!!!Currently adding project to portfolio!!!

Here are the main KPIs in the mean time…

  • Designed a 35x24cm shelf supporting up to 42 lbs load (books/phone + misuse case) using CAD.

  • Used MATLAB and Free-Body Diagrams to calculate forces and dimensioning.

  • Utilized FEA and stress analysis to reduce mass 39% (1kg→0.6kg) while maintaining FOS=3.

  • Achieved 25% cost reduction through geometry optimization.

Mass and Cost Optimized Bedside Shelf

Overview: My roommate kept dropping his phone off his 6ft high bed, so I challenged myself to make a shelf with a phone holder with the least mass and cost possible.

Role: Individual Project
