A computer-based design history tool

Creator:: Chen, Ai-hua
Abstract:: In current practice, design documentation often fails to support the activities of design understanding, communication, and redesign. A Design History Tool has been developed to improve current design documentation. This tool is a computerized design history that represents and plays back important information generated during the process of designing a...

Design for Clean Technology Adoption: Application of Discrete Choice Analysis and the Theory of Planned Behavior for Development Engineering

Creator:: Pakravan, Mohammad H.
Abstract:: Clean technologies can address multiple challenges associated with climate change, environmental protection, and human health. However, the impact desired by introduction of such technologies is achievable only if new options effectively replace inefficient, conventional practices. This ‘design for adoption’ requires understanding of user motivations, associated beliefs, context of use, and...

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...

Analysis, testing, and redesign of an environmental control system for an engine dynamometer

Creator:: Morris, Taylor H.
Abstract:: This project analyzes, tests, and redesigns an environmental control system for Global Formula Racing’s (GFR) dynamometer. It seeks to develop a working system to test GFR’s car engine under air conditions similar to those faced during competition. A model is developed to predict the performance of the environmental control system,...

Early Design Evaluation of See-Through Automotive A-pillar Concepts Using Digital Human Modeling and Mixed Reality Techniques

Creator:: Srinivasan, Sriram
Abstract:: Pillars in modern vehicles provide structural integrity by surrounding the windows and joining the roof with the frame. Although they protect the driver and passengers, A-pillars also create obstruction zones by limiting drivers' forward field of view leading to unforeseeable accidents or mishaps. We argue that providing a better pillar...

Using Digital Human Modeling to Evaluate and Improve Car Pillar Design: A Proof of Concept and Design of Experiments

Creator:: Mellon, Taylor R. P.
Abstract:: Considering human factors in early engineering design stages can improve expensive late stage processes, facilitate user safety, improve product quality and help reduce the need for physical prototyping. Currently, car pillar design (the vertical pillars between windows which connect the roof and car body) provide safety for the passengers in...

Mechanics of Nb-Ti superconducting composites

Creator:: Guo, Zhiqiang
Abstract:: Mechanical behavior of Nb-Ti superconducting composites with copper matrices have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Experimental work includes extensive measurements of Cu/Nb-Ti composite system. Techniques for fine fiber testing and composite wire measurement have been developed. Experimental parameters examined in this research include geometry, hardness, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield...

Pre-Prototyping Framework: An Early Design Prototyping Methodology for Human-Centered Products and Workplaces

Creator:: Ahmed, Salman
Abstract:: Prototyping is a crucial step in product design and development, but it is also known as the highest sunk cost. The top 20 Research and Development (R&D) department spends 142 billion dollars, yet 40 to 46 percent of this money goes into developing products that cannot even make to the...

Design of 3D-Printed Soft Pneunet Actuator for Robotic Fruit Harvesting

Creator:: Wilhelm, Lissette J. H.
Abstract:: This work details the development of 3D printed TPU pneunet actuators for use in apple picking for agricultural soft robotics. These actuators increase the force capabilities of soft pneunets and simplify manufacturing. Grippers based on these actuators are ideal for apple picking because they are compliant, yet exert sufficient force...
