Hitch Cart “Landing Gear”, Rebekah White, Jose Raygoza, Randy Hernandez, Brandon Leon
Mechanical Engineering
This report aims to allow our sponsor, to review our design process of the Hitch Cart Landing Gear Prototype. In the design overview section of this report, we discuss the primary design modifications we made to the wheel mechanism of the existing hitch cart prototype, including the addition of the ACME screws and the folding brackets. This allows our sponsor to see the intended improvements made to the past prototype and understand the primary goal of our project. Then, in the implementation section, we cover the entire manufacturing process to allow our sponsor to understand what manufacturing steps must be …
Rotordynamic Analysis Of Theoretical Models And Experimental Systems, Cameron R. Naugle
Rotordynamic Analysis Of Theoretical Models And Experimental Systems, Cameron R. Naugle
Master's Theses
This thesis is intended to provide fundamental information for the construction and
analysis of rotordynamic theoretical models, and their comparison the experimental
systems. Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to construct models using Timoshenko
beam elements with viscous and hysteretic internal damping. Eigenvalues
and eigenvectors of state space equations are used to perform stability analysis, produce
critical speed maps, and visualize mode shapes. Frequency domain analysis
of theoretical models is used to provide Bode diagrams and in experimental data
full spectrum cascade plots. Experimental and theoretical model analyses are used
to optimize the control algorithm for an Active Magnetic Bearing …

Experimental Building Demonstration Model With Viscous Fluid Dampers, Blake Thomas Reeve, Brianna Jean Kufa, Aden Malek Stepanians, Sophie Carmion Ratkovich
Architectural Engineering
The Architectural Engineering major places a heavy emphasis on structural dynamics and the role of wind and seismic loading in building analysis and design. Buildings of high importance that are critical to community function, such as hospitals, often utilize supplemental damping devices like supplemental viscous fluid dampers or base isolators to reduce the overall demands on the structural system. The design and analysis of these dampers are typically not taught at the undergraduate level, and is frequently performed by mechanical engineers, in lieu of structural engineers.
To better understand and research building behavior with supplemental damping devices, our multi-disciplinary team …

Lightweight Uav Launcher, Ben Miller, Christian Valoria, Corinne Warnock, Jake Coutlee
Mechanical Engineering
This report discusses the design, construction, and testing of a lightweight, portable UAV launcher. There is a current need for a small team of soldiers to launch a US Marine Tier II UAV in a remote location without transport. Research was conducted into existing UAV launcher designs and the pros and cons of each were recorded. This research served as a basis for concept generation during the initial design development stage. It was required that the design weigh less than 110 lbs, occupy a smaller volume than 48" x 24" 18" in its collapsed state, be portable by a single …
