0.1 Purpose of Report
During my time on this project, I have written two reports. My SAE22 ePowertrain report details last year's design, the design process, design changes, and manufacturing in extreme detail. The capstone course report will be useful for future students looking to educate themselves on everything that...
This thesis is an engineering report on the creep behavior of
power transmission line conductors. Laboratory creep test results
are reported for Pheasant, Narcissus and Chukar conductors.
The report follows a standard nomenclature and format suggested
by the International Study Committee No. 6 of Conference
Internationale des Grands Reseaux Electriques...
There are many situations in which contact between two
bodies is at a single point so there can be no tensile
(force). This form of contact only provides a single degree
of restraint, and is defined as a unidirectional point
contact. The analysis of Reuleaux shows that four suitably
placed...
This report presents a refined method for the calculation of fuel centerline temperatures and the linear-heat-rating-to-incipient melting, ' Q'[subscript m], of mixed-oxide fuel typical of that to be used in the Fast Flux Test Facility and in Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors. Of primary concern are the effects of the...
The fuzzy front end of engineering design can present a difficult challenge, and as such, recent engineering design research has focused on guiding and influencing the way a designer ideates. Early ideation can be especially difficult when attempting to integrate specific design objectives in product design, called Design for X...
A model was developed for the inventory control of the Volkswagen
spare parts distribution in Greece. The model utilizes the
capabilities of a digital computer, and features four systems, the
necessary system files and various routines.
Flexible statistical forecasting techniques are included for
forecasting the distributor parts demand. Computerized procedures...
This thesis reports on research conducted to determine
the information which should be included in a mechanical
design history. This is part of a larger research effort
aimed at developing a computer tool for storing and
replaying mechanical design history information. Three
question-asking protocols were conducted to determine what
information...
An experimental biomass combustion facility has been
built and established at Oregon State University. The
furnace, or Biomass Combustion Unit ( BCU ), uses an augertype
fuel feed system, grate-type fuel support with under
and over fire air supply.
Fourteen pellet species from five States - Alaska,
Washington, Oregon, Idaho,...
This thesis reports on an investigation of flow patterns in
shallow geothermal wells in Klamath Falls, Oregon, Although
wells have been extensively used in the area, the exact nature of
the flows in the wells has not been characterized.
Flow characterization is a principal object of this study.
Horizontal crossflows...
