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...

Characterization and Prediction of Reactive Forces for Compressed 3D Printed Hyperelastic Lattice Structures

Creator:: So, David M.
Abstract:: In order to generate practical ways to easily design functional flexible lattice structures, this research seeks to find a way to predict reactive forces of compressed hyperelastic cubic lattice structures. Using 3D printed test coupons, material data was collected for use in finite element analysis. Cubic lattice structures with varying...

An experimental approach to analyze large notched composite panels loaded in out-of-plane shear

Creator:: Froemming, Tyler M.
Abstract:: Identifying material characteristics of composites is important in designing any structural system. The aerospace industry relies on these material properties not only to design a functional aircraft, but also a safe and reliable one. Since carbon fiber composites are relatively new materials, little is known about its characteristics under certain...

Incorporating uncertainty into diagnostic analysis of mechanical systems

Creator:: Mocko, Gregory M.
Abstract:: Analyzing systems during the conceptual stages of design for characteristics essential to the ease of fault diagnosis is important in today's mechanical systems because consumers and manufacturers are becoming increasingly concerned with cost incurred over the life cycle of the system. The increase in complexity of modem mechanical systems can...

A Permanent-Magnet Linear Generator Wave Energy Converter for Low Power Ocean Sensors

Creator:: Miles, Lillian F.
Abstract:: Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important due to their low environmental impact and limitless nature. This thesis explores the design of a 250 mW permanent magnet linear generator wave energy converter to power ocean sensors. While many wave energy converters exist, this is a unique application because the wave...

Mechanical Behavior of Elastomer Polymer under Shear and Compression: Experimental Investigation Using Digital Image Correlation

Creator:: Raheem, Hassan M.
Abstract:: Due to their viscoelastic properties, polymers and hydrogels are widely used in many applications. In this study, the viscoelastic properties of elastomer polymers were investigated for a series of hydrogel, hydrogel composites and silicon materials. A primary application for hydrogels and hydrogel composites is as a replacement for the degenerated...

Automated Design of Foam Packaging Shapes

Creator:: So, David M.
Abstract:: Creating effective packaging is about finding a balance between product protection during shipping and time consumption in the design process. Given time and cost constraints, it is hard to produce sufficiently protective padding while having it not be thicker than it needs to be. This thesis describes a method to...

Engineering design knowledge management and capture using a process overview document

Creator:: Zarins, Andis M.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to examine the possible impact of an engineering design and problem solving process overview document on knowledge management and capture. A process overview document was first created. Next, two multi-disciplinary design teams worked over a two-week span to develop concepts to address a problematic opportunity. One...
