Exploring the relationship between engineering design project characteristics and risk indicators

Creator:: Yim, Rachel L.
Abstract:: Engineering design projects are implemented to accomplish a variety of goals in organizations. As the complexity of each project grows, the risk and uncertainty accompanying each project increases as well. As a result project managers must identify potential risks to projects and create plans to avoid realized risks leading to...

Investigating physical drivers of phytoplankton bloom initiation in the Northern Gulf of Alaska

Creator:: Ballantine, Kaleigh
Abstract:: The spring bloom is a key oceanic phenomenon in the Northern Gulf of Alaska (NGA), where it supports the regional ecosystem, fisheries, and CO2 sequestration. Despite its significance, mechanisms that trigger NGA blooms are still debated, largely due to a lack of sufficient data from late winter through spring. New...

Microbial Abundance and Community Analysis in Devil’s Hole, Harrington Sound, Bermuda

Creator:: Denman, Carmen C.
Abstract:: Microbial activity within elevated CO2 and oxygen depleted environments changes with density driven stratification overturn in the seasonally anoxic region of Devil’s Hole, Bermuda. The temperature gradient developed during the summer months creates a natural laboratory to study bacterial and virus population density and microbial community dynamics in the anoxic...

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...

Hydrodynamic contact/impact modeling and application to ocean engineering problems

Creator:: Challa, Ravi
Abstract:: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a very interesting and challenging multi-disciplinary field involving interaction of a movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. FSI has several practical engineering applications such as the determination of the hydrodynamic forces on a structure or the dynamics of motion of bodies...

Contact and impact dynamic modeling capabilities of LS-DYNA for fluid-structure interaction problems

Creator:: Challa, Ravi
Abstract:: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a very interesting and challenging multi-disciplinary field involving interaction of a movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. FSI plays a pivotal role in many different types of real-world situations and practical engineering applications involving large structural deformation and material or geometric...

Mooring analysis of the Ocean Sentinel through field observation and numerical simulation

Creator:: Baker, Joshua L.
Abstract:: This study presents a mooring analysis of the Ocean Sentinel buoy, which is a mobile test platform for Wave Energy Converters. The Ocean Sentinel is owned and operated by the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC) at Oregon State University (OSU). The study involved a field observation as well...

Organizational factors in the reliability assessment of offshore systems

Creator:: Biondi, Esteban L.
Abstract:: The reliability of ocean systems is dependent on organizational factors. It has been shown that low probability / high consequence system failures are overwhelmingly induced by organizational factors. However, no methodology is yet widely accepted for the evaluation of this phenomenon or its accurate quantification. A qualitative complementary approach is...

Weighing the Benefits of Returning Fire to the Landscape: Strategic Fire Management Workloads

Creator:: Goodwin, Ian
Abstract:: The accumulation of fuels in fire prone landscapes, and changing climatic conditions, have resulted in increasingly volatile fire behaviors. As a result, social and operational risk, management expenditures, and budgetary requirements for responsible agencies are increasing. The United States Forest Service (USFS) manages 193 million acres across the United States...
