Wing Flutter Suppression via Distributed Electric Propulsion

Creator:: Bamberger, Joshua
Abstract:: This research aims to demonstrate the viability of actively controlled distributed-electric propulsion as a method to postpone flutter in high aspect-ratio elastic wings. A semi-wing on a spring mount with two propellers powered by electric motors, mounted at alternate pitch angles relative to the chord line, was used as the...
Resource Type:: Honors College Thesis

Water treatment technologies for the developing world

Creator:: Burleson, Grace Ellen
Abstract:: The intent of this report is to provide a brief description of water quality issues in Nicaragua, Uganda and Bangladesh, and the technologies available to address these issues. The water quality parameters considered include: bacterial contamination, heavy metals and arsenic, pesticides and industrious chemicals, turbidity, radiological characteristics, and taste and...

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...

Utilization of Robot Ankle Torque to Account for Foot Placement Error

Creator:: Bernards, Mitchell F.
Abstract:: Modern walking robots have shown that dynamic gaits can be achieved without ankle motors. It seems logical that the additional control authority that they provide can be used to improve the stability of the walking gait against foot placement errors caused by low level control. This thesis develops and compares...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Propulsion

Creator:: Brown, Sean
Abstract:: There is a growing US interest in UAVs for many applications ranging from agriculture to military. One area of improvement that can be realized in each category is propulsion. Engines with greater efficiency would result in longer mission duration, leading to cost savings and increased usefulness for UAV owners and...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Black Box

Creator:: Diebold, John
Abstract:: This project created a stand-alone unit capable of providing on-board sensing and processing for robotic vehicles. This unit was designed to be compact, lightweight, inexpensive, and adaptable. The goal of this project is to help advance robotics research in mapping and multi-agent coordination by making it easier to equip vehicles...
Resource Type:: Honors College Thesis

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...

Traveling to Africa: An Orientation

Creator:: Converse, Bradley R.
Abstract:: After traveling to Africa and experiencing the struggles and confusion of interacting with a new culture, I saw the need for some sort of orientation device that would adequately prepare first timers, but also not be too lengthy and daunting for a person that will only be spending a few...

Trailing Edge Flap Optimization for an Upper-Surface Blown Aircraft Wing

Creator:: Kelly, Bryan R.
Abstract:: Integrated Distributed Electric Augmented Lift (IDEAL) applies upper surface blowing in a novel way to achieve electric short take-off and landing to meet the growing need for urban air transportation. Additional research on propulsion airframe interaction (PAI) with trailing edge flaps at low Reynolds numbers was necessary to advance the...

TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY, THAT IS THE QUESTION

Creator:: Oster, Sidney C.
Abstract:: The “why” of any situation is one of the most important questions to ask. Inventors have ideas every day. Some ideas are the brilliant ideas that lead to a better tomorrow. To protect these ideas, inventors turn to patents, a governmental grant of the right to stop others, for a...
