  • Tsunami Simulation Using OpenSees : Validation of Bridge Response and Exploration of Shallow Water Flow

    Creator:
    Cressman, Luke R.
    Abstract:
    The finite element software framework, OpenSees, has been used by researchers to simulate the response of structural and geotechnical systems to earthquake loading. Implementation of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) has made it possible to simulate hydrodynamic forces through fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in OpenSees. To validate the FSI implementation...

  • Agent-based Tsunami Evacuation Model : Life Safety and Network Resilience

    Creator:
    Mostafizi, Alireza
    Abstract:
    Natural disasters could result in unnecessary loss of life and disproportionate suffering to families and communities if evacuation plans are not in place or understood by the public. In the Pacific Northwest, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami from the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) represents one of the most pressing...

  • Tsunami inundation : estimating damage and predicting flow properties

    Creator:
    Wiebe, Dane Michael
    Abstract:
    The 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku tsunami events have shown the destructive power of tsunami inundation to the constructed environment in addition to the tragic loss of life. A comparable event is expected for the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) which will impact the west coast of North America. Research...

  • Large–Scale Laboratory Experiment and Numerical Simulation of Tsunami Forces on a Bridge Deck

    Creator:
    Xiang, Tao
    Abstract:
    The fluid impact forces on a bridge superstructure in horizontal and vertical directions due to tsunamis represented by solitary waves are investigated through a large-scale laboratory experiment and numerical simulations. The experiment is conducted in a two-dimensional wave basin using a 1:5 scaled reinforced concrete bridge deck model tested under...

  • Laboratory observations of tsunami runup on a complex 3D bathymetry using PIV

    Creator:
    Ichikawa, Shingo
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the details of a large-scale laboratory experiment to study the runup velocity on a complex 3D bathymetry. The PIV measurements including the instrumental setup, the recording procedure, and the image processing are presented. Tsunami inundation directly affects the coastal population and is one of the most important...

  • Modeling microarchitecture simulator using object-oriented approach

    Creator:
    Chan, Chung-lun
    Abstract:
    With the success of the CounterDataFlow Pipeline microarchitecture developed by Oregon State University, there is increasing demand for a highly flexible high-level simulator modeling tool to support the further expansions and studies of the Counterflow pipeline processors family. This work examines the implementation of a Java-based execution-driven simulator modeling tool,...

  • Performance and graphics enhancement of the LOGSIM mechanized log harvesting system simulator

    Creator:
    Moss, J. Alexander
    Abstract:
    The focus of this research concentrates on enhancement of the LOGSIM mechanized log harvesting system simulator. Enhancement of software focuses on overall improvement of the user environment as well as improvement of the performance and capabilities of the simulation package. An enhanced version of the front-end interface program is developed...

  • Initial spatial motion of a rigid body on removal of one constraint

    Creator:
    Batra, Ajoy
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a discussion of motion of a six-legged walking machine following removal of one leg constraint. To take a step, one leg must be lifted and placed at some other position. As soon as the constraint provided by the leg is removed, however the machine begins to fall....

  • Numerical simulation of pressing wood-fiber composites

    Creator:
    Haselein, Clovis R.
    Abstract:
    A model to simulate the dry-process pressing of wood composites is presented. The model uses as its starting point a pre-existing mass and heat transfer model. A number of furnish material properties, including fluid permeability, thermal conductivity, hygroscopicity and rheological parameters, are reviewed and modified for use in the pressing...
