Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Black Box

Creator:: Diebold, John
Abstract:: This project created a stand-alone unit capable of providing on-board sensing and processing for robotic vehicles. This unit was designed to be compact, lightweight, inexpensive, and adaptable. The goal of this project is to help advance robotics research in mapping and multi-agent coordination by making it easier to equip vehicles...

Hybrid Statistical and Engineering Optimization Architectures in Early Multidisciplinary Designs of Resilience and Expensive Black-box Complex Systems

Creator:: Biswas, Arpan
Abstract:: Practical engineering design problems are generally multi-disciplinary with limited budget and high risk in terms of life loss, economic resources, etc. In the early phase of such problems, selection of true efficient designs is desired while minimizing overall design cost by avoiding expensive search processes. However, the task is difficult...

Development of acoustic emissions testing procedures applicable to conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder bridges subjected to diagonal tension cracking

Creator:: Lovejoy, Steven C.
Abstract:: A need exists to develop a non-destructive testing technique that can identify the formation and propagation of diagonal tension cracks in conventionally steel reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) highway bridges in the State of Oregon. Such a technique could be included into a structural health monitoring (SHM) system installed on...

Micromechanics of heterogeneous materials under compressive loading

Creator:: Laird, George
Abstract:: In mining and mineral processing, compressive loading is often encountered during the comminution of ore bearing minerals and in the wear resistant materials used in the comminution circuit. A common thread joining many of the materials that are primarily used under compressive loading is the presence of a high modulus...

An investigation of the effects of immersed heat exchanger tube spacing and arrangement on the quality of fluidization in a cold phase two-dimensional fluidized bed

Creator:: Lockwood, Dwight Norris
Abstract:: The feasibility of fluidized bed combustion of coal for commercial and industrial steam power generation has been established and reported in the literature. Satisfactory removal of sulfur oxides from the combustion product gases has also been reported. In this experiment various heat exchanger tube patterns, of commercial size tubes, were...

Evaluation of copper to superconductor area ratio measurement techniques for niobium-titanium composite superconducting wire

Creator:: Pyon, Taeyoung
Abstract:: Measurement of the copper to superconductor ratio (Cu/SC) in composite superconducting wires is necessary for process control, quality assurance, and characterization of the final wire properties. A comparison has been made of three techniques for measuring the Cu/SC ratio on a set of commercial wires produced for the Superconducting SuperCollider...

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...

Integrated Evaluation of Drinking Water Purification: A Mixed-Method Laboratory and Field Assessment of a Biomass-Powered Water Treatment Technology

Creator:: Burleson, Grace Ellen
Abstract:: The global water crisis is defined as one of the major threats facing humankind over the next decade with over 1 in 10 people lacking access to clean drinking water worldwide. An estimated 1.2 million people pasteurize their drinking water by using boiling as an indicator. Pasteurization is the process...

An investigation of the effects of radial acceleration on a fluidized bed used for filtration of air-borne particulate of submicron size

Creator:: Junge, David C.
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Mixed reactant single chamber fuel cell, using products generated from the electrolysis of an aqueous electrolyte

Creator:: Jost, William C.
Abstract:: A Mixed Reactant Single Chamber (MRSC) Fuel Cell is a relatively recent concept in the field of fuel cell engineering originally developed in the late 1950’s. Typical fuel cells have separated reactants (a separated fuel and oxidizer) that react on their usually non-selective electro-catalytic materials. A mixed reactant fuel cell...
