Shocks and Awe : Damping Selection in Racecars to Maximize Grip

Creator:: Takaro, Trevor M. F.
Abstract:: This thesis covers the use of a quarter car model to select damping rates for aFormula Student (FS) car, focusing on minimizing vertical tire force variation to improvegrip. A 2 degree of freedom (DOF) quarter car model is cycled over the road frequenciesof interest and the results compared with the...

Bacteria die-off in stream sediments

Creator:: Sherer, Brett Micheal
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact sediment has on the survival of bacteria in a typical rangeland stream. This information is an important component in determining a time integrated prediction of bacterial numbers in the stream sediment and overlying water. Bacterial survival in stream is a...

Influence of canopy orientation on fruiting of 'Ànjou' pears and postharvest urea spray on ovule longevity and fruit set of 'C̀omice' pears

Creator:: Khemira, Habib
Abstract:: The effect of canopy orientation on fruiting performance of 'Beurre d'Anjou' pears (Pyrus communis L.) and postharvest urea spray on ovule longevity and fruit set of 'Doyenne du Comice' pears were studied. Hedgerows of 'Beurre d'Anjou' pear trees planted in 1969 in two orientations north-south (N-S) and east-west (E-W) were...

Practical application of steady-state 6-DoF aerodynamic model for vehicle system loads analysis

Creator:: Torris, Connor J.
Abstract:: This work develops the Global Formula Racing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in StarCCM+ to allow for vehicle attitude studies to be ran to evaluate Formula Student (FS) vehicle aerodynamic loads. Attitudes that this model allows to be studied include roll, pitch, yaw, heave, tire angle, and vehicle speed. The...

The effects of radiolysis and hydrolysis on the stability of extraction systems for minor actinides

Creator:: Wade, Emily C.
Abstract:: Industrial reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel (INF) is one of the most complex procedures performed on a large scale; the process is intricate due to the mix of radionuclides present in INF. As a global trend for nuclear power and reprocessing continues, research is geared toward optimizing the extraction of...

A force plate for measuring contact forces during dependent transfers onboard aircraft

Creator:: Schafer, Christopher A.
Abstract:: The transfer of air travelers with disabilities between a mobility aid and an aircraft seat is a major source of injury for both the travelers and the airline personnel assisting in the transfer. The risk to both parties might be reduced through the biomechanical study of the transfer task. Such...

Factors affecting grades of transfer students in engineering

Creator:: Gluth, Harold Clarence
Abstract:: The problem of dropouts in engineering schools is an important one. This study examined the factors which affect dropouts in schools of engineering. Do these factors operate differently for students who do all their work at one institution than they do for students who transfer into the school of engineering...

Effects of water stress on phenology, physiology, and morphology of containerized Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii (mirb.) Franco) seedlings

Creator:: Khan, Shafiqur Rehman
Abstract:: Approximately 3-4 month-old containerized Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings (seed zone 262 and 271) were subjected to 6 moisture stress treatments (65, 53, 41, 29, 17 and 7% soil water content by volume of dry soil) starting July 4 to September 22, 1991 at Forest Research Laboratory's greenhouse at...

An investigation into the role of spatial variability on liquefaction consequence severity

Creator:: Cary, John R.
Abstract:: During the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) in Christchurch, NZ, an estimated $15B in damages occurred due to liquefaction-induced phenomena, illustrating the importance of understanding site-specific responses to seismic ground motions, as well the importance of accurately predicting liquefaction severity. One potential method for improving the understanding of how a site...

Behavior of a 1/6th scale, two-story, wood framed residential structure under surge wave loading

Creator:: Wilson, Jebediah
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of surge wave loading on wood framed residential structures for a variety of building configurations and test conditions. The objectives of the study were: (1) to measure forces on a 1/6th scale wood framed residential structure, (2)...
