Data Mining a Design Repository for Automating and Validating Functional Modeling

Creator:

Mikes, Alex B.

Abstract:

The purpose of this work is to build a foundation of understanding and methodologies as the steps toward automating functional modeling. We have achieved significant progress in the automatic generation of functional representations, which can be connected at the interface of components to create a functional model. This work highlights...

Masters Thesis
A Preliminary Methodology For Automating Functional Modeling

Creator:

Edmonds, Katherine N.

Abstract:

This thesis is the combination of two research publications working towards automating functional modeling. Functional modeling is an underutilized yet critical tool for concept generation and product design. Understanding the difficulty both novice and expert designers have in implementing functional modeling in their design process, this research sets out to...

Masters Thesis
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....

Knowing your customers : ontological gathering and analysis techniques

Creator:

Nix, Anthony A.

Abstract:

This research presents a methodology to analyze customer needs and direct the gathering of customer needs that both span the need space and are independent. An ontological categorization, the fundamental research contribution of this work, is created to support both aims of the overall methodology. Providing designers with a customer...

Dissertation
Ontologies to Support Repeatable and Valid Customer Requirements Generation

Creator:

Lemke, Mark T.

Abstract:

Due to the growing complexity, sophistication, and interconnectedness of present day engineered products and services, the use of ontologies in engineering design is becoming more widespread. An ontology provides a standardized way of describing concepts in a domain of interest and the relationships between these concepts to better understand the...

Masters Thesis
Understanding Designer Mental Models to Support Computer Directed Analogical Design

Creator:

Arlitt, Ryan M.

Abstract:

Analysis of alternative concepts has a significant impact on design project outcomes, and yet many design teams fail to consider a significantly broad range of conceptual solutions. Within the realm of conceptual design exists a technique called design by analogy (DBA) -- the practice of reapplying old solutions to new...

Dissertation
Reverse engineering, modeling, and redesign of a vibratory conveyor

Creator:

Foglesong, Timothy J.

Abstract:

Some successful products are still developed and produced without the benefit of modern design techniques. One such product is a vibratory conveyor that has been developed largely through prototype iteration. The manufacturer has collaborated with Oregon State University to introduce model-based design into the development process. This research details a...

Masters Thesis
A framework to model reliability and failures in complex systems during the early engineering design process

Creator:

O'Halloran, Bryan M.

Abstract:

An open area of research in complex systems is to move reliability and failure assessments earlier in the engineering design process. When compared to later design, early decisions are cost effective and have a large impact on the system. Standard methods are limited by the availability of data and often...

Dissertation
Characterization of expert solutions to inform instruction and assessment in an industrially situated process development task

Creator:

Sherrett, Ben U.

Abstract:

What constitutes a quality solution to an authentic task from industry? This study seeks to address this question through the examination of two expert solutions to an authentic engineering task used in the Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering curriculum at Oregon State University. The two solutions were generated by two...

Resource Type:

Masters Thesis
Methodologies to improve reliability engineering in early design

Creator:

O'Halloran, Bryan M.

Abstract:

This thesis is the summation of two publications with the motivation to move reliability analysis earlier in the design process. Current analyses aim to improve reliability after components have been selected. Moving specific analyses earlier in the design process reduces the cost to the designer. These early design analyses provide...
