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...

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...

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...

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...

Early Design Evaluation of See-Through Automotive A-pillar Concepts Using Digital Human Modeling and Mixed Reality Techniques

Creator:: Srinivasan, Sriram
Abstract:: Pillars in modern vehicles provide structural integrity by surrounding the windows and joining the roof with the frame. Although they protect the driver and passengers, A-pillars also create obstruction zones by limiting drivers' forward field of view leading to unforeseeable accidents or mishaps. We argue that providing a better pillar...

Incremental Forming of Polymers at Room Temperature

Creator:: Davar Panah, Mohammad Ali
Abstract:: Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a forming process in which a fully clamped sheet is formed by a hemispherical ended tool that moves along a predefined 3D toolpath. The sheet is formed in a series of local deformations to reach its desired shape. Double Sided Incremental Forming (DSIF) includes...

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,...
