb. 25) at 5pm Pacific. *All LV3 members should be able to access the sw-cad-airframe-LV3.0 repository at this point.
