Study the dynamics of a Mangonel! Understand the parameters that effect the dynamics of the missile Be able to predict the trajectory and distance of a missile thrown Have an understanding of energy exchange between the Mangonal and the missile Use this knowledge to be able to optimise the design Modules within project Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin

Study the stress and strain of elements of the model We want to be able to fire the missile as far as possible, however, excessive forces will cause the Mangonel to break. From the structural analysis, can we optimise the design for strength and power? Modules within project Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Operate Design Implement Conceive Design Project – Mangonel • Structural Analysis • Can design • Diameter of arm • Diameter of spindle Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Electronic instrumentation Design instrumentation which will allow the angular velocity and acceleration of the arm to be measured. Consists of Sensors fitted to Mangonel Logic design to control sensor outputs Software design of micro-processor Assembly and operation of instrumentation to measure parameters on electronic display. Modules within project Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Operate Design Implement Conceive Design Project – Mangonel • Measure Arm Velocity • Instrumentation • Software • Hardware • Result is a useful measurement tool! Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Build and Test the Mangonel The output from the other modules will allow us to optimally design the Mangonel Some components pre-assembled, you have to finish the model implementing your design choices Operate the Mangonel Competition at end!
