Achilles Assistance Device as a Passive Ankle Foot Orthosis for Achilles Tendon Injuries

Creator:: Gonnerman, Evan J.
Abstract:: An Achilles tendon injury can be devastating. Surgical methods to bring the muscle to full strength are not always available. Proposed is an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) that is entirely passive (does not add energy to the system) and uses the mechanical advantages provided by the walking gait of a...

Characterization and Prediction of Reactive Forces for Compressed 3D Printed Hyperelastic Lattice Structures

Creator:: So, David M.
Abstract:: In order to generate practical ways to easily design functional flexible lattice structures, this research seeks to find a way to predict reactive forces of compressed hyperelastic cubic lattice structures. Using 3D printed test coupons, material data was collected for use in finite element analysis. Cubic lattice structures with varying...

Investigation of the effects of cryopreservation on cellular viability and mechanical integrity of the intervertebral disc

Creator:: Forcier, Ryan J.
Abstract:: Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is a phenomenon that has yet to be adequately addressed. Treatment options remain limited and incomplete. The ability to effectively cryopreserve IVDs would allow for better allograft transplantations and storage of samples for research purposes. This study aimed to assess how cryopreservation with different...

Post-Preservation Maintenance of Cadavers to Prevent Tissue-Dehydration in Educational Environments

Creator:: Herrera, Alexandria R.
Abstract:: In anatomical education, clinicians, surgeons, and anatomists support the use of human cadavers over digital or artificial alternatives. Cadaver use raises the challenge of preventing tissue dehydration. The OSU cadaver labs attempt to maintain hydration by re-covering the exposed tissues with original skin, layers of plastic wrap, and/or towels and...

Effects of nickel addition In Cu-Zr-Hf-Al metallic glass matrix

Creator:: Miska, John
Abstract:: Metallic glasses (also referred to as amorphous metals) have been gaining interest in the materials science community in recent years. These amorphous materials demonstrate promising properties compared to their crystalline counterparts that include much higher strength and elastic strain limit, better corrosion and wear resistance, superior soft magnetism, and an...

Design and Fabrication of a Public Locker for Non-Motorized Watercraft

Creator:: Cordisco, Jonathan
Abstract:: Visitors to waterways need a way to securely lock up their non-motorized watercrafts to allow for exploration of the local area and communities. The Willamette Water Trail Steering committee recognized this problem and approached the Oregon State University Prototype Development lab to develop and fabricate a solution. The engineering design...

Electrical Conductivity of Ceramic Material at High Temperature

Creator:: Kangsathein, Parm
Abstract:: The electrical conductivity data of ceramic material at high temperatures can be useful in the application of modeling, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD). The existing data is considerably lacking at extreme temperatures. Our research focuses on bridging this gap by reporting the electrical conductivity measurements of sets...

The Culture of Names – A Comparison between Vietnam and Denmark

Creator:: Ngo, Toan Tri Dung
Abstract:: This project discusses the topic of personal names and the cultures of different peoples and their particularities, specifically in Vietnam and Denmark. The first part of this paper gives a brief history of naming traditions (mostly relating to Western European traditions). The second part of the paper compares two families...

Embedding Adaptive Engineering Mechanisms into a Coupled Tendon Transfer Surgery for High Median-Ulnar Nerve Palsy: A Simulation Study with OpenSim

Creator:: Montgomery, Jade
Abstract:: The improvement of coupled tendon transfer surgeries through the insertion of an adaptive engineering mechanism was explored using biomechanical simulations performed in OpenSim. Tendon transfer surgeries are commonly performed on the upper extremity to restore hand function. A conventional 4-tailed tendon transfer procedure model and a modified 4-tailed procedure model...

Melee at the Edge of Empire: The Manifestation of the Reservation System in Southwest and Western Oregon 1850-1875

Creator:: Alves, Richard W.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to explain why the reservation system manifested so disappointingly for the Native American groups of Southwest Oregon. It seeks to characterize the struggle that raged in Southwest Oregon from 1850 to 1856 between three main groups there: indigenous peoples, white squatters and miners, and...
