Development of a posture prediction model

Creator:: Dendamrongvit, Thidarat
Abstract:: Biomechanical models have been used in designing human work environments to evaluate potential risks to workers before a work environment is constructed. In order for work environments to be modeled correctly, most biomechanical models require as input, an accurate body posture of the worker. This information can be obtained by,...

The effects of ocean variability and breaking waves on wave energy converter reliability and survivability

Creator:: Brown, Adam
Abstract:: The reliability and survivability of a wave energy converter (WEC) is highly dependent on the variability and non-linearity of the ocean itself. Ocean variability occurs on many time scales. Climate variability occurs decade-to-decade, and year-to-year in the number and intensity of winter storms. Seasonal variation of wave height and period...

Application of sandwich structure analysis in predicting critical flow velocity for a laminated flat plate

Creator:: Jensen, Philip
Abstract:: The Oregon State University (OSU), Hydro Mechanical Fuel test Facility (HMFTF) is designed to hydro-mechanically test prototypical plate type fuel. OSU's fuel test program is a part of the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI), formerly known as the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactor program. One of the GTRI's...

Environmental durability of reinforced concrete deck girders strengthened with surface-bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer

Creator:: Sopal, Gautam Jayant
Abstract:: Long-term durability of surface-bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge members remains uncertain due to the limited field experience with these materials. This paper provides experimental results from the testing of full-scale RC bridge girder specimens after exposure to prolonged environmental exposure and combined...

Modeling of Wave Energy Converter via Instantaneous Frequency

Creator:: Kim, Inyong
Abstract:: A multidisciplinary perspective is necessitated for the analysis of wave energy conversion systems, spanning hydrodynamics, mechanics, electric power, and control systems. The complexity inherent in these scientific domains poses challenges for unified analysis. This paper addresses these challenges by connecting various domains through the application of circuit theory, characterizing the...

Radiation effects in compound semiconductor heterostructure devices

Creator:: Sarkar, Aveek, 1974-
Abstract:: Radiation studies were performed on compound semiconductor heterostructure devices. The objective was to understand the degradation processes caused by the exposure of these devices to radiation. Preliminary experiments were focussed on studying the degradation phenomenon in single heterojunctions and single quantum wells. It was found that ionizing radiation like gamma...

Influence of macro-roughness on tsunami runup & forces

Creator:: Bridges, Kerri-Jane
Abstract:: This thesis is comprised of a manuscript based on a laboratory experiment run in the Tsunami Wave Basin as part of a research project funded by the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation called Housesmash. The purpose of the experiment was to better understand the role of the urban environment, represented...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

A practical approach to model the behavior of a metal-plate-connected wood truss system

Creator:: Li, Zhong
Abstract:: Metal-plate-connected (MPC) trusses have traditionally been designed based on a tributary load distribution and a simplified truss model. This design method ignores the load-sharing and composite action in MPC roof truss systems, the semi-rigidity of MPC joints, and joint eccentricity. The main objective of this study was to provide a...

A Beta-Gamma Radioxenon Detection System using Ultra-Bright Inorganic Scintillators and Solid State Detectors

Creator:: Czyz, Steven A.
Abstract:: The atmospheric detection of four radioxenon isotopes (131mXe, 133mXe, 133Xe, and 135Xe) released during a nuclear detonation is a key tool utilized by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) to identify clandestine nuclear weapon testing activity. These radioxenon isotopes all decay via the near-simultaneous release of an electron and a...
