| Systematic Design Process | The problem:
z Understand the problem A paper mill processes rolls of paper with density of 984 kg/m3. The
roll is 1.50 m (outside diameter) x 22 cm (inside diameter) x
z Identify the known 3.23 m (long).
z Identify the unknown, formulate solution You are asked to design two styles of storage racks for the paper
strategy (flowchart) rolls in the styles shown in the two figures that follow.
z State all assumptions and decisions 1. Design A is a single-sided rack, with a mandrel that inserts
halfway into the paper roll.
z Analyze the problem 2. Design B is a double-sided rack, with mandrels inserting to
z Evaluate your solution, incorporating positive 10% of the roll length at each end.
changes Your design should provide suitable values for a and b as shown.
Your solution should include stress (bending, shear, and
