  • Physical Modeling of Progressive Damage and Failure of Wood-Frame Coastal Residential Structures Due to Waves and Surge Forces

    Creator:
    Duncan, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    A physical model study was performed to examine the forces and response of 1:6 scale wood-frame coastal residential structures subjected to storm surge and waves. An on-grade and an elevated specimen were tested and exposed to regular waves with varying water depths and wave heights to simulate Hurricane Sandy’s conditions....

  • Power Cycle Selection and Optimization for a Small Modular Reactor

    Creator:
    Kissick, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    As a way to improve safety and economics, one area of research and commercialization of new nuclear power plants has focused on the development of small modular reactors (SMRs). NuScale Power has developed a 50 MWe natural convection cooling SMR coupled with a regenerative Rankine cycle. Current estimates place the...

  • Triple GPS Localization

    Creator:
    Mayes, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to increase the positional accuracy of Global Position System (GPS) modules using an artificial intelligence algorithm. Three basic and identical GPS modules were setup in an equilateral triangle formation with side lengths of one meter. The triangle was placed in four separate locations where...

  • The effects of community composition, landscape structure, and climate on host-pathogen interactions

    Creator:
    Moore, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    Like other species interactions in ecological systems, host-pathogen interactions are influenced by environmental factors, landscape characteristics and the broader community context. My thesis explores the potential influences of food-web interactions (Chapter 2), climate change (Chapter 3), landscape structure and host movement patterns (Chapter 4), and the combined influences of local...

  • Crown structure, stand dynamics, and production ecology of two species mixtures in the central Oregon Cascades

    Creator:
    Garber, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of stand structure, stand dynamics, and production ecology of species mixtures lags well behind that of single-species, even-aged stands. Two mixed-species spacing trials in central Oregon allowed investigation of mixed-species dynamics in a controlled experimental setting. The first site, Pringle Butte, is a mixture of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa...
