The COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on outdoor recreation

Creator:: 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...

One Service Robot’s Exploration of Entertainment Methods During COVID-19

Creator:: Tsai, Yao-Lin
Abstract:: The study focuses on how to use entertainment method approach to prompt people with best practices for COVID safety. During COVID times, there have been many robots deployed in public places such as social distancing enforcer or a robot that provide facial masks, but few investigations have been done to...

A modeling and empirical study of a novel bimodal natural gas internal combustion engine with fuel compression capability

Creator:: Elgin, Robert C., III
Abstract:: Given the current abundant supply and cheap price of natural gas (NG) in the United States, there is a significant opportunity to use this fuel for transportation. However, there are few fueling stations for consumers. To address this need, a dual-mode engine has been developed where in one mode all...

Design for Clean Technology Adoption: Application of Discrete Choice Analysis and the Theory of Planned Behavior for Development Engineering

Creator:: Pakravan, Mohammad H.
Abstract:: Clean technologies can address multiple challenges associated with climate change, environmental protection, and human health. However, the impact desired by introduction of such technologies is achievable only if new options effectively replace inefficient, conventional practices. This ‘design for adoption’ requires understanding of user motivations, associated beliefs, context of use, and...

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...

Kinematics of arthropod legs : modeling and measurement

Creator:: Albright, Stephen L.
Abstract:: This thesis presents a method for determining the kinematic geometry of arthropod legs. A kinematic description makes possible the analysis of arthropod leg motion, as a prelude to investigating how various arthropod species are able to negotiate diverse terrains. Such knowledge will aid in design of legged vehicles. The focus...

Lateral pulse jet control of a direct fire atmospheric rocket using an inertial measurement unit sensor system

Creator:: Jitpraphai, Thanat
Abstract:: Impact point dispersion of a direct fire rocket can be drastically reduced with a ring of appropriately sized lateral pulse jets coupled to a trajectory tracking flight control system. The system is shown to work well against uncertainty in the form of initial off-axis angular velocity perturbations as well as...

Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Algorithm Development and Investigation of Layout Design Influences

Creator:: Sharp, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Realizing the vast amount of energy available in ocean waves, an industry has emerged that is progressing towards the deployment of grid–connected wave energy converters. Likely to be deployed in arrays, a challenge to the wave energy industry is maximizing the energy production of such arrays. We have been developing...

Experimental study of two-phase gas-liquid flow in a microscale fractal-like branching flow network

Creator:: Kwak, Younghoon
Abstract:: Two-phase gas-liquid flows in microscale fractal-like branching channel flow networks were experimentally studied to assess the validity of existing void fraction correlations and flow regimes based on superficial gas and liquid velocities. Void fractions were assessed using two different methods. First, void fraction data were acquired using a High-Speed-High-Resolution (HSHR)...
