Extension of early stage failure analysis tools to Prognostics Health Management design

Creator:: Kramer, Scott
Abstract:: Modern complex mechanical systems have evolved to a point of incredible complexity. Many now operate with significant assistance from automated response functions, and some operate without human operators at all. These increasingly complex systems have also become more expensive and more ambitions in mission, bringing about higher risk to both...

A study of thermal stratification in the cold legs during the subcooled blowdown phase of a loss of coolant accident in the OSU APEX Thermal Hydraulic Testing Facility

Creator:: Wachs, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The phenomena of interest in this work is the thermal stratification which occurs during the early stages of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in the OSU APEX Thermal Hydraulic Test Facility, which is a scaled model of the Westinghouse AP600 nuclear power plant. Thermal stratification has been linked to...

Assessment of the LSAMP Program at Oregon State University

Creator:: Duvall, Andrew Kenichi
Abstract:: The population of minority groups is on the rise in the US, yet still minorities are not proportionally represented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Of these minorities there are 4 races/ethnicities that are vastly under represented: Blacks, Hispanics, American Indians/Native Alaskans, and Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders. For the US to...

Student Club Analysis: The Effects of Organizational Structuring on Competition Performance

Creator:: Chandler, Jacob J.
Abstract:: This thesis aims to explore the effects of organizational and management principles within the context of a student club – an international Formula Student team. Research on the effects of organizational structuring on student club performance tends to be qualitative in nature. While considering the inherent complexity of the human...

An Information Modeling Framework for Support of Sustainable Manufacturing System Design Decision Making

Creator:: Shankar Raman, Arvind
Abstract:: Manufacturing technology has continuously evolved and advanced over the past century; this has led to an increase in the production of consumer and industrial goods driven by simultaneous growth in population and wealth. Despite the resulting economic and labor growth, environmental impacts of manufacturing have increased dramatically due to the...

Methodologies to improve reliability engineering in early design

Creator:: O'Halloran, Bryan M.
Abstract:: This thesis is the summation of two publications with the motivation to move reliability analysis earlier in the design process. Current analyses aim to improve reliability after components have been selected. Moving specific analyses earlier in the design process reduces the cost to the designer. These early design analyses provide...

A Conceptual Design Tool for High-performance Wave Energy Converters for Blue Economy Applications

Creator:: Roach, Aeron L.
Abstract:: Much like wind energy in its early years, marine energy has vast potential, and wave energy converter (WEC) concepts are constantly in development. Consequently, wave energy faces many challenges for expansion and has a wide-ranging design space of WEC concepts. The large design space demands new methods for understanding the...

CLEAN learning to improve coordination and scalability in multiagent systems

Creator:: HolmesParker, Chris
Abstract:: Recent advances in multiagent learning have led to exciting new capabilities spanning fields as diverse as planetary exploration, air traffic control, military reconnaissance, and airport security. Such algorithms provide a tangible benefit over traditional control algorithms in that they allow fast responses, adapt to dynamic environments, and generally scale well....

Applying hierarchical and adaptive control to coordinating simple robots

Creator:: Knudson, Matthew D.
Abstract:: Coordinating multiple robots to achieve a complex task requires solving two distinct control problems: the high-level control problem of ensuring that each robot aims to perform a useful task (e.g., coordination) and the low-level control problem of ensuring that each robot actually performs the correct actions to achieve its task...

Design, Manufacture, and Validation of the Formula Student Pedal Assembly

Creator:: Swearingen, Colton
Abstract:: Formula Student challenges collegiate teams around the world to compete against one another in global racing competitions. Global Formula Racing (GFR) is a collaboration between Oregon State University and German at Duale Hochshule Baden- Wurttemberg Ravensburg students to build a racecar. The task assigned was to create a pedal assembly...
