  • Using Digital Human Modeling to Evaluate and Improve Car Pillar Design: A Proof of Concept and Design of Experiments

    Creator:
    Mellon, Taylor R. P.
    Abstract:
    Considering human factors in early engineering design stages can improve expensive late stage processes, facilitate user safety, improve product quality and help reduce the need for physical prototyping. Currently, car pillar design (the vertical pillars between windows which connect the roof and car body) provide safety for the passengers in...

  • Integrative Review of Methods for Cognitive Debiasing and Applications in Design

    Creator:
    Han, Yu L.
    Abstract:
    Design is a process of decision making. Organizations that are dedicated to systematic support of the design process tend to have higher profit margins. Further, studies of system development have shown that early-stage design mistakes have a large impact on incurred costs. Therefore, it is critical to identify methods to...

  • Optimizing shared mooring and anchoring strength for floating offshore wind turbine arrays

    Creator:
    Devin, Michael C.
    Abstract:
    Energy from offshore wind could provide substantial power generation if further utilized. One area of significant research focus is in developing floating offshore wind devices, which would allow for wind energy to be gathered in deep water where driven monopile turbines are infeasible. However, floating offshore wind is not currently...

  • A Computational Framework for Resilience-Informed Design

    Creator:
    Hulse, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    It is desirable for complex engineered systems to perform missions efficiently and economically, even when these missions' complex, variable, long-term operational profiles make it likely for hazards to arise. It is thus important to design these systems to be resilient so that they will actively prevent and recover from hazards...

  • A Techno-Economic Assessment Methodology for Advanced Additive and Joining Processes

    Creator:
    Malshe, Harsha A.
    Abstract:
    Integrated manufacturing systems, a combination of subtractive, additive, and joining processes, provide a competitive advantage for manufacturing organizations. As product designs become more complex and capital more scarce, an ideal combination of advanced manufacturing technologies (e.g., powder bed fusion or friction welding), in tandem with traditional subtractive manufacturing systems, can...

  • Autonomous Decision Making Facing Uncertainty, Risk, and Complexity

    Creator:
    Short, Ada-Rhodes
    Abstract:
    The creation of autonomous decision makers to handle potentially hazardous or logistically complicated tasks is desirable for the purpose of reducing human labor and exposure to risk, and for increasing the general performance of autonomous systems in a wide variety of environments. However, traditional autonomous decision makers perform poorly when...

  • Monte Carlo Tree Search with Fixed and Adaptive Abstractions

    Creator:
    Hostetler, Jesse A.
    Abstract:
    Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) is a class of online planning algorithms for Markov decision processes (MDPs) and related models that has found success in challenging applications. In the online planning approach, the agent makes a decision in the current state by performing a limited forward search over possible futures...

  • Evaluating complex engineered systems using complex network representations

    Creator:
    Haley, Brandon M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is the combination of two research publications working toward a unified strategy in which to represent complex engineered systems as complex networks. Current engineered system modeling techniques segment large complex models into multiple groups to be simulated independently. These methods restrict the evaluations of such complex systems as...

  • A Free Running Lubrication Comparison of Commonly Used Bar and Chain Oil

    Creator:
    Orawiec, Alexander
    Abstract:
    Chain saws are a common tool used by large logging corporations and family homesteads to manage forests, limb trees and buck lumber. A significant cost of operation is the continuous required supply of bar and chain oil. Consumers and logging corporations desire a lubricant with a high performance to cost...

  • Design of Experiments to Support Automated Assembly Planning

    Creator:
    Liu, Yue
    Abstract:
    Assembly time estimation is a key factor in evaluating the performance of the assembly process in an automated assembly process. The overall goal of this study is to develop an efficient assembly time estimation method by generating the prediction model from an experimental design. In order to estimate these times,...
