Fatigue Testing and Analysis of Polymer and Composite Materials Used in Heavy-Duty Trucks

Creator:

Gahan, Kevan

Abstract:

As structural durability analysis is increasingly trusted during the design processes of the automotive industry, more complete and sophisticated modeling of material behavior under both static and dynamic loading conditions is paramount. This is especially true regarding the application of heavy-duty trucks, where modern designs contain large parts such as...

Design Optimization of a Structurally Flexible Wave Energy Converter with a Direct Search Algorithm

Creator:

Berrier, Austin S.

Abstract:

Several wave energy converter designs have been recently proposed that are made of flexible materials. Flexible devices are able to generate electricity by being stretched, and are intended to simplify deployment and maintenance concerns over existing wave energy devices. Due to the relative infancy of flexible wave energy converters, however,...

Functional analysis to inform early design decisions for novel systems with substantial operations and maintenance costs

Creator:

Algarra, Nathan

Abstract:

Long field-life systems are those for which operational, as opposed to capital, expenditures dominate the life time cost of the system. In established product categories, operational experience and historical maintenance data allows engineers to make informed decisions influencing maintenance during the early design stages when design changes are at their...
