  • Finding a Place for Wood in Non-Residential Design: LEED vs. Green Globes Certification

    Creator:
    Henderson, Jordan M.
    Abstract:
    For centuries wood has served as a primary structural building material in small dwelling, large communal structures, bridges, and temporary structures. Even today wood is the dominant material in residential construction. Despite this long standing use of wood, non-residential multi-story construction in light of the green building revolution has yet...

  • Mechanically Enhanced and Optically Compatible Hydrogels for Particle Image Velocimetry in Porous Flow

    Creator:
    Cornwell-Arquitt, Luke
    Abstract:
    Hydrogels have been attractive for use as a medium in porous flow studies, but have always been limited in this role because of their poor mechanical properties. This project analyzes and tests two recently developed hydrogels, poly(methacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (PMM), and a heat-treated long chain PVA hydrogel. Particle image velocimetry (PIV)...

  • Experimental Design Approach for Evaluation of Airfoil-Driven Energy Harvesting

    Creator:
    Strahl, Jordan D.
    Abstract:
    An experimental setup has been partially developed to investigate the impact of an actively controlled trailing edge component upon the energy harvesting performance of an oscillating airfoil in a pitching and heaving regime. While previous and current efforts have and continue to function to characterize the performance of such a...
