Team 165 Design and Stack the Cardboard Boxes Introduction We present a model to minimize the total surface area of all the cardboard boxes with four constraints ： ① the motorcycle’s final velocity to crash against should be smaller than the safe velocity; ② he total height of all the floors is out of the range the camera could see; ③ the height of a box should be more than its maximal amount of deformation; ④ the impulsive force should be less than that a normal man could endure. We approach the modeling problem by beginning with Kinematics Equation ：for an obstacle with given height ，the optimal velocity exists. Then we calculate the stunt person and the motorcycle’s loss of energy approximately with deformation–energy by integration and the impulsive force by the Law of Kinetic Energy. Considering the randomness of the amount and direction of the initial velocity, we obtain the landing area. We also do simulation and design the layout of boxes. Finally, we analyze the height of the obstacle and the mass’s effect on the size and layout of boxes. We plus data from various Web and published sources ，then numerical methods to obtain solution from the model. We did some validation of the model for sensitivity, strengths and weaknesses. A major difficulty is obtaining reliable data ，sources differed or even contradicted one another .The rang of the data that we could find was insufficient，jeopardizing the accuracy of our results. Analysis of the Problem Our purpose is to determine what size cardboard box, how many boxes to use and how they are stacked. Meanwhile，we must make sure that the stunt person is safe and the cost of the
