Numerical Analysis of Experimental Impacts on Wind Turbine Blades

Creatore:: Fleiger-Holmes, Kahlan
Abstract:: Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable forms of energy in the United States and the world. However, interactions between wind turbines and wildlife have the possibility to injure animals such as birds and bats. Strategies to assess and minimize wind turbine interactions with wildlife are critical for...

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

Creatore:: 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...

Electrical Conductivity of Ceramic Material at High Temperature

Creatore:: Kangsathein, Parm
Abstract:: The electrical conductivity data of ceramic material at high temperatures can be useful in the application of modeling, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD). The existing data is considerably lacking at extreme temperatures. Our research focuses on bridging this gap by reporting the electrical conductivity measurements of sets...

TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY, THAT IS THE QUESTION

Creatore:: 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...

Co-design of a Jupyter Notebook for wood stove emissions analysis

Creatore:: Schofield, Ryan
Abstract:: Designs for improved cookstoves aim to decrease the detrimental environmental and health impacts that are associated with traditional biomass cooking practiced by nearly 40% of the global population. Programs to provide improved cookstoves are found worldwide, and regional testing centers support development of these through emissions testing services. Aprovecho Research...

Mechanically Enhanced and Optically Compatible Hydrogels for Particle Image Velocimetry in Porous Flow

Creatore:: Cornwell-Arquitt, Luke
Abstract:: Hydrogels have been attractive for use as a medium in porous flow studies, but have always been limited in this role because of their poor mechanical properties. This project analyzes and tests two recently developed hydrogels, poly(methacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (PMM), and a heat-treated long chain PVA hydrogel. Particle image velocimetry (PIV)...

Turning Brake Cylinder Housing

Creatore:: 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...

The COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on outdoor recreation

Creatore:: Davis, Jensen
Abstract:: In the spring of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic began. This prompted quarantines, mask mandates, and stopped many businesses and services. This study asked the question of what people decided to do in terms of their recreation habits in response to the pandemic. We took a sample of Oregon State University...

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

Creatore:: 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...

Fluid dynamic analysis of fluid flow in a raceway tank for cultivation of macrophytic red algae, Gracilaria vermiculophylla

Creatore:: Willis, Myles
Abstract:: As new cost-effective cultivation methods are needed for macrophytic red algae, this experiment expands upon a previously studied land-based approach. The experiment aimed to determine how the fluid dynamics of a previously researched land-based method affected the growth of the macrophytic red alga, Gracilaria Vermiculophylla. A clonal culture of G....
