During our fourth week gathering, we came together and collaborated on which of our SolidWorks designs would be the best route to take for our full scale guideway project. We decided on using Claude's design for the most part, using elements from Winter's footings and perhaps some of Kathlyn's support trusses.
We discussed furthering our knowledge of expansion joints and monorails, though this is a step we will take in more detail later in the project process. For a starting point for expansion joints, Isaac found this site: http://www.magebausa.com/en/794/Infrastructure/Division.htm which specializes in quiet and earthquake-proof expansion joints. We don't think this approach will be acceptable for our design, though.
Finally, we will prepare for our presentation, which we anticipate being next week. We've decided to each focus on a different guideline of Presentation #1 and we will collaborate on Tuesday, 9/27.
