Rapid Prototyping of Rigid & Flexible Microfluidic Devices Using Low-Cost Materials and Maker Tools

Creator:: Co, Megan T.
Abstract:: Microfluidics is an evolving field that focuses on the manipulation of small fluid volumes. Because of its micron-sized features, it is the basis for many lab-on-chip and point-of-care diagnostic devices. The devices are predominantly molded from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS); however, production is a multi-hour or multi-day process that typically requires clean...

Describing Tsunami Inundation and Debris Motion using Optical Measurement Methods in a Large-Scale Wave Basin

Creator:: Rueben, Matthew Robert
Abstract:: This thesis consists of two papers in manuscript format. The first paper presents optical measurements of tsunami inundation through an urban waterfront in a laboratory wave basin. The physical model was constructed at 1:50 scale and was an idealization of the town of Seaside, Oregon. The paper presents an analysis...

Achilles Assistance Device as a Passive Ankle Foot Orthosis for Achilles Tendon Injuries

Creator:: Gonnerman, Evan J.
Abstract:: An Achilles tendon injury can be devastating. Surgical methods to bring the muscle to full strength are not always available. Proposed is an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) that is entirely passive (does not add energy to the system) and uses the mechanical advantages provided by the walking gait of a...

Experiential-based learning in engineering project management within a global economy

Creator:: Miles, Evan S.
Abstract:: Introduction Over the past century, great technological advances have enabled high-speed communication and transportation across the globe. This technology trend combined with the needs of continuous expansion of market place has motivated major corporations not to restrict their business activities to within a single principality. Engineering design activities can take...

The Assessment of a Robotic Cookstove Feeder to Assist Human Operators in Cookstove Testing

Creator:: Jou, Matthew
Abstract:: This study aims to explore whether a robotic cookstove feeder can sufficiently reduce variability between tests of a cookstove, produces statistically similar firepower and measured emissions rates, and reduce tester interaction time during standard cookstove testing as compared to a trained human operator. A series of modified ISO/FDIS 19867-1 testing...

Design, Construction, and Evaluation of a Miniature Swing

Creator:: Smith, Matthew
Abstract:: A swing arm compressor was designed, built, and tested as an undergraduate senior design project for Dr. Richard Peterson. The system developed, while not functioning entirely as desired, gave some initial data and a good base of knowledge for a second iteration of the project. This thesis describes in detail...

Numerical Analysis of Experimental Impacts on Wind Turbine Blades

Creator:: 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...

Optimizing shared mooring and anchoring strength for floating offshore wind turbine arrays

Creator:: Devin, Michael C.
Abstract:: Energy from offshore wind could provide substantial power generation if further utilized. One area of significant research focus is in developing floating offshore wind devices, which would allow for wind energy to be gathered in deep water where driven monopile turbines are infeasible. However, floating offshore wind is not currently...

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...

Preserving the Planar Dynamics of a CompliantBipedal Robot with a Yaw-Stabilizing Foot Design

Creator:: Abate, Andrew M.
Abstract:: The ATRIAS agile humanoid robot, along with a number of other spring-mass walking machines, currently have two instabilities: one resulting from inertial forces on the torso which cause the robot to spin like a top, and another resulting from stiff ground collisions which cause chattering of the point-contact toes. This...
