It is hypothesized that specular baffle designs may reduce stray light more efficiently than diffuse baffles; however, the computer models on which these claims are based have never been validated by experimental data. This project will attempt to prove that computer models of specular baffles are valid. 1 Specular Black Baffle Design Final Report 5/7/14 Team Member Roles Patrick Thrasher, OSE: Team Lead As team lead, Patrick Thrasher organized the roles of the team and oversaw each part of the project. In addition, he performed all of the design and analysis that was done in the FRED computer software. Anthony Babicke, ME: All mechanical manufacturing, paint and assembly was completed by Anthony Babicke. This included the design of the fabrication method, as well as selecting the proper tools, materials, and hardware. Ashley Lancaster, OSE: Ashley Lancaster primarily focused on information synthesis and presentation. This included the specific tasks of risk analysis and ensuring that system requirements are met. Michael Portugal, OSE: All work pertaining to the design and optimization of each baffle was performed by Michael Portugal. This work was performed by hand, in SolidWorks, and in MATLAB. He also was the team scribe, documenting the all of our team meetings and design process. Alexandra Schluntz, OSE: Alexandra Schluntz designed the test setup used to gather data from both baffles systems. In addition, as Purchase Lead, she gathered all materials and handled the finances and budget. 2 Specular Black Baffle Design Final Report 5/7/14 Contents Introduction
