A design framework for identifying automation opportunities

Creator:: Nagel, Robert Lewis, 1982-
Abstract:: Since the Industrial Revolution, automated systems have increasingly become a part of everyday life. Automated systems range in scale and scope from simple assists to complete robotic replacements. Inexpensive integrated circuits, sensors and microprocessors have allowed automated systems to become smaller, cheaper and more prevalent. Identifying appropriate opportunities for automation,...

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...

Adaptive methods for robust commercial vehicle control

Creator:: Junell, Jaime L.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the implementation of learning based control with predictive cruise control and the potential this technology has for increasing fuel efficiency while keeping on a well maintained schedule for commercial trucks. Traditional cruise control is wasteful when maintaining a constant velocity over rolling hills. Predictive cruise control is...

Automated Tradeoff Analysis of Cost Versus Machinability for Design Feedback

Creator:: Grier, Alan Thomas
Abstract:: As CAD tools become more sophisticated, engineers are able to more easily create complex part geometries with minimal mass given strength and stiffness requirements. However, these complex part geometries can be difficult to subtractively manufacture, which consequently increases manufacturing cost and production time. This thesis presents a method independent of...

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...

Design analysis using function-based failure propagation in failed system states

Creator:: Jensen, David Charles
Abstract:: For safety critical complex systems, reliability and risk analysis are important design steps. Implementing these analyzes early in the design stage can reduce costs associated with redesign and provide important information on design viability. In the past several years, various research methods have been presented in the design community to...

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....

Extension of early stage failure analysis tools to Prognostics Health Management design

Creator:: Kramer, Scott
Abstract:: Modern complex mechanical systems have evolved to a point of incredible complexity. Many now operate with significant assistance from automated response functions, and some operate without human operators at all. These increasingly complex systems have also become more expensive and more ambitions in mission, bringing about higher risk to both...

Floating Offshore Wind Array Systems Optimization off the US West Coast using an Extended Pattern Search Algorithm

Creator:: Forinash, Caitlin P.
Abstract:: The large wind resource off the United States West Coast has the potential to generate wind power for millions of homes, yet the high cost of energy for offshore wind power compared to traditional sources has slowed the development of offshore wind farms in the US. The four studies presented...

Identifying customer requirements and designing for modularity in developing specialized, low production volume products

Creator:: van Tamelen, Peter G.
Abstract:: Field biologists are in need of more specialized and technical equipment than they are able to produce on their own in order to collect data more efficiently or gather data that is not currently available. This presents a challenge for design engineers because these products are typically highly specialized and...
