Ivan Tapia: Ivan is a Senior Mechanical Engineering student at San Jose State University and he is excited to integrate his skills to the Spartan Superway Project. Ivan's skills include teamwork, some project management and he works very well with others. Ivan has great experience with drafting programs that include AutoCAD, Invetor, CREO and some Solid Works. Ivan is interested in the Spartan Superway project because the project has the potential to be something great in the future and it also has the potential to make a positive impact on peoples lives as well as the environment. The exposure of the Spartan Superway Project has attracted people and students from other countries and other universities and this also makes this project very appealing. Ivan also likes that the Spartan Superway is a multidisciplinary project in which one would be able to learn about the electrical and civil engineering aspects of this project. Ivan likes to watch sports on his free time and is a huge fantasy football fan. Ivan likes to showcase his knowledge about sports to his friends. Ivan is also a huge boxing fan and occasionally attends some big fights throughout the year.

Scope of work
Our sub-team is in charge of analyzing
the Superway’s structural integrity and durability. This will be done by modeling the Superway in
Solidworks, and doing a finite element analysis using ANSYS. We will attempt to account for all relevant
variables, such as temperature fluctuation, loading, and fatigue failure. After modeling, we will interpret the
numerical data and relay key information to other teams for reference. We will communicate with other teams and about
potential improvements suggested by the various teams, and analyze the impact
of these changes.
Goals of sub-team
The
first goal will be to model and analyze the Superway for finite element
analysis. Over the semester, we will
take suggestions from teams that can refine the design, and come closer to a
finalized system. Once satisfied with
the improvements, we will build a 5 foot long guideway sample for torsion
testing. The guideway must meet the design
requirements agreed upon by the teams.
