   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.
