The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
The purpose of this project is to create a simple method for viewing DICOM images taken during a medical scan such as CT or MRI. To perform this, Matlab programming was used to create a graphical user interface. This interface shows the user the image and attached information with subsequent images accessible via a slider bar. Furthermore, the user has the option to view a three-dimensional model of the object scanned which can then be rotated and viewed at multiple angles. This modeling was achieved using custom edge detection algorithms which locate and exclude exterior edges to allow viewing of …
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics To Predict Drag On A Boat Hull, John Howland, Zhaohui (George) Qin, Timothy B. Dewhurst
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics To Predict Drag On A Boat Hull, John Howland, Zhaohui (George) Qin, Timothy B. Dewhurst
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
For many years Cedarville University’s Solar Boat team has been designing and creating boat hulls. One of the key elements in designing a hull is to decrease the amount of drag or resistance the boat has when moving through the water. Previous mechanical engineering seniors at Cedarville University have attempted to use computational fluid dynamics or CFD to predict the drag on the Solar Boat hull with software called Fluent produced by Ansys. However, they have been unsuccessful due to the complexity when trying to model two phases of flow, e.g. air and water. The project however, was successful in …

Taper-Trunion Interface Stresses In Metal On Metal Hip Implants, Timothy L. Norman, Scott Gardner, Andrew Orton, Sharon Grafton, Thomas Fehring
Taper-Trunion Interface Stresses In Metal On Metal Hip Implants, Timothy L. Norman, Scott Gardner, Andrew Orton, Sharon Grafton, Thomas Fehring
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Metal on metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty describes a hip joint replacement where a metal (cobalt chromium) femoral head articulates against a metal socket. This implant scenario has generally been successful until recently when larger (> 36 mm) metal heads have become more popular as a means to reduce the incidence of hip joint dislocation. Today, the number of clinical failures (described by fretting corrosion and a need for revision surgery) of MoM total hip arthroplasty is occurring at unacceptable rates. The objective of our research was to investigate the effect of horizontal lever arm (HLA), a geometric variable that …

Interact With Speciknee: A Software Tool For Design Of Simple Four-Bar Prosthesic Knee Joints, Thomas J. Thompson, Erkai L. Watson
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
This poster and interactive demonstration presents an educational computer design tool which could enable prosthetists and mechanical designers to tailor the motion of low-cost, four-bar prosthetic knees to the sizes and needs of individual amputees. In designing a prosthetic knee joint, it is important to control the position of the lower leg in three angles of flexion and to control its center of rotation in the standing position. In 2010 [1] this problem was analyzed using vector methods, and an algorithm was written which produced curves displaying pivot locations which solve the problem exactly. Since then, a software tool called …
The Scholarly Role Of Faculty Advisors In Student Engineering Competition Projects, Gerald M. Brown, Timothy B. Dewhurst
The Scholarly Role Of Faculty Advisors In Student Engineering Competition Projects, Gerald M. Brown, Timothy B. Dewhurst
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Engineering faculty advisors at Cedarville University work closely with senior engineering students on the Solar Boat team to improve the boat’s performance each year and continue the team’s legacy of 7 wins in the last 10 years at the Solar Splash Competition. The faculty-student relationships are at times similar to that of a mentor and apprentice, and at other times similar to that of an engineering manager and a team of engineers. This mentor/manager approach allows us to maintain technical continuity from year to year between student teams, develop and maintain an increasingly sophisticated team knowledge base, coach the students …
