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...

Composite Tools and Optimization in Racecars to Reduce Mass and Design Time

Creator:: Wagoner, Marshall
Abstract:: Designing a carbon fiber chassis for the Global Formula Race car has historically proven to be both time intensive and difficult. The goal of this thesis is to improve the design process for testing Global Formula Racing team's composite chassis sandwich panels. Consideration was taken regarding Formula SAE rules, and...

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...

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...

Evaluating Cultural Dimensions to Design Better User Interfaces

Creator:: Miller, Robert
Abstract:: Cultural differences between designers and users is an important aspect to consider when designing products for other countries. However, many prominent authors in the human factors engineering field have failed to specifically address how to identify and utilize cultural differences in user interface (UI) design. This research evaluated if design...

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...

Floating Offshore Wind Array Systems Optimization off the US West Coast using an Extended Pattern Search Algorithm

Creator:: Forinash, Caitlin P.
Abstract:: The large wind resource off the United States West Coast has the potential to generate wind power for millions of homes, yet the high cost of energy for offshore wind power compared to traditional sources has slowed the development of offshore wind farms in the US. The four studies presented...

Environmental Sustainability During the Early Design Phase: Understanding the Uncertainty in the Use Phase, Visualization, and Automating Design Repository Curation

Creator:: Tensa, Melissa
Abstract:: The objective of this research is to support DfX considerations in the early phases of design, particularly Design for the Environment. In order to include DfX considerations, especially early in the design process, there needs to be access to knowledge and information that is usually only applicable further downstream in...

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,...

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...
