Design of an accessible sleeper compartment for next generation passenger rail : investigation of user needs and application of human factors through digital human modeling

Creator:: Tabattanon, Kamolnat
Abstract:: As the trend of increasing age, weight, size, and disability within the population continues to increase, the demand for accessible transportation is expected to increase as well. Accessible and inclusive transportation is key in providing independent, barrier-free mobility for persons with accessibility needs. This thesis describes work completed in partial...

Benchmarking Linux Containers and Virtual Machines

Creator:: Mittal, Pranjal
Abstract:: In data-centers, running multiple isolated workloads while getting the most performance out of available hardware is key. For many years Virtual Machines (VMs) have been an enabler, but native containers which offer isolation similar to virtual machines while reducing overhead costs associated with emulating hardware resources have become an increasingly...

Reverse engineering, modeling, and redesign of a vibratory conveyor

Creator:: Foglesong, Timothy J.
Abstract:: Some successful products are still developed and produced without the benefit of modern design techniques. One such product is a vibratory conveyor that has been developed largely through prototype iteration. The manufacturer has collaborated with Oregon State University to introduce model-based design into the development process. This research details a...

The effect of reputation systems and on-line chat services on consumers' responses towards unfamiliar retailers

Creator:: Zhang, Ruirui
Abstract:: Creating effective functions in website designs that reduce consumers' anxiety in shopping online is a challenge common to most e-retailers. The present study investigated the roles of online reputation systems and instant chat services in decreasing customer perceived risk and increasing initial trust in unfamiliar e-retailers. Therefore, the reputation system...

Methodologies to improve reliability engineering in early design

Creator:: O'Halloran, Bryan M.
Abstract:: This thesis is the summation of two publications with the motivation to move reliability analysis earlier in the design process. Current analyses aim to improve reliability after components have been selected. Moving specific analyses earlier in the design process reduces the cost to the designer. These early design analyses provide...

Integrated Evaluation of Drinking Water Purification: A Mixed-Method Laboratory and Field Assessment of a Biomass-Powered Water Treatment Technology

Creator:: Burleson, Grace Ellen
Abstract:: The global water crisis is defined as one of the major threats facing humankind over the next decade with over 1 in 10 people lacking access to clean drinking water worldwide. An estimated 1.2 million people pasteurize their drinking water by using boiling as an indicator. Pasteurization is the process...

An examination of factors that perpetuate fast fashion and consumer feelings regarding fast fashion

Creator:: Collett, Miriam
Abstract:: Fast fashion is a term used to describe trendy apparel created with a short cycle time and planned obsolescence. Consumers view such items as disposable due to poor garment quality and low price points. Although consumers are aware of the environmental impact of apparel consumption, the popularity of fast fashion...

The Structural Characteristics of Robustness in Large-Scale Complex Engineered Systems

Creator:: Walsh, Hannah S.
Abstract:: Modern engineered systems are increasingly integrated into society, decentralized, and interconnected. However, scale and complexity create unique challenges in system design, such as emergent behavior and unintended consequences. This work investigates the structural characteristics of robustness in complex engineered systems by identifying patterns of under-recognized vulnerabilities at various levels of...

The Function-Human Error Design Method (FHEDM)

Creator:: Soria Zurita, Nicolás F.
Abstract:: This research presents a methodology to identify and analyze human-system interactions, and their potential failure modes using a functional decomposition approach during the early system design stage. The fundamental research contribution of this work is the development of a framework to identify associations between physical user-product interactions, generic human errors...

Percent Area Visual Obscuration of F1 Racecar Canopies

Creator:: Jennings, Alex
Abstract:: Considering human product interactions early and often in the engineering design process may improve product quality, facilitate user safety, reduce time to market, decrease or eliminate the need for costly physical prototypes, and reduce expensive late stage design changes. Currently, F1 race cars do not include a cockpit canopy to...
