Design of a Modular Fixture That Simultaneously Holds Different Lengths of Hair and Flatirons of Different Sizes

چکیده
While straightening or curling hair with styling tools, enough heat must be provided to temporarily break the chemical bonds that give the hair its natural texture and shape. However, when excess heat is provided, the chemical bonds are permanently damaged and the hair loses its natural shape. This is a problem for many women, and it is often referred to as heat damage. Although others have conducted research to examine the effects of heat on hair, very little work has been devoted to curly hair types, especially those that are extremely curly, while considering the actual use context of the individuals. The REID Lab at Purdue University created a device for studying the effects of heat from a fl atiron on different hair types, especially those that are curly. Using data from this device, the team at the REID Lab can identify temperature ranges at which hair damage is minimized. However, one of the limitations of the device is that the fi xture cannot hold fl atirons of various sizes. As part of the research project with Professor Tahira Reid and PhD student Jaesik Hahn, I developed a new design for clamps that hold fl atirons of different sizes.

On the Existence of Solutions in Modular Fixturing
A fixture is a device that locates and holds parts during machining or assembly. A modular fixture employs reusable components on a regular lattice. Given a part, machinists combine intuition with trial-and-error to design an appropriate fixture. When a machinist is unable to find a design, it may be the case that (1) a feasible design was overlooked or (2) no feasible design exists. Complete a...
