Electrawatch--Mechanical CHM Enclosure Redesign
In order to reduce the multi-billion dollar cost of corrosion on military vehicles, the sponsor, ElectraWatch, has developed a device called the Coating Health Monitor (CHM), a wireless corrosion coating monitor. The current CHM enclosure is not optimized for long-term usage or resistance to sustained environmental exposure, and does not meet military specifications for vibration and shock resistance. The project focused on redesigning the CHM enclosure to meet these specifications and developing FEA analyses to model the vibration and shock testing requirements with the support of physical test results.
Christa Miller-Shelley completed this project for her ENGS 190/290 engineering design course.
