Adam Firestone
Lincoln, NE
Advisor: Dr. Janet Brelin-Fornari
Department:
Mechanical Engineering
Project Description:
Crash simulation of vehicle restraint systems using a deceleration sled. Anthropomorphic test devices are used to study the effectiveness of varying seat configurations and belt positions. The mechanical integrity of the restraint system during impact, as well as the effect of the system on the ATD, are being examined. |

Gladys Gabriela Morin
Caracus, Venezuela
Advisor: Dr. Gianfranco DiGiuseppe
Department:
Mechanical Engineering
Project Description:
Using computational and experimental tools to study and analyze the behavior of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells at high temperatures and under realistic operating conditions. Mathematical models are developed in order to predict the SOFC's electro-chemical performance. Several factors are included such as material, geometries and dimensions to determine how they affect the performance characteristics. |

Lapeer, MI
Advisor: Dr. Janet Brelin-Fornari
Department: Mechanical Engineering
Project Description:
NHTSA has been developing a side impact child seat safety requirement. The fixture under consideration uses a HYGE sled. Since most child seat manufacturers do not have a HYGE sled, I will show equivalent test data using a deceleration sled and fixture. |

Pankaj Vazirani
Mumbai, India
Advisor: Dr. Bassem Ramadan
Department: Mechanical Engineering
Project Description:
Quantifying and analyzing air flow in intake systems for internal combustion engines. Air flow motion such as swirl and tumble can influence fuel evaporation and mixing, especially in directly injected engines. This project will utilize CFD to analyze and quantify air flow properties to optimize the design of intake systems. |
