 Immediately following the initial presentation, the group gathered to evaluate the proposed project tracks and reach a consensus. Our approach was rooted in an open brainstorming session where we weighed our individual strengths against the potential of each topic. It quickly became clear that the "Smartification of Objects" was the path that generated the most genuine enthusiasm among us. Immediately following the initial presentation, the group gathered to evaluate the proposed project tracks and reach a consensus.

 +Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was carried out in SolidWorks to evaluate the bottle's mechanical behavior under two specific scenarios. First, a lateral static load of 100 N was applied to simulate a firm physical grip. The resulting maximum von Mises stress was only 0.203 MPa, showing that daily handling forces are mechanically negligible.
 +
 +Next, a 1.5-meter drop test was simulated. In this dynamic scenario, the maximum stress peaked at 133.7 MPa, with the impact forces heavily concentrated along the bottom edge of the bottle. To properly protect the internal electronics, two variations for the 0.8–1.0 mm aluminum body were analyzed. When using standard Aluminum the Factor of Safety (FoS) is 1.08. This prevents catastrophic structural failure but leaves a very tight margin against plastic deformation like cosmetic denting. Upgrading the main body to Aluminum (yield strength of approx. 276 MPa) increases the FoS to 2.06, providing a much safer margin.

 +=== Functional Testing Results ===
 +
 +To verify the reliability and functionality of the TRAQUA smart bottle prototype, all major electronic and sensing components were tested individually and as part of the integrated system. The table below summarizes the performed tests, expected behavior, obtained results, and final status of each subsystem.
 +
 +^ Component / System ^ Function Tested ^ Expected Result ^ Actual Result ^ Status ^
 +| TDS Water Quality Sensor | Water quality measurement | Detect changes in TDS values accurately | Stable ppm measurements for different water samples | PASS |
 +| Accelerometer (LIS3DHTR) | Motion and orientation detection | Correctly detect bottle tilt and movement | Accurate orientation measurements with stable readings | PASS |
 +| Battery Pack (4S Li-ion) | Power delivery | Supply stable voltage to system | Stable voltage supplied during operation | PASS |
 +| BMS Protection Module | Voltage regulation and protection | Stable input/output operation | Correct voltage regulation observed | PASS |
 +| Buck Converter (16 V → 5 V) | Voltage step-down conversion | Regulated 5 V output | Stable 5.01 V output achieved | PASS |
 +| Charger System | Battery charging | Proper charging of 4S battery pack | Charging failed due to configuration mismatch | FAIL |
 +| UV-C Sterilization Module | UV-C activation and control | Safe activation/deactivation through ESP32 | Correct switching behavior observed | PASS |
 +| Temperature & Humidity Sensor | Environmental monitoring | Stable temperature and humidity readings | Accurate and stable measurements obtained | PASS |
 +| Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) | Water level estimation | Detect weight and fill level changes | Sensor values increased correctly with weight | PASS |
 +| ESP32 DevKit V1 | System control and communication | Stable operation and Wi-Fi communication | Reliable communication and stable operation | PASS |
 +
 +== Review and Validation Process ==
 +
 +Each subsystem of the TRAQUA prototype was tested under practical operating conditions using serial monitoring, voltage measurements, sensor calibration, and repeated functional verification. The tests were designed to evaluate sensor accuracy, communication stability, electrical reliability, and overall system integration.
 +
 +The obtained results were compared against the expected functionality of each subsystem. Stable measurements, successful communication, and correct component behavior were considered indicators of successful operation. Any abnormal behavior or instability was recorded and evaluated for possible future improvements.
 +
 +== Overall Conclusion ==
 +
 +The functional testing confirmed that the TRAQUA smart bottle prototype operates reliably and that all major subsystems function as intended. The sensors, ESP32 microcontroller, UV-C sterilization system, and power management system all produced stable and consistent results during testing.
 +
 +The only major issue identified during testing was the incompatibility between the charger and the selected 4S battery configuration, which prevented proper charging functionality. Despite this limitation, the prototype successfully met the primary functional requirements and provides a strong foundation for future optimization and development.
