Shocks and Awe : Damping Selection in Racecars to Maximize Grip

Creator:: Takaro, Trevor M. F.
Abstract:: This thesis covers the use of a quarter car model to select damping rates for aFormula Student (FS) car, focusing on minimizing vertical tire force variation to improvegrip. A 2 degree of freedom (DOF) quarter car model is cycled over the road frequenciesof interest and the results compared with the...

Heat transfer in magnetic fluids at low Reynolds number

Creator:: Choi, Sang Hyouk
Abstract:: This study was concerned with the flow of a magnetic self-propelled ferrohydrodynamic fluid in a horizontal circular tube subjected to axially varying temperature and magnetic field. The first phase of the study involved the analytical solution to the governing equations for the velocity and temperature profiles within the fully developed...

Optimization Across Decomposition : A Multiagent Model of Collaboration in Decomposed System Design

Creator:: Hulse, Daniel E.
Abstract:: Complex engineered systems design is a collaborative activity. To design a system, experts from the relevant disciplines must work together to create the best overall system from their individual components. This situation is analogous to a multiagent system in which agents solve individual parts of a larger problem. Current multiagent...

A photoelastic stress analysis of a beam under shear and compressive loads

Creator:: Bitting, Kenneth Robert
Abstract:: The determination of failure is complicated when a structural element is subjected to combined rather than simple stresses. This is especially true when the principle of superposition does not apply. For such cases, tests of the element under the expected loads are required to determine its failure criteria. In this...

Robust lateral pulse jet control of an atmospheric rocket

Creator:: Burchett, Bradley Thomas
Abstract:: Uncontrolled direct fire rockets exhibit high impact point dispersion, even at relatively short range, and as such have been employed as area weapons on the battlefield. In order to reduce the dispersion of a direct fire rocket, feedback control is employed to fire short-duration solid rocket pulses mounted near the...

Buoyant flow simulation programs with interactive graphics

Creator:: Hoevekamp, Tobias B.
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

The Effect of Varying Parameters on Web Vibration Analysis Accuracy

Creator:: Gladson, Kathleen Y.
Abstract:: The SpiderHarp is a bio-inspired electronic musical instrument that uses a localization algorithm developed at Oregon State University to translate plucks of its strings into musical notes. This localization algorithm was inspired by the way spiders locate prey in their webs. The SpiderHarp frame, sensors, and web design are also...

An analytical model of heat transfer to a horizontal cylinder immersed in a gas fluidized bed

Creator:: Adams, Ronald Lynn
Abstract:: A steady gas convection model of heat transfer to a horizontal cylinder immersed in a gas fluidized bed is presented. Contributions due to flow within attached bubbles as well as the interstitial voids are included. The interstitial flow is approximated as flow within a series of double cusped channels and...

Applications of the thermal wave technique in liquid thermal conductivity measurements and flow field diagnostics

Creator:: Wang, Zhefu
Abstract:: The thermal wave technique has been explored for the use of liquid thermal conductivity measurement and flow property diagnostics in this dissertation. For liquid thermal conductivity measurements, an experimental technique based on the thermal wave approach is developed. A stainless steel strip functions as both a heating element and a...

Vibrations of suspended cables

Creator:: Gale, John Gregg
Abstract:: The equations of motion of an elastic cable suspended in a viscous medium from two arbitrary points are derived. These are then linearized for the undamped, inextensible case, and it is found that the equations describing the in-plane motion of the cable are then independent of the equation describing the...
