Race Car Monocoque Design? A Loaded Question Suspension Kinematics, Loads & Sandwich Panel Optimization Methodologies

Creator:

Gray, Gabriel M.

Abstract:

As designers continue to develop the ability to improve a component or system design relative to any number of metrics, priorities and objectives, the need for advanced methodologies which focus efforts and steer design decisions to best meet the needs of the organization becomes increasingly important. This work develops such...

Masters Thesis
Practical application of steady-state 6-DoF aerodynamic model for vehicle system loads analysis

Creator:

Torris, Connor J.

Abstract:

This work develops the Global Formula Racing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in StarCCM+ to allow for vehicle attitude studies to be ran to evaluate Formula Student (FS) vehicle aerodynamic loads. Attitudes that this model allows to be studied include roll, pitch, yaw, heave, tire angle, and vehicle speed. The...

Multi Objective Aerodynamic Design in Formula SAE

Creator:

Arscott, Phillip J.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the effect of aerodynamics on Formula SAE cars. Due to the different objectives of the Formula SAE events, an understanding of the car's complete aerodynamic design is necessary. Using a half car computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, a series of sensitivity studies are conducted to determine trends...

Masters Thesis
Utilizing the thermodynamic properties of E85 to increase the specific efficiency of a high specific output single cylinder Formula SAE engine

Creator:

Duncan, Derek N.

Abstract:

Formula SAE is a collegiate engineering competition that has participants from around the globe. Of the 1000 points available throughout the event, 100 (10%) are dedicated to the fuel efficiency of the student built race cars. Competition rules allow either gasoline or E85, a mix of 85% ethanol and 15%...

Masters Thesis
Alternative design considerations for a wave energy converter : a sustainability approach

Creator:

Collins, Erin

Abstract:

As the negative impacts of a fossil fueled electricity market are becoming more prevalent and destructive, the necessity for alternative energy techniques increases as well. However, before commercial implementation is underway, these alternatives must be assessed from three important perspectives: environmentally, economically, and socially, which are known as the three...

Masters Thesis
Design of composite sandwich panels for a Formula SAE monocoque chassis

Creator:

Story, Robert D.

Abstract:

Physical testing of composite sandwich panels in three point bending is an increasingly important aspect of qualifying a composite monocoque for Formula SAE competition. Required stiffness and strength values have increased over the past three years, and more of the monocoque's laminates must be tested as well. As a result,...

Masters Thesis
Evaluation of failure diagnosis in conceptual design of mechanical systems

Creator:

Ruff, David N.

Abstract:

A methodology for improving quality and reducing life cycle costs of mechanical systems is described. The principal concept is that a system can be designed, in the conceptual stages, to be easier to diagnose for failures. To perform this, functional decomposition and form to function mapping are utilized both as...

Masters Thesis
Analytical method for the prediction of reliability and maintainability based life-cycle labor costs

Creator:

Fitzpatrick, Mark W.

Abstract:

An analytical method for predicting life-cycle maintainability labor costs is developed. The purpose of the analytical method is to allow the evaluation of products, based on life-cycle labor cost, early in the design process. The Boeing 737-300/400/500 Bleed Air Control System is used as a test model, and the results...

Masters Thesis
High cycle fatigue modeling and analysis for deck floor truss connection details

Creator:

DePiero, Anthony H.

Abstract:

The Oregon Department of Transportation is responsible for many steel deck truss bridges containing connection details that are fatigue prone. A typical bridge, the Winchester Bridge in Roseburg, Oregon, was analyzed to assess the loading conditions, stress levels, and fatigue life of the connection details. The analysis included linear-elastic beam...

Masters Thesis
Monitoring and diagnosis of a multi-stage manufacturing process using Bayesian networks

Creator:

Wolbrecht, Eric T.

Abstract:

This thesis describes the application of Bayesian networks for monitoring and diagnosis of a multi-stage manufacturing process, specifically a high speed production part at Hewlett Packard. Bayesian network "part models" were designed to represent individual parts in-process. These were combined to form a "process model", which is a Bayesian network...
