Wave Energy From Idea, to Concept, to Converter: Structuring Methods for Design and Evaluation of Wave Energy Devices

Creator:: Trueworthy, Ali May
Abstract:: The amount of energy we use and the ways that we get that energy sit on the edge of dramatic change as the carbon budget which can keep the planet under 1.5C of global average temperature increase gets smaller (Allen, 2018). In response, we continue to research and develop renewable...

Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Array Economic Analysis and Preliminary Results of a Genetic Algorithm Approach Introducing Cost Factors

Creator:: Sharp, Christopher J.
Abstract:: With the need to integrate renewable energy sources into the current energy portfolio and the proximity of many population centers to an ocean coastline, it is pressing that marine energy systems, specifically wave energy converters (WECs), are evaluated as potential solutions for meeting energy needs. In order to best understand...

Water treatment technologies for the developing world

Creator:: Burleson, Grace Ellen
Abstract:: The intent of this report is to provide a brief description of water quality issues in Nicaragua, Uganda and Bangladesh, and the technologies available to address these issues. The water quality parameters considered include: bacterial contamination, heavy metals and arsenic, pesticides and industrious chemicals, turbidity, radiological characteristics, and taste and...

Vehicle dynamic validation and analysis from suspension forces

Creator:: Murray, William S.
Abstract:: Several standardized courses for Formula SAE (FSAE) testing are introduced and described with sufficient detail to be reproduced by any Formula SAE team. Basic analysis methods for the courses are given as well as explanations of how those analyses could be used. On-car data from the Global Formula Racing (GFR)...

Utilizing emergent web-based software tools as an effective method for increasing collaboration and knowledge sharing in collocated student design teams

Creator:: Koch, Michael D.
Abstract:: Over the last few decades, the methods and tools through which humans collaborate, share knowledge and generally communicate have been advancing at a rapid pace. Thanks mostly to advances in broadband internet, cheap data storage and fast microprocessors, humans now have the ability to work together in ways that even...

Understanding Designer Mental Models to Support Computer Directed Analogical Design

Creator:: Arlitt, Ryan M.
Abstract:: Analysis of alternative concepts has a significant impact on design project outcomes, and yet many design teams fail to consider a significantly broad range of conceptual solutions. Within the realm of conceptual design exists a technique called design by analogy (DBA) -- the practice of reapplying old solutions to new...

Traveling to Africa: An Orientation

Creator:: Converse, Bradley R.
Abstract:: After traveling to Africa and experiencing the struggles and confusion of interacting with a new culture, I saw the need for some sort of orientation device that would adequately prepare first timers, but also not be too lengthy and daunting for a person that will only be spending a few...

Towards reliable and survivable ocean wave energy converters

Creator:: Brown, Adam C.
Abstract:: Ocean wave energy is a new and developing field of renewable energy with great potential. The energy contained in one meter of an average wave off the coast of Newport Oregon could supply dozens of homes with electricity. However, ocean waves are usually quite irregular which leads to large bursts...

Towards a guided framework for innovative engineering through the generation and evaluation stages of concept design

Creator:: Oman, Sarah Kay
Abstract:: This work proposes a framework of concept generation and evaluation that takes into consideration the benefit of creativity and innovation in current market trends. By educating engineers in how to increase creativity in concept design and assess it quantitatively, the next generation of designers will be a step ahead of...

Thermally actuated pumping of a single-phase fluid using surface asymmetry

Creator:: Jo, Myeong Chan
Abstract:: An experimental study of thermally actuated pumping of a single-phase, single-component fluid is presented in the context of thermal management of a heat source. The prominent feature of this pumping method is that the very heat that is to be removed from the heat source causes a net fluid motion....
