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...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Wesley T. Morris
Wave Energy From Idea, to Concept, to Converter: Structuring Methods for Design and Evaluation of Wave Energy Devices

Creator:

Trueworthy, Ali May

Abstract:

The amount of energy we use and the ways that we get that energy sit on the edge of dramatic change as the carbon budget which can keep the planet under 1.5C of global average temperature increase gets smaller (Allen, 2018). In response, we continue to research and develop renewable...

Characterization and mitigation of train vibrations in a laboratory facility

Creator:

Atanasov, Atanas A.

Abstract:

Excessive environmental vibrations can have deleterious effects in a variety of animals. Despite the potentially detrimental effects vibrations may have on animal health and experimental results, they remain poorly understood in the animal laboratory setting. This study investigates the consequences of excessive train vibrations on the breeding success of laboratory...

On the modeling and control of horizontal pendulum wave energy converters

Creator:

Boren, Blake C.

Abstract:

Presented is an investigation into the modeling, active control design, and simulation of a generic horizontal pendulum wave energy converter, known as a PWEC. A description is provided of the dominant attributes PWECs have, showcasing their promising potential as wave energy converters. Seeking to further promote this potential, an active...

The Influence of Fuel Characteristics on Smoldering Behavior through Porous Fuels

Creator:

Ross, Andrew H.

Abstract:

Smoldering can play a dangerous role in the ignition and spread of wildfires. Naturally occurring fuels consist of multiple layers of organic materials with varying particle sizes due to differences in decomposition stages with fuel depth, yet the influence of particle size on burning behavior is poorly understood. Previous research...

Manufacturing Process Design and Electrically-Assisted Embossing of a Microchannel Solar Receiver

Creator:

McNeff, Patrick S.

Abstract:

Manufacturing process design (MPD) represents a design-oriented approach to manufacturing engineering. In this dissertation, Haynes 230 (H230), a solid solution-strengthened Ni-based superalloy, was chosen to meet the material requirements of a microchannel solar receiver (MSR) needed to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of solar thermal power generation. An...

About good work

Creator:

Lee, Wei-Tau

Abstract:

This research is an effort to explore the nature of good work, a concept that describes work that is beneficial to the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of its stakeholders, including and especially the worker. This effort is divided into four distinct parts. First, the construct of good work is...

Towards a guided framework for innovative engineering through the generation and evaluation stages of concept design

Creator:

Oman, Sarah Kay

Abstract:

This work proposes a framework of concept generation and evaluation that takes into consideration the benefit of creativity and innovation in current market trends. By educating engineers in how to increase creativity in concept design and assess it quantitatively, the next generation of designers will be a step ahead of...

Applications of Bayesian Optimization and Classification Surrogate Modeling to User-Guided Design

Creator:

Jetton, Cole M.

Abstract:

In engineering problems not all constraints can be explicitly written as mathematical functions. There needs to be a way integrate designer knowledge into the design process and preferably use that to guide an optimization problem. In this thesis, these constraints are modelled using classification surrogate models and integrated with Bayesian...

Vertical Axis Pendulum Wave Energy Converters : Investigating Control Strategies and the Deployment of a Scaled Generic Prototype

Creator:

Boren, Blake C.

Abstract:

Vertical Axis Pendulum Wave Energy Converters (VAPWECs) are thought to be both effective and robust at converting ocean wave energy into usable electricity. Seeking to build upon and investigate such potential, this work examines the merits of actively controlling a generic VAPWEC's pendulum for the purpose of increasing the converter's...
