  • Exploring experimental test stand design and operation within a system reliability research methodology

    Creator:
    Koopmans, Michael, 1986-
    Abstract:
    In cases where complex systems routinely experience extreme operating conditions, preventative maintenance is often employed to guard against system failure. Yet, with accessible real-time data and the standard practice becoming prohibitively expensive, the test stand can serve as a vital contributor to the development of system health and reliability estimations....

  • Environmentally Sustainable Product Design : Understanding the Environmental Impact of Product Function and Product Labeling

    Creator:
    Ferrero, Vincenzo J.
    Abstract:
    Using repositories to store product design information can provide additional and extensive design knowledge to the global design community. Using repository data in the design of new products can be especially impactful for DfX design objectives, such as product sustainability, about which many engineering designers have limited knowledge. Furthermore, repositories...

  • The Development and Evaluation of the Tennis Shirt Pattern for a Wheelchair Tennis Player in a CAD Program

    Creator:
    Jin, HeeJae
    Abstract:
    This study was to develop and evaluate a shirt pattern for a wheelchair tennis player to improve comfort using reducing garment strain using a CAD program. For that, seven body movements related to garment strain during play were analyzed. In order to develop a pattern, a morphological matrix was used...

  • 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....

  • A multiagent approach to identifying innovation in design components

    Creator:
    Rebhuhn, Carrie M.
    Abstract:
    Innovation is a key element for a product to achieve market success, but identifying it within product or even defining the term is a difficult task. Identifying innovation has been approached in many different ways. Experts in design engineering may identify innovative designs based on an analysis of a product's...

  • 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...

  • Assisting decision making in component design for sustainable manufacturing

    Creator:
    Eastlick, Dane D.
    Abstract:
    Current life cycle assessment tools are often deficient in assisting design for sustainable manufacturing efforts. Integrating an improved assessment method into a decision support framework will provide a means for designers and engineers to better understand the impacts of their decisions. A unit process modeling-based sustainability assessment method is presented...

  • Meander scars : reflections on healing a river

    Creator:
    Metzger, Abby P.
    Abstract:
    As Europeans settled the Willamette Valley in the 1800s, they began to simplify Oregon's largest river contained wholly within state boarders—the Willamette. The river lost miles of channels from dikes, dams, and development. Some channels vanished under concrete. Others became meander scars, or shallow, dry depression in the land where...

  • Learning-based control and coordination of autonomous UAVs

    Creator:
    Bell, Adam R.
    Abstract:
    Uninhabited aerial vehicles, also called UAVs are currently controller by a combination of a human pilot at a remote location, and autopilot systems similar to those found on commercial aircraft. As UAVs transition from remote piloting to fully autonomous operation, control laws must be developed for the tasks to be...

  • Estimating spatial changes in acoustic velocity in felled Douglas-fir stems

    Creator:
    Dowding, Bodie
    Abstract:
    To compete with other building materials, the wood products industry must find a way to increase value and lower costs. Wood stiffness is important for most wood uses. Value can be increased and costs can be lowered by sorting logs for stiffness in the woods using acoustic devices mounted on...
