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...

Using Digital Human Modeling to Evaluate and Improve Car Pillar Design: A Proof of Concept and Design of Experiments

Creator:: Mellon, Taylor R. P.
Abstract:: Considering human factors in early engineering design stages can improve expensive late stage processes, facilitate user safety, improve product quality and help reduce the need for physical prototyping. Currently, car pillar design (the vertical pillars between windows which connect the roof and car body) provide safety for the passengers in...

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...

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...

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...

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 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,...
