Theory and application of vector space similarity measures in computer assisted conceptual design

Creator:: Poppa, Kerry R.
Abstract:: A number of computational tools now exist to aid in developing conceptual solutions based on a functional description of a design problem. A key limitation of these tools is the way results are organized for presentation to the user. In general, results are an undifferentiated mass of potential solutions. Analysis...

Properties of veneer sliced from serpentine-end-matched flitches

Creator:: Liu, Yuqing
Abstract:: Eighteen Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl.ex.laws) veneer flitches were randomly selected and crosscut into paired flitches. Serpentine-end-matched (SEM) joints were machined in the flitches, joint amplitude equal to the width in one half of the paired flitch and joint amplitude equal to 2/3 width in the other half of the...

Design, modeling, and performance of miniature reciprocating thermocompressor

Creator:: Edwards, Michael J.
Abstract:: Research in the miniaturization of thermomechanical systems in recent years has proven to be both rewarding and challenging. Micro-scale devices have tremendous technological potential but come with a new set of design problems. One such problem is energy storage. Heat actuated systems, driven primarily by thermal energy, take advantage of...

Adaptive methods for robust commercial vehicle control

Creator:: Junell, Jaime L.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the implementation of learning based control with predictive cruise control and the potential this technology has for increasing fuel efficiency while keeping on a well maintained schedule for commercial trucks. Traditional cruise control is wasteful when maintaining a constant velocity over rolling hills. Predictive cruise control is...

Design analysis using function-based failure propagation in failed system states

Creator:: Jensen, David Charles
Abstract:: For safety critical complex systems, reliability and risk analysis are important design steps. Implementing these analyzes early in the design stage can reduce costs associated with redesign and provide important information on design viability. In the past several years, various research methods have been presented in the design community to...

Comparing and Contrasting the Merits of Additive Manufactured Electric Vehicle Suspension Components: GFR Case Study

Creator:: Peraza-Garcia, Jesus
Abstract:: This thesis compares the implementation of additive manufactured suspension uprights against subtractive manufactured suspension uprights from concept generation, design, and validation through simulation. Additive manufactured suspension uprights were designed for Global Formula Racing’s 2023 electric vehicle. Utilizing Siemens NX, Nastran, Fusion 360, and Ansys Workbench both subtractive and additive manufactured...

A methodology for iterative design using physical test data

Creator:: Morris, Wesley T.
Abstract:: This thesis addresses a common knowledge gap that was identified amongst the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) competition design teams at Oregon State University. Students that join the SAE teams at Oregon State University typically do not have experience using physically collected data during a design process. This leads to...

Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Array Economic Analysis and Preliminary Results of a Genetic Algorithm Approach Introducing Cost Factors

Creator:: Sharp, Christopher J.
Abstract:: With the need to integrate renewable energy sources into the current energy portfolio and the proximity of many population centers to an ocean coastline, it is pressing that marine energy systems, specifically wave energy converters (WECs), are evaluated as potential solutions for meeting energy needs. In order to best understand...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: years than I thought possible. I would like also like to thank Dr. Belinda Batten and Dr. Robert

Predicting Aerodynamic Loads on Highly Flexible Membrane Wings

Creator:: Carpenter, Trenton James
Abstract:: Through passive adaptation to incidental flow, flexible aerodynamic surfaces exploit effects of increased lift, delayed stall and disturbance rejection. Wings of birds, bats, and insects exhibit these passive effects, and at the same time through the use of structural state feedback sensed from the loads on the wing, active control...

Examination of lateral stiffness and strength of pitched residential roof diaphragms with implications for seismic design.

Creator:: Kirkham, William J.
Abstract:: There are about 80 million single-family dwellings (SFD) in the United States, predominantly of wood-frame construction. Of these, 68% are owner occupied. A home is typically the largest single investment of a family, and is often not covered by earthquake insurance, even where it is available. Of all SFD in...
