A methodology for iterative design using physical test data

Creator:: Morris, Wesley T.
Abstract:: This thesis addresses a common knowledge gap that was identified amongst the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) competition design teams at Oregon State University. Students that join the SAE teams at Oregon State University typically do not have experience using physically collected data during a design process. This leads to...

Experimental Study of the Impact of Physical and Chemical Properties on Smoldering Combustion in Natural Fuels

Creator:: Smucker, Benjamin
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is difficult to extinguish, can transition to flaming combustion, and produces a significant amount of pollutants. It is necessary to understand parameters controlling smoldering in order to help predict the smoldering behavior and potentially mitigate these hazards. The wide variety of natural fuels that occur...

Data-Driven Numerical Modelling of an Oscillating Water Column from Physical Tank Testing Data

Creator:: McKee, Aisha I.
Abstract:: Wave Energy Converters (WEC) have great potential to help meet global energy demands, but even a single device can be challenging to model. Although most WEC concepts are modelled, many have been simplified with assumptions that do not accurately capture the true dynamics of the system. For this reason, data-driven...

The wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Lenee-Bluhm, Pukha
Abstract:: The substantial wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest (i.e. off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and N. California) is assessed and characterized. Archived spectral records from ten wave measurement buoys, operated and maintained by the National Data Buoy Center and the Coastal Data Information Program, form the basis...

Navigation and coordination of autonomous mobile robots with limited resources

Creator:: Knudson, Matthew D.
Abstract:: The use of autonomous robots in complex exploration tasks is rapidly increasing. Indeed, robots can provide speed and cost effectiveness in many tasks, as well as allow operation in environments that are hostile to humans. In this dissertation we: 1) provide two adaptive navigation algorithms; 2) develop a coordination mechanism;...

Theory and application of vector space similarity measures in computer assisted conceptual design

Creator:: Poppa, Kerry R.
Abstract:: A number of computational tools now exist to aid in developing conceptual solutions based on a functional description of a design problem. A key limitation of these tools is the way results are organized for presentation to the user. In general, results are an undifferentiated mass of potential solutions. Analysis...

Improving Water, Sanitation and Biogas Access in Resource-Stressed Environments : Methodologies and Case Study Analyses of the Primary Resources at Matema Beach High School

Creator:: Richardson, Megan M.
Abstract:: Education as a right has taken off internationally with expanded national policies in recent years. Across Africa over 80% of countries have abolished tuition fees for primary education and several have made the leap to free secondary education as well. With decreased financial barriers keeping kids out of the classroom,...

Microchannel extraction of Te⁴⁺ from a stream of CdTe via MIBK in supported liquid membrane

Creator:: Liburdy, Heather Johnson
Abstract:: A new technique is developed to recover elemental tellurium (Te) from cadmium telluride (CdTe) which is abundantly available in photovoltaic semiconductor waste. The method is based on microchannel fluid flow with the use of a supported liquid membrane (SLM) between the donor (feed) and acceptor (strip) channels. A predictive theoretical...

Characterizing Linkages Between the Climate, Cryosphere, and Impacts on Run-of-River Hydropower in Data-Sparse Mountain Environments

Creator:: Mosier, Thomas M.
Abstract:: In many regions of the world, a significant portion of the surface water originates in mountain headwaters where the timing and magnitude of streamflow is largely dictated by the seasonal storage of precipitation as snowpack and long-term storage as glaciers. Accumulation, persistence, and melt of snow and ice are functions...

Predicting deep water breaking wave severity

Creator:: Hovland, Justin
Abstract:: Ocean Wave Energy Converters (WECs) operating on the water surface are subject to storms and other extreme events. In particular, high and steep waves, especially breaking waves, are likely the most dangerous to WECs. A method for quantifying the breaking severity of waves is presented and applied to wave data...
