  • Turning Brake Cylinder Housing

    Creator:
    Radcliffe, Noah
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project is to assist the OSU Baja Racing vehicle in turning more sharply. This is done using a turning brake, which locks one rear wheel to facilitate turning on a smaller radius. This project focuses on the development of a custom cylinder housing for the turning...

  • A methodology for iterative design using physical test data

    Creator:
    Morris, Wesley T.
    Abstract:
    This thesis addresses a common knowledge gap that was identified amongst the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) competition design teams at Oregon State University. Students that join the SAE teams at Oregon State University typically do not have experience using physically collected data during a design process. This leads to...

  • Design of robust infrastructure systems incorporating user behavior

    Creator:
    Piacenza, Joseph R., III
    Abstract:
    Infrastructure systems are a critical component supporting today's modern society. From power grids to traffic networks, we rely on these systems to perform as intended, despite the various sources of uncertainty present in their operation. Designing for system robustness can help mitigate the impact of failures caused by unexpected events....

  • Sustainable building design framework : an integrated approach

    Creator:
    Piacenza, Joseph R.
    Abstract:
    This paper combines two research publications working toward the development of an integrated framework for commercial sustainable building design. Current methodologies utilize a traditional architectural top-down approach to sustainable building design practices that consumes financial and temporal resources early in the design process. By identifying the array mechanical subsystems required...

    Coleman Boyd
    Abstract:
    0.1 Purpose of Report During my time on this project, I have written two reports. My SAE22 ePowertrain report details last year's design, the design process, design changes, and manufacturing in extreme detail. The capstone course report will be useful for future students looking to educate themselves on everything that...

  • Student Club Analysis: The Effects of Organizational Structuring on Competition Performance

    Creator:
    Chandler, Jacob J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis aims to explore the effects of organizational and management principles within the context of a student club – an international Formula Student team. Research on the effects of organizational structuring on student club performance tends to be qualitative in nature. While considering the inherent complexity of the human...

  • The Design and Development of Custom Rear Brake Calipers for the Oregon State University Formula SAE

    Creator:
    Van Horn, Allison
    Abstract:
    Rear brake calipers are a critical component of the brake system within a vehicle. Brake calipers function by clamping against the brake rotor when the brake pedal is pressed by the driver and thus results in deceleration of the vehicle. This thesis aims to design and develop custom rear brake...

  • J.H. Woodger and the emergence of supra-empirical orders of discussion in early twentieth century biology

    Creator:
    Allen, Marshall William
    Abstract:
    This investigation attempts to demonstrate that the development of the early 20th century biological enterprise involved a striving for a unifying theoretical perspective. A skeletal substantiation of this is given by an overview of early 20th century biology in which some biologists began recognizing a multiplicity of different orders of...
