  • Designing and creating the Oregon State age and disability simulation suit

    Creator:
    Rahrer, Adam P.
    Abstract:
    Over 54 million people report having disabilities in the United States. In addition, there are 40.3 million people 65 years and older living in America. As the population continues to live longer and problems with obesity continue to increase, the number of people with limited capabilities will escalate as well....

  • Ontologies to Support Repeatable and Valid Customer Requirements Generation

    Creator:
    Lemke, Mark T.
    Abstract:
    Due to the growing complexity, sophistication, and interconnectedness of present day engineered products and services, the use of ontologies in engineering design is becoming more widespread. An ontology provides a standardized way of describing concepts in a domain of interest and the relationships between these concepts to better understand the...

  • Data Mining a Design Repository for Automating and Validating Functional Modeling

    Creator:
    Mikes, Alex B.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this work is to build a foundation of understanding and methodologies as the steps toward automating functional modeling. We have achieved significant progress in the automatic generation of functional representations, which can be connected at the interface of components to create a functional model. This work highlights...

  • A Preliminary Methodology For Automating Functional Modeling

    Creator:
    Edmonds, Katherine N.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is the combination of two research publications working towards automating functional modeling. Functional modeling is an underutilized yet critical tool for concept generation and product design. Understanding the difficulty both novice and expert designers have in implementing functional modeling in their design process, this research sets out to...

  • Reverse engineering, modeling, and redesign of a vibratory conveyor

    Creator:
    Foglesong, Timothy J.
    Abstract:
    Some successful products are still developed and produced without the benefit of modern design techniques. One such product is a vibratory conveyor that has been developed largely through prototype iteration. The manufacturer has collaborated with Oregon State University to introduce model-based design into the development process. This research details a...

  • Characterization of expert solutions to inform instruction and assessment in an industrially situated process development task

    Creator:
    Sherrett, Ben U.
    Abstract:
    What constitutes a quality solution to an authentic task from industry? This study seeks to address this question through the examination of two expert solutions to an authentic engineering task used in the Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering curriculum at Oregon State University. The two solutions were generated by two...

  • Methodologies to improve reliability engineering in early design

    Creator:
    O'Halloran, Bryan M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is the summation of two publications with the motivation to move reliability analysis earlier in the design process. Current analyses aim to improve reliability after components have been selected. Moving specific analyses earlier in the design process reduces the cost to the designer. These early design analyses provide...

  • How personality affects creativity in concept ideation

    Creator:
    Berthelsdorf, Friederich A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis uses the manuscript option, and consists of a previously-published paper and a paper that has been accepted for publication. Manuscript One details an independent confirmatory study to Choo et al. (2014), which demonstrated that correlations exist between personality type and the outcome of concept ideation methods. This is...

  • Innovation strategies for product design

    Creator:
    Nix, Anthony A.
    Abstract:
    Innovation can be considered the driving force behind product design. This thesis strives to improve the ease at which innovation is achieved. Firstly by examining how design information is presented and comprehended by various personality types. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test is a quick, easy, and accurate way to determine...

  • Hamlet's delay : an attempt at synthesis

    Creator:
    Cohen, Martin, 1943-
    Abstract:
    The study of the question of why Shakespeare's Hamlet delays killing Claudius in revenge for his father's murder is examined in light of the major critical theories from neo-classical to modern scholarship. An expanded treatment of the works of Fredson Bowers, Eleanor Prosser, Bertram Joseph, and Roland Frye, is provided...
