Assessment of Timber Fallers’ Working Conditions in Mixed Tether-assist Timber Harvesting Operations

Creator:: Pokharel, Mandira
Abstract:: With mechanization, the logging industry has experienced a decreasing trend in the total number of workplace accidents, especially as new technology is making harvesting safer. However, there are areas within harvest units such as extremely steep slopes or rocky outcrops that are inaccessible to machines and are required to be...

Behavior of Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragm Panel-to-Panel Connections with Self-Tapping Screws

Creator:: Sullivan, Kyle
Abstract:: The goal of this project is to contribute to the development of design values for cross-laminated timber (CLT) diaphragms in the seismic load-resisting system for buildings. Monotonic and cyclic tests to determine strength and stiffness characteristics of 2.44 m (8 ft) long shear connections with common self-tapping screws were performed....

Designing bulk acoustic wave resonators for parametric amplification of spin waves

Creator:: Chowdhury, Pratim
Abstract:: Spintronics is an emerging field of research dealing with devices that can potentially exploit the additional degree of freedom provided by the electron spin along with or instead of the conventional electronic charge. One of the most promising aspects of spintronics is the potential use of magnetostatic spin waves as...

Determining fracture toughness by orthogonal cutting of polyethylene and wood-polyethylene composites

Creator:: Semrick, Kalin
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate orthogonal cutting as a method to determine the fracture toughness of low and high density polyethylene and wood plastic composites. A test fixture was developed to capture normal and tangential cutting forces at variable depth and rake angle. A tool interface method...

Development of a Radioxenon Detection System using Stilbene and Strontium Iodide

Creator:: Gadey, Harish R.
Abstract:: The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) prohibits the testing of nuclear weapons on the face of the earth. The detection of atmospheric radioxenon (131mXe, 133m/133Xe, and 135Xe) plays an important role in the identification of sub-surface clandestine nuclear weapon explosions. Since the radioxenon identified above decay via two radiation in coincidence,...

Educational needs assessment of designers in west coast states : architects and engineers on the topic of wood products

Creator:: Roth, Travis J.
Abstract:: Architects and engineers are two key types of design professionals who influence the use of wood products in construction. Eighty to ninety percent by volume of all residential structures in the U.S. are wood (Gupta, 2005). In 2010, the non-residential market was made up by 10% wood, 60% steel and...

Effective Bonding Parameters for Hybrid Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)

Creator:: Larkin, Blake
Abstract:: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a massive engineered wood product made of orthogonally bonded layers of solid-sawn lumber, and is intended for roof, floor, or wall applications. Although it was developed in Europe in the early 90s, CLT is relatively new to North America. CLT products must be certified for structural...

Effects of Thinning on Tradeoffs Between Drought Resistance, Drought Resilience, and Wood Production in mature Douglas-fir in Western Oregon

Creator:: Elfstrom, L. Madelene
Abstract:: Recent climate projections predict more frequent and severe drought conditions in western Oregon which is a threat to forest health, productivity, and structure. Land managers are increasingly concerned with how to create forest drought resistance: a tree or stand’s ability to maintain its growth rates during a drought, and resilience:...

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...

Establishing Design Values for Potential Utilization of Western Juniper as a Building Material

Creator:: Miyamoto, Byrne Tadaaki
Abstract:: Western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) is a conifer that is native to Oregon, California, Washington, Nevada, and Idaho. Juniper is known to have highly decay resistant heartwood and is a popular choice for finished furniture. With recent forest management practices over the past 100 years have resulted in an immense population...
