Practical Application of the Finite Element Method for Vehicle System Loads Analysis

Creator:: Weitzman, Paul M.
Abstract:: This work develops the loads, boundary conditions, and model construction techniques used to create a high-level vehicle analysis model. The loads are derived from the overall performance parameters of the vehicle, which include 3 axis accelerations and aerodynamic forces from Computational Fluid Dynamics outputs. The boundary condition of the analysis...

The effect of chronic exposure of chinook salmon to benzo(a)pyrene and cortisol of CYP1A1 induction and susceptibility to a microsporidian parasite, Loma salmonae

Creator:: Marie, Amarisa
Abstract:: Wild populations of fish are faced with a multitude of stressors, which may include human interaction, toxins, and disease. Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a known carcinogen and immunotoxin, has been reported in the stomach contents of juvenile chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, in urban waterways. We investigated the impact of chronic dietary exposure...

Optimization & Qualification of a Liquid Engine Launch Vehicle Design Using 6DoF Simulations

Creator:: Rose, Trevor J.
Abstract:: In this work, I developed a six degree of freedom flight simulator specific to liquid engine launch vehicles. This flight simulator improves upon available software by accounting for liquid engine specific phenomena such as tank pressurization, liquid engine performance, and center of gravity modeling. Additionally, I implemented methods for optimization...
