Condensing observation of locale and agents : a state representation

Creator:

Valenti, Brett A

Abstract:

Computing agents require state information to make coherent and useful decisions. A state representation is a numerical translation of the environment and conditions that are pertinent factors in an agent's decision making. Although many representations, when paired with clever learning algorithms, are able to coordinate and capture prey in specific...

Impact of asset usage preferences on parallel replacement decisions

Creator:

Wagner, Tristan John

Abstract:

Data from a state department of transportation fleet shows that the usage of a typical asset decreases as it ages. One possible explanation for decreasing asset usage with age is operator preference for using the newest available asset. In this research the long-term cost and replacement implications of such a...

Predicting deep water breaking wave severity

Creator:

Hovland, Justin

Abstract:

Ocean Wave Energy Converters (WECs) operating on the water surface are subject to storms and other extreme events. In particular, high and steep waves, especially breaking waves, are likely the most dangerous to WECs. A method for quantifying the breaking severity of waves is presented and applied to wave data...

Masters Thesis
A computer-assisted qualitative data analysis framework for the engineering management domain

Creator:

Saeedi, Amirali

Abstract:

Qualitative data analysis (QDA) is a time consuming and, potentially unreliable research activity. In qualitative research, a number of tasks must be repeated for every new research case, even if each case is closely related or is in the same area of study. Existing QDA applications provide users with a...

Mechanical design under changing customer requirements case study : BugID

Creator:

Fagan, Chris R.

Abstract:

Customer requirements and engineering specifications will influence the direction of the design in any product, so it is crucial to make the requirements as stable as possible so quality designs can be produced on time within a budget. It would be optimal for requirements and specifications to remain constant but...

Masters Thesis
The wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Lenee-Bluhm, Pukha

Abstract:

The substantial wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest (i.e. off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and N. California) is assessed and characterized. Archived spectral records from ten wave measurement buoys, operated and maintained by the National Data Buoy Center and the Coastal Data Information Program, form the basis...

Microchannel steam-methane reforming under constant and variable surface temperature distributions

Creator:

Eilers, Benn J.

Abstract:

Steam-methane reforming is a well understood industrial process used for generating hydrogen and synthesis gas. The reaction is generally carried out with residence times on the order of one second. By performing this reaction at microscales it is possible to take advantage of increased heat transfer rates and low diffusion...

The impact of shared ownership on virtual team effectiveness

Creator:

Bonnono, Mark A.

Abstract:

This research studied the role of shared ownership on virtual team effectiveness, using student teams enrolled in engineering management coursework at Oregon State University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. After a thorough review of the literature, the concept of shared ownership was developed. This concept was operationalized as the extent to...

Masters Thesis
Numerical simulation of micro/mini-channel based methane-steam reformer

Creator:

Peterson, Daniel Alan

Abstract:

Numerical modeling of methane-steam reforming is performed in a micro/mini-channel with heat input through catalytic channel walls. The low-Mach number, variable density Navier-Stokes equations together with multicomponent reactions are solved using a parallel numerical framework. Methane-steam reforming is modeled by three reduced-order reactions occurring on the reactor walls. The surface...

Masters Thesis
Development of a radial microlamination architecture for cylindrical microchannel arrays

Creator:

Vlieg, James H.

Abstract:

Microchannel arrays are being developed across a wide spectrum of microfluidic applications including blood processing, fuel cells and thermal management among many others. Typical arrays are based on a flat laminated architecture produced in a vacuum hot press (VHP) through solid-state diffusion bonding. Due to the cylindrical nature of certain...
