Jr. INSTRUCTOR: DR CRIS KOUTSOUGERAS ADVISOR: DR. JUNKUN MA FINAL
PROPOSAL PRESENTATION Southeastern Louisiana University Mechanical
Engineering Technology Fall 2014 and Spring 2015
- Slide 2
- Background When hurricanes make land fall, they destroy many of
the Louisiana trees in its path. Swamps trees stand strong in
hurricanes, reduce storm surge, and eliminate the waves atop the
surge. Southeastern Louisiana University wetland restoration
project run by Dr. Gary Shaffer are replanting the areas with these
types of tree.
- Slide 3
- Baldcypress and water tupelo Baldcypress and water tupelo
swamps are far superior to other wetland habitat types because of
its root network.
- Slide 4
- Problem The old process is not efficient: manually
transplanting; protecting device and securing it to the ground;
disassemble and recycle the protecting device in ~ 5 years; cost of
material is too much.
- Slide 5
- Fall 2014 Objective To design a pot shelter device that will be
able to grow baldcypress and water tupelo seedlings and protect
them for five years `in the wetlands. Including designing a
planting device to place the nails in place.

- Fall Semester 2014 Completed September 16 th October 7 th :
Start learning how to use SolidWorks October 9 th October 31 st :
Designing the Pot Shelter structure with SolidWorks while
researching and analyzing the material for it November 4 th
November 25 th : Designing the planting device structure with
SolidWorks while analyzing the material for it. December 2 nd
December 5 th : Finalizing assembly plans for prototype.

- Pot Shelter Assembly
- Slide 8
- Planting Device The device includes a handle, three rods,
holder, two back plates, and a knob. The device will the planter to
plant the trees without getting their hands dirty. The transformer
will be place in the holder and the planter will push the knob
allowing the rods to push the soil out of the transformer.
- Slide 9
- Spring 2015 Objective The objective is to design a mold casting
for each part of the pot shelter and the planting device. To have
3D models of the pot shelter and planting device Including the base
crate if there is time.
- Slide 10
- Methodology To be successful in completing this design, these
steps must be followed and completed. Design the mold casting for
Pot shelter and planting device Using Soldworks to structure a 3D
mold structure for the Pot shelter and planting device. Uses of
COMSOL to analyze the stress of the planting device Make 3D printed
models of the Pot shelter and the planting device
- Slide 11
- Deliverables 1. A complete set of mold casting for the Pot
shelter and the planting device 2. 3D printed models for the Pot
shelter and planting device 3. 3D printed models of the Pot shelter
and Planting device mold casting. 4. Bill of materials 5. Cost
estimation 6. Total cost estimation
