subject: Collapsible ladder, FEA simulation, standard size backpack

description: We will design a collapsible ladder that is able to hold up to 250 lbs. The collapsible ladder will be small enough to be stored in a traditional backpack while still maintaining the function, strength, and integrity of a traditional ladder. The ladder will be manually mounted in under 20 seconds. This design is targeted towards people responding to emergency situations. The ladder can be stored in small spaces which makes it convenient. We aim to be able to build the ladder to be at least six feet tall, so it can reach tough areas. This project will require material strength calculations, FEA stress calculations on the assembly, and loading calculations to ensure that the material chosen will hold the desired load. Since, safety is our top design priority, assuring that the build of the ladder is safe is important. The collapsible ladder will be designed to beuniversal, so it can be stored in any standard size backpack.
