MECHANICAL ANALYSIS & DESIGN
Pop-Up Book Automation -- THTR 550 "Mechanical Design" Final Project
Final assignment for a class focusing on mechanical analysis, design, and automation. The task was to design a small "Pop-Up Book" set for a puppet show.
​
The four kinds of movement involved in this project were as follows:
- Book open/close (vertical rotational motion)
- Boat track left and right (linear motion)
- Boat "rocking" (horizontal rotational motion)
- Boat turning (vertical rotational motion)
​
With a budget of $500 dollars the mechanism was designed and spec'd. The analysis, design, and budget can be found in the document bellow.
