  • Ontologies to Support Repeatable and Valid Customer Requirements Generation

    Creator:
    Lemke, Mark T.
    Abstract:
    Due to the growing complexity, sophistication, and interconnectedness of present day engineered products and services, the use of ontologies in engineering design is becoming more widespread. An ontology provides a standardized way of describing concepts in a domain of interest and the relationships between these concepts to better understand the...

  • Reverse engineering, modeling, and redesign of a vibratory conveyor

    Creator:
    Foglesong, Timothy J.
    Abstract:
    Some successful products are still developed and produced without the benefit of modern design techniques. One such product is a vibratory conveyor that has been developed largely through prototype iteration. The manufacturer has collaborated with Oregon State University to introduce model-based design into the development process. This research details a...

  • A framework to model reliability and failures in complex systems during the early engineering design process

    Creator:
    O'Halloran, Bryan M.
    Abstract:
    An open area of research in complex systems is to move reliability and failure assessments earlier in the engineering design process. When compared to later design, early decisions are cost effective and have a large impact on the system. Standard methods are limited by the availability of data and often...

  • Characterization of expert solutions to inform instruction and assessment in an industrially situated process development task

    Creator:
    Sherrett, Ben U.
    Abstract:
    What constitutes a quality solution to an authentic task from industry? This study seeks to address this question through the examination of two expert solutions to an authentic engineering task used in the Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering curriculum at Oregon State University. The two solutions were generated by two...

  • Methodologies to improve reliability engineering in early design

    Creator:
    O'Halloran, Bryan M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is the summation of two publications with the motivation to move reliability analysis earlier in the design process. Current analyses aim to improve reliability after components have been selected. Moving specific analyses earlier in the design process reduces the cost to the designer. These early design analyses provide...
