The design must allow for all current printing capabilities to be maintained as well as allowing for various incline and raster angles. Oak Ridge National Laboratory Manufacturing Demonstration Facilityĭevelop and test a new roller or tamper design to allow for out of plane printing on the Big Area Additive Manufacturing System.
Large Scale Additive Manufacturing Out of Plane Printing Matthew Johnsen, Christian Patterson, James Lewis, and Ryan Watson The device uses compressed air to propel a mixture of water and biochar into the ground to induce fracturing of the soil.ĭepartment of Biosystems Engineering & Soil Sciences The device must be capable of breaking the humerus, tibia, ribs, and skull.Ĭarter Breeding, Daelyn Greene, Nicholas Poker, Ryan Smith, and Zachary Zieglerĭepartment of Biosystems Engineering and Soil Scienceĭevelop a device that increases infiltration through compacted soils, such as those found in failed rain gardens or recent construction sites. Samuel Wilkinson, William Doktycz, Steven Jennings, and Jehova Arzolaĭevelop a device to impart blunt force trauma on human cadavers for use with research being done by the Department of Anthropology. This includes the capability to reduce the particle size to 14 mesh and to process additional types of plastic. Pierce Anderson, Alexander Brockob, Colby Gilbert, Michael Hadley, Scott Malone, Andrew Patchen, and Andrew Shahanĭevelop a lab scale recycling process to increase efficiency of in-house plastic recycling. Additionally, signs of slope slip is evident and warrant evaluation of the existing site for potential instability. Design effort entails full structural evaluation of the deck, evaluation of the connected roof, and foundation evaluation.
Megan Pitz, Katherine Stiles, Kayla Franklin, Simran Dayal, and Austin BullockĮngineering services are required to ensure adequate structural capacity of an existing wooden deck considerate of occupancy and use changes occurring at the existing structure. Device must be suitable for use in operating rooms and be easy for nurses to use during and after surgeries. Evaluating existing rail line and identify station locations along the intended route.Įmily Egan, Austin Hunt, and Jonathan Morseĭesign a device that can remove bioburden (blood, tissue, and bone fragments) from orthopedic tools before it dries. Jakob Thaler, Jonathan Wing, Makayla Hyde, and Nikolai Regenoldĭevelop a light rail system connecting Knox and Blount County. A collaborative effort between the Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Departments Accomplished through simulation in OLIFlowsheet and research into similar processes. State of Art Process for Production of ThO2 from Monaziteĭesigning an industrial scale and economically feasible process to extract thorium and other rare earths from Monazite sands. The superstructure of the current bridge is also not built to any current codes and is in need of redesign.ĭepartment of Civil & Environmental EngineeringĬharlie Boss, Alex Stanley, David Abston, and Kevin White
The abutments of the current bridge are in poor condition and subject to sever scour which raises safety concerns from the owner. Stephanie Kiriazes, Margaret Brewer, Zachary Rhodes, Collin Bible, and Liam Flahertyĭesign a single lane vehicle bridge to replace an old bridge that poses safety hazards. Robert Nickel, Daniel Allen, Spencer Mapes, Ryan Tosh, Nicholas Crowder, and Peter Tarleĭepartment of Mechanical, Aerospace, & Biomedical Engineering The rocket must carry an 8.8 pound scientific payload of the team's choosing to an altitude of 30,000 feet and will be flown at Spaceport America in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, at the end of June. Our team is tasked with designing, building, and flying a reusable sounding rocket propelled by an experimental hybrid rocket motor.
The Spaceport America Cup is the world's largest collegiate rocket engineering competition, with teams participating from countries all around the world. Mechanical, Aerospace, & Biomedical Engineeringīrenten Arnold, Erin Brown, Keona Madison, David Mejia Fernandez, Tim Raab, Seth Rogers, and Lorenzo Ceppari The product will have tangible applications in developing countries, industrial complexes, on-campus use, and recreational use. Partner with the Fiber and Composites Manufacturing Facility to generate ideas and design, develop, and construct a bicycle primarily using bamboo fibers.
