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...

Analysis, testing, and redesign of an environmental control system for an engine dynamometer

Creator:: Morris, Taylor H.
Abstract:: This project analyzes, tests, and redesigns an environmental control system for Global Formula Racing’s (GFR) dynamometer. It seeks to develop a working system to test GFR’s car engine under air conditions similar to those faced during competition. A model is developed to predict the performance of the environmental control system,...

Adhesive Properties Subject to Variation in Temperature, Thickness, and Working Time

Creator:: Aerne, Nicholas, S. J.
Abstract:: Adhesive use is becoming increasingly common in manufacturing processes. The advantage of adhesives are light weight components, non-destructive fastening techniques and distribution of loads over the applied bond region. Modeling the behavior of adhesive bond lines in fastening joints can help in the design process to make an optimized joint,...

Experimental Classification of Intralaminar Matrix Compression Damage Propagation in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers

Creator:: Daniels, Mitchell Alan
Abstract:: Composites often are able to carry more load after damage due to the structure of laminates. In addition, damage can be difficult to detect in composites compared to homogeneous materials. Understanding the behavior of composite material after damage is vital for composite structural design. Currently, experimental methods exist for classifying...

Heat Treatment of Carbon Steel

Creator:: Taylor, William Everett
Abstract:: All carbon steel that is used in tools, springs, and machine parts where tempering is necessary undergoes three distinct heat treatments: first, heating for forging; second, heating for hardening; and third, heating for tempering.

Mechanical linkage design for haptic rehabilitation and development of fine motor skills

Creator:: Streng, B. Taylor
Abstract:: Thousands of children and adults suffer from fine motor skill deficits due to developmental disabilities or brain trauma. In order to acquire or reclaim these precision motor movements, occupational therapists work closely with each patient to develop the muscle memory required for completing tasks such as handwriting or drawing. Although...

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...

Sensitivity of Hashin damage parameters for notched composite panels in tension and out-of-plane bending

Creator:: Wright, Thomas J.
Abstract:: When using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to model notched composite panels, the values of certain material properties can have a great effect on the outcome of the simulation. Progressive damage modeling is used to model how a composite structure will fail, and how that failure will affect the response of...

An investigation of transition from penetration to deflection in the fracture of bi-material interfaces

Creator:: Strom, Joshua L.
Abstract:: The problem of determining whether a crack impinging on an interface will penetrate into the substrate or deflect along the interface is vital to the effective design of layered and composite material systems. Of particular interest is the transition between crack propagation by penetration through an interface and deflection along...
