You Too Can Be James Bond 263 You Too Can Be James Bond Deng Xiaowei Xu Wei Zhang Zhenyu Southeast University Nanjing, China Advisor: Chen Enshui Abstract We divide the jump into three phases: flying through the air, punching through the stack, and landing on the ground. We construct four models to minimize the number and the cost of boxes. In the Ideal Mechanical model, we consider the boxes’ force on the motorcycle and stunt person as constant. In the Realistic Mechanical model, we focus on how the boxes support the motorcycle and stunt person, which includes three phases: elastic deformation, plastic deformation, and and crush-down deforma- tion. However, in the Ideal Air Box model, the internal air pressure of each box can’t be ignored. As a matter of fact, the boxes are unsealed, so we amend the Ideal Air Box model to develop a Realistic Air Box model. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each model. We define a metric U, which is a function of the cost and the number of boxes. By mathematical programming, we calculate the size and the number of the boxes. In normal conditions, we that assume the safe speed is 5.42 m/s. For a total weight of stunt person and motorcycle of 187 kg, we need 196 boxes of size 0.7 m ×0.7 m × 0.5 m. We analyze the accuracy and sensitivity of the result to such factors as the total weight, the contact area, and the velocity. We also offer some important suggestions on how to pile up the boxes and how to change the shape of the boxes. Assumptions and Analysis About Boxes and the Pile of Boxes • All the boxes are the same size. The ratio of length to width has little effect on the compression strength of a cardboard box; so to simplify the problem, we assume a square cross section. c The UMAP Journal 24 (3) (2003)
