  • A Free Running Lubrication Comparison of Commonly Used Bar and Chain Oil

    Creator:
    Orawiec, Alexander
    Abstract:
    Chain saws are a common tool used by large logging corporations and family homesteads to manage forests, limb trees and buck lumber. A significant cost of operation is the continuous required supply of bar and chain oil. Consumers and logging corporations desire a lubricant with a high performance to cost...

  • Automated Tradeoff Analysis of Cost Versus Machinability for Design Feedback

    Creator:
    Grier, Alan Thomas
    Abstract:
    As CAD tools become more sophisticated, engineers are able to more easily create complex part geometries with minimal mass given strength and stiffness requirements. However, these complex part geometries can be difficult to subtractively manufacture, which consequently increases manufacturing cost and production time. This thesis presents a method independent of...

  • Automated Design of Foam Packaging Shapes

    Creator:
    So, David M.
    Abstract:
    Creating effective packaging is about finding a balance between product protection during shipping and time consumption in the design process. Given time and cost constraints, it is hard to produce sufficiently protective padding while having it not be thicker than it needs to be. This thesis describes a method to...

  • Design Automation for 3D Circuits

    Creator:
    Velayati, Mohammad
    Abstract:
    Traditional electronic systems are usually fabricated via printed circuit boards (PCBs). In a regular PCB, the electronic components are placed and mounted on a two-dimensional board. Such a component layout limits the freedom in the component placement process which results in larger electronic devices. With the use of Additive Manufacturing...

  • Automated Synthesis of Hybrid Energy Network Optimization using A* & Ensemble Forecasting

    Creator:
    Luc, Jonathan H.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes a method for automatically generating and evaluating small-scale off-grid energy systems. Such systems are comprised of components such as solar panels, residential-scale wind turbines, batteries, inverters and charge controllers. These disparate components are assembled into feasible networks through the use of topological optimization and graph grammar rules....

  • Integrative Review of Methods for Cognitive Debiasing and Applications in Design

    Creator:
    Han, Yu L.
    Abstract:
    Design is a process of decision making. Organizations that are dedicated to systematic support of the design process tend to have higher profit margins. Further, studies of system development have shown that early-stage design mistakes have a large impact on incurred costs. Therefore, it is critical to identify methods to...

  • Applications of Bayesian Optimization and Classification Surrogate Modeling to User-Guided Design

    Creator:
    Jetton, Cole M.
    Abstract:
    In engineering problems not all constraints can be explicitly written as mathematical functions. There needs to be a way integrate designer knowledge into the design process and preferably use that to guide an optimization problem. In this thesis, these constraints are modelled using classification surrogate models and integrated with Bayesian...

  • 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...

  • Implementing a Multi-Agent Approach to a Graph-Based Topology Optimization

    Creator:
    Bai, Gaofeng
    Abstract:
    In order to solve some classic problems in traditional topology optimization, such as unknown material distribution, checker-boarding and curse of dimensionality, this thesis introduces a new method to construct a mechanical structure that can reduce mass and increase stiffness. It uses a graph to represent the skeleton of a structure....
