  • Design and Fabrication of a Public Locker for Non-Motorized Watercraft

    Creator:
    Cordisco, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    Visitors to waterways need a way to securely lock up their non-motorized watercrafts to allow for exploration of the local area and communities. The Willamette Water Trail Steering committee recognized this problem and approached the Oregon State University Prototype Development lab to develop and fabricate a solution. The engineering design...

  • Turning Brake Cylinder Housing

    Creator:
    Radcliffe, Noah
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project is to assist the OSU Baja Racing vehicle in turning more sharply. This is done using a turning brake, which locks one rear wheel to facilitate turning on a smaller radius. This project focuses on the development of a custom cylinder housing for the turning...

  • Testing and design procedures for electric propellant pumps for suborbital bi-propellant rockets

    Creator:
    Verna-Ketel, Dominic
    Abstract:
    An electrically driven propellant pump (HALE E-Pump) was analysed and tested to determine its viability for use in a bi-propellant launch vehicle for the High-Altitude Liquid Engine (HALE) student rocket team at Oregon State University (OSU). The pump, manufactured in 2022 by students in OSU machine shops, was hydrostatically tested...

  • Mechanical Properties of Hemp Fiber Reinforced Polylactic Acid Composite

    Creator:
    Skuratowicz, Berkeley
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the mechanical properties of hemp fiber reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composites. Fused filament fabrication (FFF) was used to compare the performance of three different weight percentages of hemp fiber reinforced PLA against PLA and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). It was found that as the weight percentage of...

    Coleman Boyd
    Abstract:
    0.1 Purpose of Report During my time on this project, I have written two reports. My SAE22 ePowertrain report details last year's design, the design process, design changes, and manufacturing in extreme detail. The capstone course report will be useful for future students looking to educate themselves on everything that...

  • 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...

  • The Design and Development of Custom Rear Brake Calipers for the Oregon State University Formula SAE

    Creator:
    Van Horn, Allison
    Abstract:
    Rear brake calipers are a critical component of the brake system within a vehicle. Brake calipers function by clamping against the brake rotor when the brake pedal is pressed by the driver and thus results in deceleration of the vehicle. This thesis aims to design and develop custom rear brake...

  • Design cycle models and knowledge management systems

    Creator:
    Popham, Kinsey
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the relationship between design cycle models and knowledge management systems applied to various physical prototypes that the author developed from 2020 to 2023. The author walks through the process of prototyping a potty-training device in OSU’s Prototype Development Lab and an automated testing fixture for her Senior...
