Industrial Engineering with Linear and Quadratic models

Linear and quadratic equationsPaper helicopter demonstrationData collection (wing length/time)Predictions from dataTest predictionsRevision with new modelWorksheets

Linear Equations

• Y=mx+b form

• Can be used to predict linear data

Quadratic Equations

• y = ax2 + bx +c form

• Used as one way to graph data in a non linear form

This line shows that the predicted flight time for a 5 inch wing should be 3 seconds------- after testing it proved almost true ( 2.9 seconds)

For a six inch wingspan a prediction of 3.2 seconds was made

This did not work

A new model was needed

This is clearly not a linear function. A quadratic model might be used to predict the optimal wing length. Before going to an optimal measurement a ROBUST design based on a linear model might be used

Robust Design

Sometimes the optimal is not the best. If a design falls within the acceptable operating parameters and is more efficient to produce, then it might be more economically feasible to use this design.

Siege weapons and their usesIn Medieval warfare it was sometimes necessary to lay siege to an enemy fortification. e.g. a castle.

?

Several Devices were developed to help deal with these situations.

The other was the trebuchet.

One of these was the ballista.

The Ballista could fire directly at a target (Linear Model)

By knowing the height of the target and the distance tables could be developed slope and

angles could be compared.
