Abstract:: Visitors to waterways need a way to securely lock up their non-motorized watercrafts to allow for exploration of the local area and communities. The Willamette Water Trail Steering committee recognized this problem and approached the Oregon State University Prototype Development lab to develop and fabricate a solution. The engineering design...

Creator:: Verna-Ketel, Dominic
Abstract:: An electrically driven propellant pump (HALE E-Pump) was analysed and tested to determine its viability for use in a bi-propellant launch vehicle for the High-Altitude Liquid Engine (HALE) student rocket team at Oregon State University (OSU). The pump, manufactured in 2022 by students in OSU machine shops, was hydrostatically tested...

Creator:: Cornwell-Arquitt, Luke
Abstract:: Hydrogels have been attractive for use as a medium in porous flow studies, but have always been limited in this role because of their poor mechanical properties. This project analyzes and tests two recently developed hydrogels, poly(methacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (PMM), and a heat-treated long chain PVA hydrogel. Particle image velocimetry (PIV)...

Creator:: Schipper, Paxton
Abstract:: Aperiodic structures cause significant challenges to subtractive manufacturing methods due to the common features such as inaccessible voids within the structure. Additive man- ufacturing presents an appealing alternative for this purpose. The aim of this research is to test analysis heuristics for validity through application to periodic structures. First, a...
