  • Comparing and Contrasting the Merits of Additive Manufactured Electric Vehicle Suspension Components: GFR Case Study

    Creator:
    Peraza-Garcia, Jesus
    Abstract:
    This thesis compares the implementation of additive manufactured suspension uprights against subtractive manufactured suspension uprights from concept generation, design, and validation through simulation. Additive manufactured suspension uprights were designed for Global Formula Racing’s 2023 electric vehicle. Utilizing Siemens NX, Nastran, Fusion 360, and Ansys Workbench both subtractive and additive manufactured...

  • Generalized Preconditioning to Accelerate Simulations with Large Multiphase Chemical Kinetics Models

    Creator:
    Walker, Anthony S.
    Abstract:
    Combustion emissions produced from burning real transportation fuels have many environmental impacts. However, detailed chemistry across multiple phases, time scales, and thermodynamic conditions make predicting combustion emissions challenging. Detailed modeling of the gas phase alone is prohibitively expensive, due to the large size and stiffness of the kinetic models. The...

  • Validation of Design For Additive Manufacturing Heuristics for Aperiodic Structures through Application to Regular Structures

    Creator:
    Schipper, Paxton
    Abstract:
    Aperiodic structures cause significant challenges to subtractive manufacturing methods due to the common features such as inaccessible voids within the structure. Additive man- ufacturing presents an appealing alternative for this purpose. The aim of this research is to test analysis heuristics for validity through application to periodic structures. First, a...

  • Numerical Modeling of Powder Metallurgy Hot Isostatic Pressing

    Creator:
    Sobhani, Samaneh
    Abstract:
    Powder Metallurgy Hot Isostatic Pressing (PM-HIP) is a widely recognized powder metallurgy manufacturing process to produce near-net-shape and net-shape components. During general PM-HIP processes the metal powders are filled within a capsule (die), heated and loaded with high pressure simultaneously, and solidified to form the final product. Due to the...

  • Student Club Analysis: The Effects of Organizational Structuring on Competition Performance

    Creator:
    Chandler, Jacob J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis aims to explore the effects of organizational and management principles within the context of a student club – an international Formula Student team. Research on the effects of organizational structuring on student club performance tends to be qualitative in nature. While considering the inherent complexity of the human...

  • Multi-modal sensing data fusion for machining and additive manufacturing

    Creator:
    Fu, Xianzhe
    Abstract:
    With the increased demand for high-quality products, reliable and robust process monitoring has become a key capability for modern manufacturing systems. Through sensors installed in the machinery, the real-time information was measured to assess the state of the processes. The measured data can be used to infer the mechanical, material,...

  • Work Experience and Improvement Behavior: A Preliminary Study

    Creator:
    Azhar, Mina
    Abstract:
    Improvement behaviors, specifically double loop, have been linked to successful lean implementations. Although the lean literature supports individual cognitive transformation to double loop learning as an important element of lean success, there remains a strategic methodology to achieve sustainable double loop behavior. Perceptions toward behavior and employee satisfaction have been...

  • Exploring the Ductility Minimum of Niobium C103 at Intermediate Temperatures using Triaxial Tensile Specimens

    Creator:
    Wood, Thomas N., II
    Abstract:
    This work explores the mechanical properties of single-phase niobium alloy C103 from room temperature to 600°C for the purpose of expanding safe uses of the material into new applications. The study utilizes a symmetrically notched triaxial tensile specimens to manipulate the internal stress field in order to observe the changes...

  • Operation of a High-Temperature Oxidation Reactor for Thermochemical Energy Storage

    Creator:
    Ramsey, Owen C.
    Abstract:
    The cost of long-duration energy storage poses one of the most significant limitations on the penetration of renewables into power grids. Thermochemical energy storage has great potential to reduce this cost through the use of a reversible redox reaction pair that has a high enthalpy of reaction. The chemical nature...

  • Adaptive Learning Module for Introduction to Materials Science

    Creator:
    Nigon, Nutnicha
    Abstract:
    There is a growing need for individualized instructional designs in 4-year institutions due to: 1) growing undergraduate enrollment trends across the U.S., 2) broader diversity in students backgrounds, and 3) the growing prevalence of asynchronous remote learning. With the growth in computer technology in education, tools such as adaptive intelligent...
