  • Comparing and Contrasting the Merits of Additive Manufactured Electric Vehicle Suspension Components: GFR Case Study

    Creator:
    Peraza-Garcia, Jesus
    Abstract:
    This thesis compares the implementation of additive manufactured suspension uprights against subtractive manufactured suspension uprights from concept generation, design, and validation through simulation. Additive manufactured suspension uprights were designed for Global Formula Racing’s 2023 electric vehicle. Utilizing Siemens NX, Nastran, Fusion 360, and Ansys Workbench both subtractive and additive manufactured...

  • Operation of a High-Temperature Oxidation Reactor for Thermochemical Energy Storage

    Creator:
    Ramsey, Owen C.
    Abstract:
    The cost of long-duration energy storage poses one of the most significant limitations on the penetration of renewables into power grids. Thermochemical energy storage has great potential to reduce this cost through the use of a reversible redox reaction pair that has a high enthalpy of reaction. The chemical nature...

  • Evaluation of system-level performance of closed thermochemical energy storage systems for space heating

    Creator:
    Rivera, Kate E.
    Abstract:
    This study evaluates the system efficiency and energy-offsetting capabilities of a closed-cycle thermochemical energy storage (TCES) system. Current TCES research primarily focuses on material selection and reactor design but overlooks the practical limitations faced on a system level. Thus, this study investigates various TCES integration methods for providing building space...

  • Functional analysis to inform early design decisions for novel systems with substantial operations and maintenance costs

    Creator:
    Algarra, Nathan
    Abstract:
    Long field-life systems are those for which operational, as opposed to capital, expenditures dominate the life time cost of the system. In established product categories, operational experience and historical maintenance data allows engineers to make informed decisions influencing maintenance during the early design stages when design changes are at their...

  • Generalized Chip Formation and Thermal Dynamics of Modulated Turning

    Creator:
    Ozdemir, Mert
    Abstract:
    Modulation assistance is widely employed to improve chip management in turning. This process is also known as modulated turning. Modulated turning transforms continuous cutting into intermittent cutting by periodically disengaging the tool tip from the workpiece, resulting in the generation of short, easily managed chips. This novel method improves the...

  • Integrating Systemic and Applied Anthropology Approaches to Identify Barriers and Enablers to Accessing Healthcare in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Creator:
    Copple, Ethan L.
    Abstract:
    Healthcare access exhibits differing levels of complexity, often requiring multi-disciplinary approaches to study its barriers and enablers. Though Argentina has achieved nominal universal healthcare coverage through its public healthcare system, full effective coverage has not been achieved. The public system also has a parallel private care system, adding further complexity...
