Environmental Sustainability During the Early Design Phase: Understanding the Uncertainty in the Use Phase, Visualization, and Automating Design Repository Curation

Creator:: Tensa, Melissa
Abstract:: The objective of this research is to support DfX considerations in the early phases of design, particularly Design for the Environment. In order to include DfX considerations, especially early in the design process, there needs to be access to knowledge and information that is usually only applicable further downstream in...

Evaluation of Materials for Use in Open-Cycle Magnetohydrodynamic Power Generation

Creator:: Bowen, Michael S.
Abstract:: Recent interest in oxy-fuel combustion for carbon capture, as well as advancements in technologies such as magnetics, materials, and computational modeling has sparked renewed interest in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation. The increased temperatures of oxy-fuel combustion versus air-fuel combustion poses a challenge in the selection of materials for plasma exposed...

Design and Testing of the FUEL System: Integrating Engineering and Ethnographic Methods in Global Development Efforts

Creator:: Ventrella, Jennifer L.
Abstract:: Clean cooking technologies and fuels have been cited as a viable way to slow climate change and reduce the health and environmental impacts associated with traditional cooking devices used by 40% of the world. While engineers in the Design for Development sector have created hundreds of stove designs that perform...

High Temperature Electrical Properties of Ceria-Based Ceramics for Use as Electrodes in Magnetohydrodynamic Power Generators

Creator:: Bowen, Michael S.
Abstract:: Determining the electrical properties of ceria-based materials is important for their use as electrodes in hot-wall magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generators with wall temperatures greater than 1500 ̊C. The electrical conductivity of a material can be used in models for predicting the performance of generator designs. More specifically, the temperature dependent...

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,...

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...

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...

Data-Driven Environmentally Sustainable Product Design: A Shift Toward Increased use of Sustainable Design Activities in the Early Design Phase

Creator:: Ferrero, Vincenzo J.
Abstract:: Modern product design drives the boundaries of innovation by encompassing complex Design-for-X objectives, and the inclusion of multidimensional stakeholders. This growing complexity in product design has left design teams unequipped, as classical design theory is bounded by designer experience, expertise, and cognition. One novel approach to tackling product complexity is...

Optimization & Qualification of a Liquid Engine Launch Vehicle Design Using 6DoF Simulations

Creator:: Rose, Trevor J.
Abstract:: In this work, I developed a six degree of freedom flight simulator specific to liquid engine launch vehicles. This flight simulator improves upon available software by accounting for liquid engine specific phenomena such as tank pressurization, liquid engine performance, and center of gravity modeling. Additionally, I implemented methods for optimization...

Using discrete-event simulation to study the influence of log yard sorting on sawmill processing efficiency of small-diameter timber

Creator:: Pinon, Olivia J.
Abstract:: A sawmill is similar to other manufacturing enterprises when it comes to making decisions, scheduling production and meeting customer demands. In order to help sawmills achieve their goals, and because there is such a high degree of variability in the raw material used in this industry, computer simulation has proven...
