  • Automated Assembly Planning : From CAD Model to Virtual Assembly Process

    Creator:
    Rafibakhsh, Nima
    Abstract:
    Assembly planning is a crucial task for every manufacturing product. In general, assembly operations consume more than 30% of the total manufacturing time and cost. Therefore, any effort in optimizing assembly will have a significant impact on the economic success of manufacturing. Finding an optimal assembly plan by hand is...

  • Automated Rapid Manufacturing Feedback for Design Considering Advanced Joining Processes

    Creator:
    Chan, Rothanak
    Abstract:
    As manufacturing advancements continue to develop, designers must be able to consider these technologies during the design process. Unfortunately, many of these new technologies, such as additive and advanced joining, have many nuances that require expert knowledge to effectively apply. Additionally, new design techniques, such as topology optimization, allow users...

  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • Coevolution and transfer learning in a point-to-point fleet coordination problem

    Creator:
    Yliniemi, Logan Michael
    Abstract:
    In this work we present a multiagent Fleet Coordination Problem (FCP). In this formulation, agents seek to minimize the fuel consumed to complete all deliveries while maintaining acceptable on-time delivery performance. Individual vehicles must both (i) bid on the rights to deliver a load of goods from origin to destination...

  • 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...

  • Design cycle models and knowledge management systems

    Creator:
    Popham, Kinsey
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the relationship between design cycle models and knowledge management systems applied to various physical prototypes that the author developed from 2020 to 2023. The author walks through the process of prototyping a potty-training device in OSU’s Prototype Development Lab and an automated testing fixture for her Senior...

  • The Structural Characteristics of Robustness in Large-Scale Complex Engineered Systems

    Creator:
    Walsh, Hannah S.
    Abstract:
    Modern engineered systems are increasingly integrated into society, decentralized, and interconnected. However, scale and complexity create unique challenges in system design, such as emergent behavior and unintended consequences. This work investigates the structural characteristics of robustness in complex engineered systems by identifying patterns of under-recognized vulnerabilities at various levels of...

  • Optimization Across Decomposition : A Multiagent Model of Collaboration in Decomposed System Design

    Creator:
    Hulse, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    Complex engineered systems design is a collaborative activity. To design a system, experts from the relevant disciplines must work together to create the best overall system from their individual components. This situation is analogous to a multiagent system in which agents solve individual parts of a larger problem. Current multiagent...

  • Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Algorithm Development and Investigation of Layout Design Influences

    Creator:
    Sharp, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    Realizing the vast amount of energy available in ocean waves, an industry has emerged that is progressing towards the deployment of grid–connected wave energy converters. Likely to be deployed in arrays, a challenge to the wave energy industry is maximizing the energy production of such arrays. We have been developing...
