Michael Andrus, Department of Mechanical Engineering Introduction My intent in applying for the grant from the BYU Office of Research and Creative Activities was to obtain financial help to design and build a jogging stroller that could easily convert to a bicycle trailer. Currently, there are a variety of bicycle trailers and jogging strollers on […]

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXTENDED SHEATH FLOW NOZZLE FOR SUPERCRITICAL FLUID/SUPERSONIC JET SPECTROSCOPY
Eric Sevy, Chemistry Introduction Supercritical fluid chromatography coupled with supersonic jet spectroscopy has been shown to be an effective analytical technique in the analysis of complex samples. This highly selective technique derives its power from the combination of a powerful separation technique and an discriminating spectroscopic identification technique. Using them in tandem an investigator can […]
CREATION OF AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL IN PORTUGUESE TO TEACH PRINCIPLES OF COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN
Richard Kendall, Marriott School of Management The financial support awarded to me helped contribute to one of the greatest experiences of my life. My main goal for my project was to effectively help an architectural company by teaching them the techniques of computer-aided design (CAD). During winter semester of 1994, I studied CAD extensively and […]
Synthesis of Systematically Varied Nucleosides as a Logical Approach Toward Inhibitor Design for Nucleoside Transport Proteins
Lars P.C. Nielsen and Dr. Morris J. Robins, Chemistry and Biochemistry Glucose transporter proteins constitute one class of transmembrane integral proteins that have received much attention in the current chemical literature. Many prominent groups have set out to explore their mechanisms, kinetics, and active sites. Studies have focussed on one of these in particular, Human […]
Human-Robot Interface Design
Jacob W. Crandall and Dr. Michael A. Goodrich, Computer Science Over the last few years, there have been vast advancements in robot technology. These advancements have made robots more powerful. However, because of robot limitations, many interesting tasks will probably include humans and robots cooperating to achieve a shared goal. Lessons from process automation indicate […]
Costume Designs for the Play “Plea”
Merrilee Allred and Professor Richard Hull, Visual Arts What seems to ever plague humanity throughout the ages is the plight of man – the classic search of self and truth. It seems that every one of us must go through this individually, manifest in several different ways and at different times. What remains the same […]
Unity IV: Fuselage Body Design, Analysis, Testing, and Construction
Alexis J. Pabst and Dr. Paul Eastman, Mechanical Engineering Introduction The Unity IV rocket is a twenty-foot tall rocket with a 16.5-inch diameter. It is a super-sonic, hybrid rocket that uses a solid propellant and liquid oxidizer. The rocket has been designed and built by students from three Utah universities. It is intended to take […]
Use of Linear Analysis of Microstructures in Defining Performance Closures for Highly Constrained Mechanical Design
Mark Lyon and Dr. Brent L. Adams, Mechanical Engineering Using methods described by Adams1, the design of a compliant beam was modeled in a multidimensional Fourier design space. A compliant beam is one that achieves motion through bending. The motivation for the problem was a bicycle derailleur. A compliant beam could replace the entire rear […]
Design of Equipment to Test Compliant Centrifugal Clutches
Nathan B. Crane and Dr. Larry L. Howell, Mechanical Engineering A compliant mechanism is a mechanism in which some or all motion comes from deflection of its members. Several years ago, a one piece centrifugal clutch based on a compliant mechanism was developed and implemented in several products. It offers many cost and assembly advantages […]
Anthropometrics of the Hand for Use in Ergonomic Design
Nathaniel Hanson and Dr. Richard Fry, Industrial Design Industrial designers must balance a wide array of factors in their creation of useful products. The most important of these factors include functionality, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as market factors such as cost. Over the course of the last century, designers and design engineers have been […]
