Safety Considerations For The Design Of Modern Elevator Systems, Abhijaya Shrestha
Safety Considerations For The Design Of Modern Elevator Systems, Abhijaya Shrestha
Honors Theses
The main purpose of this work is to perform an analysis on elevator safety considerations in the United States. This report introduces the development of elevators through its history, definitions and commonly used concepts in the elevator industry. Elevators are already an important part of day-to-day life for thousands of people and have significant role to play in the future of urbanization due to increasing population density and decreasing real estate. Elevators not only make vertical transportation convenient, but also play an important role in providing accessibility for people with disabilities; so, its safe and reliable operation is very crucial. …
Advanced Design And Manufacturing Of Composite High-Powered Rockets, Matthew Whitfield
Advanced Design And Manufacturing Of Composite High-Powered Rockets, Matthew Whitfield
Honors Theses
This thesis covers aspects related to the design and manufacturing of high-powered composite competition rockets. Research related to the project was performed over the course of three years of participation on the University of Mississippi Rocket Rebels competition team. Areas of the project covered include project definition, rocket design, and rocket manufacturing. Project definition covers how to build a team, select a competition, and establish communication, among others. The rocket design portion discusses the work that goes into meeting competition performance requirements, and includes simulations from the 2018-19 Rocket Rebels rocket. The rocket manufacturing portion includes a summary of manufacturing …
Case Study: Applying Lean Manufacturing Principles To The Prep Process Of The Hurricane Island Outward Bound School, Ben Branson
Case Study: Applying Lean Manufacturing Principles To The Prep Process Of The Hurricane Island Outward Bound School, Ben Branson
Honors Theses
This study synthesizes the author's area of education and occupational passions by applying lean manufacturing principles such as those of the Toyota Production System to the course preparation process at the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School. Over four weeks in the summer of 2017, the initial conditions were monitored and changes were implemented in both the layout of the base and the process itself, specifically the logistics portions. At the end of the season, the effectiveness of these changes were evaluated through a staff survey and comparison of evidence gathered during the summer. The time needed for prep logistics was …
A Study Of The Product Development Process For The Stackable Shelf, Stool, And Table, Harleigh Elizabeth Huggins
A Study Of The Product Development Process For The Stackable Shelf, Stool, And Table, Harleigh Elizabeth Huggins
Honors Theses
The purpose of this project was to create a viable furniture product by utilizing the various phases of the product development process. The project began in Phase 0 with market research, formulation of an initial idea, and a product pitch to an executive board to check the viability of the idea. Then, the idea was developed into a concept with Phase 1 by finalizing an initial concept and looking into the potential customer. Next, the product concept was prototyped through several iterations of trial and error in Phase 2. By Phase 3, the product design was finalized, and an initial …
Dynamic Testing Of Bovine Cortical Bone, Kenton Wong
Dynamic Testing Of Bovine Cortical Bone, Kenton Wong
Honors Theses
Bone is the primary structural element of mammalian animals. It plays a critical role in support, strength, and resilience, and has been the subject of many investigations into its material properties. The high strain rate behavior of bone has remained relatively unexplored, however, and its properties under dynamic loads perpendicular to the diaphysis of the bone are somewhat poorly understood. Bone is an anisotropic material and displays different properties depending on its orientation during testing. It is known that bone is weaker under a compressive load in the transverse direction, but the relationship has not been tested at high strain …
Supersonic Combustion Ramjet: Analysis On Fuel Options, Stephanie Barone
Supersonic Combustion Ramjet: Analysis On Fuel Options, Stephanie Barone
Honors Theses
This report focuses on different fuel options available to use for scramjet engines. The advantages and disadvantages of JP-7, JP-8, and hydrogen fuels are covered, also the effectiveness and requirements for each fuel are discussed. The recent history of the scramjet engine is included as well as its advantages and disadvantages. An explanation of what each fuel option encompasses and engineering analysis for each fuel are shown. The equations presented for the parametric analysis are shown as functions of the freestream Mach number, with the combustion Mach number as a parameter. The results can be seen for the theoretical possibilities …
A Feasibility Report On Rooftop Photovoltaic Solar Arrays At The University Of Mississippi, Anne Marie Delee
A Feasibility Report On Rooftop Photovoltaic Solar Arrays At The University Of Mississippi, Anne Marie Delee
Honors Theses
The following project is a feasibility report for rooftop photovoltaic (PV) solar panel installations on select building across the University of Mississippi's campus. The purpose of this report is to determine the value of the energy that a rooftop solar system is capable of producing and the effect this generated energy will have on the energy needs of the building. As an entity with a stated commitment to sustainability and good stewardship of its resources, the University of Mississippi is on its way to become the state's leader in sustainability, boasting the state's largest roof-mount solar system. The analysis utilizes …
Evaluation Of The Use Of High Frequency Acoustic Cavitation To Improve Water Quality In Commercial Catfish Operations, Bennett Elizabeth Barr
Evaluation Of The Use Of High Frequency Acoustic Cavitation To Improve Water Quality In Commercial Catfish Operations, Bennett Elizabeth Barr
Honors Theses
Catfish processing plants must chill the water used for their fillet wash and flush and refill their piping systems frequently, requiring a pause in operations until the piping flush is complete. There is a need for a (preferably non-chemical) solution that enables the plants to chill the water less and flush their systems less often to mitigate high energy and water consumption. High amplitude acoustic waves (sonication) were introduced into water samples from catfish ponds to determine if they could be used as a replacement for chemical treatments to improve the water quality in the plant piping systems. Preliminary tests …
We All Go Home! The Evolution Of Firefighter Accountability Systems, Jeremy Roy
We All Go Home! The Evolution Of Firefighter Accountability Systems, Jeremy Roy
Honors Theses
Accountability is arguably the single most important tool that a fire department has at its disposal. Although accountability systems have been used throughout history, one thing is proven: when there is no accountability system in place, it is only a matter of time before firefighters will get injured, or worse, lose their lives. This work will discuss the history of fire department methodology dealing with the creation of incident management accountability systems. In order to provide historical evidence that lack of an accountability system can cause injury or death, case studies of multiple fire departments that have reported line of …

An Environmentally-Friendly Design To Reduce Energy Loss By Heat Transfer Through Windows, Andrew Li
An Environmentally-Friendly Design To Reduce Energy Loss By Heat Transfer Through Windows, Andrew Li
Honors Theses
With windows as main areas of energy loss in residential environments, a market exists for a product to act a removable barrier which improves heat transfer for cases of extreme temperatures in seasonal weather. Such a product would allow consumers to save money in the long run without permanently losing the use of their windows when the weather is mild and such an apparatus is not needed. This project designs such a product using an assembly of polished aluminum foil for low radiation emissivity, ABS plastic for an insulating material with low conductivity, and an aluminum glass mirror pane which …
