  • Proof of Concept for a Three-Dimensional Molded Core Wood-Strand Sandwich Panel

    Creator:
    Way, Daniel
    Abstract:
    Sandwich composites are typically produced from two high strength facings bonded to a lower strength, lightweight core. Sandwich design has proven to be efficient for applications demanding high strength and low weight. Wood-based sandwich composites have been largely limited to non-structural applications with the exception of structural insulated panels and...

  • Composite Tools and Optimization in Racecars to Reduce Mass and Design Time

    Creator:
    Wagoner, Marshall
    Abstract:
    Designing a carbon fiber chassis for the Global Formula Race car has historically proven to be both time intensive and difficult. The goal of this thesis is to improve the design process for testing Global Formula Racing team's composite chassis sandwich panels. Consideration was taken regarding Formula SAE rules, and...

  • Polar analysis of beam-columns for aircraft

    Creator:
    Jones, Walter Richard
    Abstract:
    The analysis of a member carrying a combination of lateral and axial loads (a "beam-column") is a problem of frequent occurrence in aircraft structural design. This thesis presents the derivation and application of the Polar method, both analytical and graphical. The method was first suggested in Germany, several years later...

  • The theoretical design and construction of a .25 calibre automatic repeating rifle

    Creator:
    Winniford, John Franklin
    Abstract:
    In the construction of a rifle for sporting or target work there are several conditions to be met. In the first place the rifle must be made to balance easily.at all times, whether the magazine is full of loaded cartridges or is empty. In all cases the barrel of the...

  • A quantitative index for evaluation of plant layout alternatives

    Creator:
    Pond, James Woodrow Jr.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to develop a workable plant layout evaluation technique incorporating adequate definitive measures of intangible plant layout considerations. A summary and critique is given of existing evaluation methods. A quantitative evaluation index (QEI) is proposed to remedy the described deficiencies. The proposed index can be...

  • Trade-offs between geometric design standards and safety for low volume roads

    Creator:
    Kornsombut, Aram
    Abstract:
    Geometric design standards have not been developed specifically for low volume roads. Design standards and criteria are extrapolated from higher standard roadways that are often not relevant to low volume roads. Safety is a primary criterion used for selection of design standards along with economic, financial, social and environment factors....

  • Progress in the development of a portable phoswich-style skin contamination dosimeter

    Creator:
    Tang, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    The Code of Federal Regulations (10CFR20.1201) mandates occupational dose limits to the shallow, lens and deep tissue layers. The NRC-accepted procedure of estimating dose to these layers from contamination events is laborious. The current work aims to further the development of a portable phoswich-style skin dosimeter that will operate in...

  • Interlaced instruction window

    Creator:
    Ong, Wee-Shong
    Abstract:
    A relatively recent development in the late 1980s in processors has been the superscalar processor. Superscalar processors use multiple pipelines in an attempt to achieve higher performance than previous generations of processors. Having multiple pipelines makes it possible to execute more than one instruction per cycle. However, since instructions are...
