Advanced propulsion systems for linear motion with high performance requirements

Creator:: Zhou, Xiaolin
Abstract:: Traditionally linear actuator applications are addressed by the use of hydraulic systems. The high maintenance cost and poor reliability will always be the most critical problem in the real applications. Benefited from both the high mechanical advantage of the roll screw and the simple structure of the switched reluctance motor,...

New configurations for RF/microwave bandstop and lowpass filters

Creator:: Peddibhotla, Harish V.
Abstract:: This thesis presents new, compact configurations for RF/microwave bandstop and lowpass filters for embedded passive applications. A simple design methodology is presented for designing the folded-transmission line filters on a microstrip platform. Unlike the conventional stub-loaded filter designs, the proposed folded-line filters will have practical dimensions for a wide range...

Metallic nanoscale conductors

Creator:: Nebergall, Nathan Sky
Abstract:: A new, reproducible method of using electromigration to form metallic nano-conductors is developed using gold and a tin-silver alloy. Measurements revealed a quantization of the electrical conductance consistent with the theory of quantum conductance. The theory of quantum conductance is applied to show that a nano-conductor with a cross-section of...

Brake-based wheel speed control design of a rear wheel open differential vehicle

Creator:: Jeon, Eli
Abstract:: A brake-based wheel speed control system for a rear-wheel drive vehicle is developed and simulated in this thesis. The OSU mini-Baja vehicle team will use this study in the development and implementation of a similar system for upcoming competitions. Vehicle submittals must differ to a specified degree from previous year’s...

Design considerations for a miniature atmospheric engine with a magnet-actuated autonomously-reciprocating in-cylinder regenerator for portable power production

Creator:: Yarger, David J.
Abstract:: Driven by the need for high energy-density power sources, demand has stimulated the development of small-scale engines. A small-scale engine with a fuel supply could replace batteries and utilize higher energy-density liquid hydrocarbon fuels; such an advance could deliver a new age of portable devices. Currently, operable small-scale engines exist;...

A linear test bed for characterizing the performance of ocean wave energy converters

Creator:: Hogan, Peter M.
Abstract:: Determining the performance characteristics of various ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) has proven to be difficult due to problems replicating a baseline motion profile in the ocean or wave tank to compare these devices. The linear test bed seeks to mechanically simulate the relative linear motion between the active components...
