Numerical Analysis of Experimental Impacts on Wind Turbine Blades

Creator:: Fleiger-Holmes, Kahlan
Abstract:: Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable forms of energy in the United States and the world. However, interactions between wind turbines and wildlife have the possibility to injure animals such as birds and bats. Strategies to assess and minimize wind turbine interactions with wildlife are critical for...

Event detection for avian and bat wildlife on wind turbine blades

Creator:: Drachnik, Nicholas
Abstract:: Countries have begun to adopt green energy initiatives requiring high percentages of power generation to come from clean energy sources. Both onshore and offshore wind energy generates reliable clean energy. Due to this, wind energy has had an exponential growth in global adoption. While wind energy is increasingly adopted by...

Data Mining a Design Repository for Automating and Validating Functional Modeling

Creator:: Mikes, Alex B.
Abstract:: The purpose of this work is to build a foundation of understanding and methodologies as the steps toward automating functional modeling. We have achieved significant progress in the automatic generation of functional representations, which can be connected at the interface of components to create a functional model. This work highlights...

Modeling hop kilning with respect to energy consumption and drying kinetics

Creator:: Thomas, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Currently, little work has been performed studying energy consumption in hop kilning. This thesis explores drying with an alternative drying schedule that extends the initially elevated drying temperature currently used by growers and examines its impact on drying time and energy use. Extending the time of the initially elevated drying...

The Influence of Fuel Characteristics on Smoldering Behavior through Porous Fuels

Creator:: Ross, Andrew H.
Abstract:: Smoldering can play a dangerous role in the ignition and spread of wildfires. Naturally occurring fuels consist of multiple layers of organic materials with varying particle sizes due to differences in decomposition stages with fuel depth, yet the influence of particle size on burning behavior is poorly understood. Previous research...

Effect of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Parameters and Hot Isostatic Pressing on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of C22 Alloy

Creator:: Yan, Dongqing
Abstract:: A nickel-based Hastelloy C22 powder with a nominal composition of Ni-21.30Cr-13.36Mo-1.92Co-2.94W-3.85Fe-0.23Mn-0.3V(wt%) and particle size distribution of D₁₀=23.8±0.3 μm, D₅₀=37.5±0.2μm, and D₉₀=59.3±1.1 μm was gas atomized to be used as a feedstock in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). In this study, laser power and scanning speed were optimized to manufacture specimens...

Exploration of the Integration of Markerless Motion Capture and Virtual Reality for Ergonomics Assessment of Products in Early Design

Creator:: Zhang, Jianfu
Abstract:: This thesis uses the manuscript option. The First Manuscript proposed a markerless Motion Capture (MOCAP) system with a Virtual Reality (VR) setup, which has the potential to eliminate excess cost and time associated with physical prototyping. Validation of the proposed virtual ergonomics analysis was made by measuring L4/L5 compression forces....

Analysis of the Effects of Combustion Products on Forced Ignition and Turbulent Flame Propagation

Creator:: Bonebrake, Jonathan M.
Abstract:: Practical combustion devices frequently rely upon forced ignition of turbulent fuel/oxidizer mixtures that also contain the product species of combustion. Examples of this include engines that use exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), inter-turbine burners in aircraft engines, and other systems the utilize staged combustion. In this work, the effects of major...

Smooth Trajectory Generation for Machine Tools and Industrial Robots

Creator:: Tajima, Shingo
Abstract:: This thesis presents accurate and time-optimal smooth reference trajectory generation techniques for manufacturing equipment such as high-speed machine tools (MT) and industrial robots (IR). Typical machining tool-paths for MTs and IRs are defined as a series of discrete linear moves. Although Point-to-Point (P2P) feed motion can be generated by interpolating...

Automated Assembly Planning : From CAD Model to Virtual Assembly Process

Creator:: Rafibakhsh, Nima
Abstract:: Assembly planning is a crucial task for every manufacturing product. In general, assembly operations consume more than 30% of the total manufacturing time and cost. Therefore, any effort in optimizing assembly will have a significant impact on the economic success of manufacturing. Finding an optimal assembly plan by hand is...
