  • Implementing a Multi-Agent Approach to a Graph-Based Topology Optimization

    Creator:
    Bai, Gaofeng
    Abstract:
    In order to solve some classic problems in traditional topology optimization, such as unknown material distribution, checker-boarding and curse of dimensionality, this thesis introduces a new method to construct a mechanical structure that can reduce mass and increase stiffness. It uses a graph to represent the skeleton of a structure....

  • Automated Synthesis of Metal-Organic Frameworks using Graph Grammars and Monte Carlo Tree Search

    Creator:
    Zhang, Hongyang
    Abstract:
    In this work, a fully automated approach to synthesis Metal-Organic Frameworks is presented. We use graph to represent the structure of Metal-organic Frameworks and use graph grammars which are backbone rules and functional group rules to generate metal-organic framework. For a given parameter value of the user defined metal-organic framework,...

  • Development of a Boiling Surface Effectiveness Parameter by Modeling and Quantifying the Net Coolant Flow Rate

    Creator:
    Harrison, Matt
    Abstract:
    Boiling dynamics and related heat transfer mechanisms have been widely studied for several decades. During that time, incredible progress has been made on quantifying bubble departure phenomena including growth rate, departure frequency, associated natural and forced convection, and radiation additions to the overall heat transfer rate. With this, the thermal...

  • Designing and creating the Oregon State age and disability simulation suit

    Creator:
    Rahrer, Adam P.
    Abstract:
    Over 54 million people report having disabilities in the United States. In addition, there are 40.3 million people 65 years and older living in America. As the population continues to live longer and problems with obesity continue to increase, the number of people with limited capabilities will escalate as well....

  • ATRIAS 1.0 & 2.1 : enabling agile biped locomotion with a template-driven approach to robot design

    Creator:
    Grimes, Jesse A.
    Abstract:
    Practical bipedal robots need to be simultaneously efficient, robust, and versatile machines, but designing robots dynamically capable of these demands has been a significant bottleneck. We designed ATRIAS to be a highly dynamic biped capable of both walking and running untethered in real environments. To meet these goals, ATRIAS is...

  • Bi-level flexible-robust optimization for energy allocation problems

    Creator:
    Biswas, Arpan
    Abstract:
    A common problem in energy allocation problems is managing the trade-off between selling surplus energy to maximize short term revenue, versus holding surplus energy to hedge against future shortfalls. For energy allocation problems, this surplus represents resource flexibility and is quantified as the surplus energy after meeting the demand. The...

  • Utilizing emergent web-based software tools as an effective method for increasing collaboration and knowledge sharing in collocated student design teams

    Creator:
    Koch, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    Over the last few decades, the methods and tools through which humans collaborate, share knowledge and generally communicate have been advancing at a rapid pace. Thanks mostly to advances in broadband internet, cheap data storage and fast microprocessors, humans now have the ability to work together in ways that even...

  • Graphene Biotransistors, an Exploration of Neurosensing and Biofilm-sensing Applications

    Creator:
    Brown, Morgan A.
    Abstract:
    Atomically-thin graphene sheets have unprecedented characteristics for biosensing applications. These characteristics include mechanical flexibility and strength, optical transparency, electrical sensitivity and biocompatibility. The primary theme of this dissertation is the characterization and application of graphene field-effect transistors (FETs) in biologically-relevant physiological environments.Understanding the interface that forms between an electrolyte and...

  • Smooth Trajectory Generation for Machine Tools and Industrial Robots

    Creator:
    Tajima, Shingo
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents accurate and time-optimal smooth reference trajectory generation techniques for manufacturing equipment such as high-speed machine tools (MT) and industrial robots (IR). Typical machining tool-paths for MTs and IRs are defined as a series of discrete linear moves. Although Point-to-Point (P2P) feed motion can be generated by interpolating...

  • Swept time-space domain decomposition on GPUs and heterogeneous computing systems

    Creator:
    Magee, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    Modern scientific and engineering problems often require simulations with a level of resolution difficult to achieve in reasonable amounts of time—even in effectively parallelized programs. Therefore, applications that exploit high performance computing (HPC) systems have become invaluable in academia and industry over the past two decades. Addressing the questions that...
