By replacing aluminum secondary structures with bulk molded compound (BMC) designs, the team will decrease non-value-added weight and needless emissions. The team developed BMC machining methods including drilling and tapping. Pull-through and bearing fastener allowables were tested and analyzed. The team designed their own test fixtures, conforming to industry standards. Finally, the team redesigned structures, performed analysis and created a proof of concept.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virgin Orbit Engineering, 2018-19 Liaison(s): Danielle Fallon, Chad Foerster &#8217;05 Advisor(s): Gordon Krauss Students(s): Kaitlyn Eng (TL-F), Mariah Ewing (S), [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[184],"class_list":["post-12123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-engineering","tag-virgin-orbit"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12123\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
