  • The Art and Craft of John Williams

    Creator:
    Lincoln, Danae A.
    Abstract:
    The intent of this paper is to bring more attention to the mastery involved with film composition as an art form. The research focuses specifically on the life, style, influences, and works of John Williams as a conductor, film composer, and composer. It addresses his biography, filmography, and working relationships,...

  • Characterization and mitigation of train vibrations in a laboratory facility

    Creator:
    Atanasov, Atanas A.
    Abstract:
    Excessive environmental vibrations can have deleterious effects in a variety of animals. Despite the potentially detrimental effects vibrations may have on animal health and experimental results, they remain poorly understood in the animal laboratory setting. This study investigates the consequences of excessive train vibrations on the breeding success of laboratory...

  • Dynamics and stability of lateral plane locomotion on variable inclines

    Creator:
    Bonnono, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    An actuated, bipedal model is developed to investigate lateral plane locomotion dynamics and stability on inclines. Both the point mass case and rigid body case are considered. Variations in the force-free leg length are determined via inverse dynamics to explicitly and implicitly match prescribed lateral and fore-aft force profiles, respectively....

  • Further Development of MPM and its Applications in Modeling Wood-Adhesive Bonds

    Creator:
    Hammerquist, Chad C.
    Abstract:
    This work is a culmination of a series of published works related to the use of the Material Point Method (MPM) in modeling wood adhesive bonds. The use of wood as construction material has the potential to play a small role in the solution to the current CO2 and climate...

  • A performance comparison of chainsaw bar lubricants

    Creator:
    Suryan, Levi J.
    Abstract:
    Chainsaws, an indispensable tool for modern forestry operations, rely on bar lubricant to prevent rapid wear of the chain and bar. Choice of bar lubricant must balance performance, cost, and biological impact. Many bar lubricants are available, but little published work exists that conclusively ranks the performance of these choices....

  • The Design and Construction of a Rotary Carburetor for a High Speed Gasoline Motor

    Creator:
    Lines, John Donald
    Abstract:
    A carburetor, such as is used on a gasoline engine, is an appliance for vaporizing liquid hydrocarbons by atomizing the liquid and mixing it with air. This mixture of gasoline vapor and air is drawn into the cylinder of'a gasoline engine, compressed and exploded by means of an electric spark;...

  • Experimental characterization of saw chain cutting performance

    Creator:
    Otto, Andrew W.
    Abstract:
    Chainsaw users value cutting performance and safety. Knowledge of the forces exerted during sawing are necessary to understand and improve the cutting performance of saw chain. Additionally, cutting forces can be used to form metrics for evaluating performance tradeoffs when using a safety (i.e. low-kickback) saw chain versus a standard...

  • Investigation into the role of strength and toughness in composite materials with an angled incident crack

    Creator:
    Grimm, Brian A.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the mechanical behavior of composite materials requires extensive knowledge of fracture behavior as a crack approaches an interface between the bulk material and the reinforcement structure. Overall material toughness can be greatly influenced by the propensity of an impinging crack to propagate directly through the substrate or deflect along...

  • Brake-based wheel speed control design of a rear wheel open differential vehicle

    Creator:
    Jeon, Eli
    Abstract:
    A brake-based wheel speed control system for a rear-wheel drive vehicle is developed and simulated in this thesis. The OSU mini-Baja vehicle team will use this study in the development and implementation of a similar system for upcoming competitions. Vehicle submittals must differ to a specified degree from previous year’s...
