The application of centrifugal modeling to determine ice forces on isolated circular structures

Creator:: Clough, Herbert F.
Abstract:: A test system was developed and used to investigate ice/structure interaction with centrifugal modeling. The test system was designed to perform two main functions: (1) create a uniform ice sheet, and (2) drive a model structure through the ice sheet at a constant speed. Both of these functions were required...

Development of a posture prediction model

Creator:: Dendamrongvit, Thidarat
Abstract:: Biomechanical models have been used in designing human work environments to evaluate potential risks to workers before a work environment is constructed. In order for work environments to be modeled correctly, most biomechanical models require as input, an accurate body posture of the worker. This information can be obtained by,...

Numerical simulations of nonlinear baroclinic instability with a spherical wave-mean flow model

Creator:: Wang, Chunzai
Abstract:: A global, multi-level, wave-mean flow model based on an approximate version of the primitive equations is developed to investigate the development of a baroclinic wave field initially confined to a single zonal wavenumber. The effects of physical processes (surface drag and thermal damping) and internal diffusion on the evolution have...

Development of an ACIP pile-specific load-displacement model

Creator:: Adami, Nasim
Abstract:: Augered cast-in-place piles, also known as ACIP piles, have been used for more than seven decades in the United States and have gained in popularity due to their relatively quick installation and cost-effectiveness. Owing to the reduced impact on the neighboring environment as compared to some other deep foundation installation...

The violin's sound : a mathematical exploration employing principles of continuum mechanics and numerical methods

Creator:: Gyde, Nina J.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the vibrational behavior of the main components of sound production in the violin using a continuum mechanics approach. The author provides a mathematical description of the regions in the vibrating continuum, and begins to develop a system of equations governing their behavior, focusing on the air in...

Modeling Arctic melt ponds using a resolved ice model with GCM forcing

Creator:: Collins, Lee E.
Abstract:: The albedo of Arctic sea ice depends greatly on the formation of melt ponds. These ponds form in depressions on the ice as surface snow melts during the summer months, and their location is determined mainly by the initial snow topography. Using a high resolution sea ice model forced with...

Simulations of geckos dry adhesion system

Creator:: Hu, Congcong
Abstract:: Simulation models were developed to explore the reversible nature of gecko dry adhesion system. The central idea of this model is that even with a small moment imparted on the contact tip, the seta can be easily ad-adhered. It is shown that this contact condition is very sensitive, but can...

Evaluation of Abaqus for simulating quasi-static Mode III shear of edge notched carbon fiber reinforced polymer panels

Creator:: Hyder, Imran
Abstract:: The ability to engineer stiffness and strength in any desired direction make composites an ideal material candidate for various applications when compared to their traditional isotropic counterparts. In spite of this, the ability to model the material response in composites has yet to be fully explored. Composite research largely focuses...

An experimental study and a three-dimensional numerical wave basin model of solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder

Creator:: Zhang, Wenbin
Abstract:: An experiment on solitary wave impact on a vertical cylinder was conducted in the three-dimensional wave basin at the Oregon State University Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. The cylinder was designed using mechanic principles and finite element analysis techniques to enable accurate measurement of horizontal force and overturning moment. Video data...
