  • Improving Rock Climbing Safety Using a Systems Engineering Approach
    Lyle Halliday u5366214 Improving Rock Climbing Safety using a Systems Engineering Approach ENGN2225- Systems Engineering and Design, Portfolio Abstract This portfolio outlines an application of Systems Engineering methods to the sport of Rock climbing. The report outlines an organized, logical analysis of the system that is involved in making this sport safe and aims to improve the system as a whole through this analysis. Steps taken include system scoping, requirements engineering, system function definition, subsystem integration and system attributes which contribute toward a final concept. Two recommendations are made, one being a bouldering mat which incorporates the transportation of other equipment, the other being complete, standardised bolting protocols. These concepts are then verified against the design criteria and evaluated. 1.0 System scoping: A systematic way of establishing the boundaries of the project and focusing the design problem to an attainable goal. The project focuses on Lead Climbing. 2.0 Requirements engineering: Establishing the true requirements of climbers, and what they search for in a climbing safety system 2.1 Pairwise Analysis: Establishing safety, ease of use and durability as primary design goals 2.2 Design Requirements and Technical Performance Measures: Specifying the design requirements into attainable engineering parameters. 2.3 House of Quality: Identifying the trade-offs between safety and functionality/ cost and the need for a whole-of-systems approach to the problem, rather than a component approach. 3.0 System Function Definition: Establishing concepts and system processes. 3.1 Concept Generation and Classification: Identifying possible and existing solutions on a component level and taking these to a subsystem level.

  • 1.3 Moon Climbing Crash Pads
    MASTER'S THESIS Conceptual Design for a New Crash Pad How to Make a Small Surface Bigger and a Big Surface Smaller Peter Kroon Emma Landin Master of Science in Engineering Technology Industrial Design Engineering Luleå University of Technology Department of Business, Administration, Technology and Social Sciences Preface Numerous are the occasions when a spotter has cursed over the too small pad that constantly needs to be moved along when the bouldering mate progresses along the problem. Equal numerous are the occasions when cursed over the oversized pad that together with everything else should be fitted into the small space called trunk. With a desire and idea of achieving a change, this project was launched. We would like to take the opportunity to thank a number of persons who in different ways have been particularly helpful during the course of this project. Ben Moon at Moon Climbing for assistance over this project. Patrik Svensson, for his untiring commitment and helpful attitude. Camilla Grane, PhD Division of Work Science, LTU, for help with everything concerning the survey. Viktoria at Happy Homes for her happy manners and sponsoring of the prototypes. All the climbers participating both in the survey and the prototype tests. The Work-Shop participants for their willingness to spare some time for this important cause. Bror Tingvall, division of sound and vibrations, LTU, for assistance with the accelerometer tests. and Ernst Hellby, for great assistance with rendering models and his Photoshop skills. Peter Kroon & Emma Landin Luleå, 19th May 2011 Abstract Bouldering is a style of rock climbing without rope, often on natural boulders, hence the word bouldering.
