Race Car Reverse Gear Design
This thesis presents the design, simulation, and installation of a reverse gear system for the RUSH SR, a lightweight, motorcycle-engine-powered race car that lacks built-in reverse capability. The proposed solution repurposes a high-torque automotive starter motor to drive the car in reverse …

Design of nylon-carbon fiber composite gears
… science have changed fundamental limitations of designs and have allowed designers to redesign components to improve performance characteristics. This work applies traditional gearing standards from the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) to a nylon-carbon composite material for the …

Vibration Based Planetary Gear Analysis and Damage Detection
… were considering the possibility of simulation gears with rigid bodies. After researches with different emphasizes on the rigid body simulation, the gained knowledge showed limitations of the rigid body model. Gear failures are very diverse and the actual simulation technique could not represent …

Novel design and geometry for mechanical gearing
… stress state occurring in a pair of loaded spur gears and aims to further research the effect of tooth profile modifications on the mechanical performance of a mating gear pair. The investigation is then extended to epicyclic transmissions as they are considered the most viable solution when the …

Fused filament fabrication to manufacture three- and four-dimensional objects made of shape memory polymers
… that qualify as functional base materials to design programmable materials. SMPs can retain an imposed, temporary shape after thermomechanical treatment, also called programming. The initial, permanent shape can be recovered when applying an external stimulus like heat. In the last decade, …

Design of actuation system and minimization of sensor configuration for gait event detection for Gen 3.0 Portable Powered Ankle-Foot Orthosis (PPAFO)
… of the PPAFO were previously developed. Both designs used two different off-the-shelf rotary actuators. This thesis consists of two studies focusing on the development of a new compact higher torque actuation system and the identification of a minimum sensor configuration for gait event …
