  2. Problem and Customer n villages in Ecuador Need for alternative roofing to thatch for Need for alternative roofing to thatch for villages in Ecuador The image cannot be displayed. Your computer may not have enough memory to open the image, or the image may have been corrupted. Restart your computer, and then open the file again. If the red x still appears, you may have to delete the image and then insert it again. Prof. David Saiia of Ithaca used as roofing material.

  3. Customer Need Product Attribute Engineering Spec plastic strips strips (min/m 2 ) ‏ production) ‏ Cost to Bind per m 2 ($/ meter of thatch meter of thatch m 2 ) ‏ m 2 ) ‏ customer requirement) ‏ rain ~0% in light rain <unknown> from interior (Watts/m 2 ) ‏ Durability to withstand strong winds (~25m/s) strong winds (~25m/s) 2…Other failure modes

  4. Design by iron p Binding method n Pointed tip forms bond at rim of holes p Mock-ups to test automation of hole binding Mock-ups to test automation of hole binding

  5. Is Heating the Best Option? p Need localized heat ~200°C n Using soldering iron: 25 Joules/hole à ~$.01/m 2 n Heat loss due to fins in iron mock-up p Alternatives to heat n Sewing n Other mechanical fasteners (e.g. staples) ‏

  6. Other Unresolved Issues n Need to test shear strength Need to test shear strength p Thatch Specific Issues p n Must not trap heat inside house n Must not be permeable to rain

  7. Conclusion p We need to explore other options for joining p plastic strips. plastic strips.
