Senior Design104Locomotive Sanding ContainerLevel Sensing105Nexteer Rack BearingImprovement106Mobile Wellness SystemsLED display shield on Arduino platformAdams View computer model for NexteerAutomotive.The team with units made for the van—shelvingsystem, table, generator rack, and moreTeam MembersAndrew Ranta, Justin Breeland, Jacob Glair, KellenMurray, and Meng Yang, Electrical Engineering; JeffLanglois, Computer EngineeringAdvisorDuane BuchegerSponsorUnion PacificProject OverviewUnder conditions requiring improved acceleration,locomotives use compressed air to spray sand infront of the drive wheels. Such systems are referredto as “sanders” by the industry and are mandatedby federal regulation. The sand is stored onboardthe locomotive in tanks or sand boxes, and refillingthese tanks is performed at a rail yard via a sandingtower. Our team will be implementing a remotesensingsystem to detect sand levels in each of thesanding containers on the GE AC4400 locomotive.The data will be displayed to allow for quick andsafe assessment of sand levels.Team MembersStewart Eddy, Chadwick Kern, Shawn Lesko, andMatthew Verbiscus, Mechanical EngineeringAdvisorsCharles Van Karsen and Gordon ParkerSponsorNexteer AutomotiveProject OverviewThe specific causes of a steering column rattle areunknown, so Nexteer needs an inexpensive way tolocate and eliminate any rattle within the system.We have been tasked to create an analytical modeland design a prototype of a conventional rack-andpinionpower-steering system. We will constructa computer model to locate the rattle and thenvalidate the results of the model by constructing aprototype.Team MembersBrian Wilterink, Steve Elsesser, and Jeff Kaindl,Mechanical Engineering TechnologyAdvisorNick HendricksonSponsorArcelorMittalProject OverviewThe main focus of this project is to provide mobilediagnostic tools to local doctors in Ghana. Mostvillages in Ghana have extremely limited accessto medical facilities in cities because of a lack ofadequate infrastructure. The clinics that do exist inthese small villages have limited treatment abilities.Many ailments contracted by Ghanaians could bediagnosed, or even treated, but village doctorscannot provide adequate care. The mobile clinicwill bring basic health care services to remoteGhanaian villages.Senior Design 2013 • 7

The UAV should be easy to use, stable,and safe so that new students and researcherscould operate the device. The UAV will be used asadditional learning material for several classes.Team MembersPeter Enz, Bryan Turner, Ben Wittbrodt, andMatthew Wong, Materials Science and EngineeringAdvisorCalvin WhiteSponsorJohn Shingledecker, Electric Power ResearchInstituteProject OverviewNimonic-263 is a commercial nickel-based alloythat is gamma-prime (γ’), age-hardenable, and usedin advanced ultra-supercritical steam boilers andturbines. Much research has been done for alloys,however, there is a need for alloys that can retainstrength at temperatures above 750°C where theγ’ precipitates will coarsen and dissolve. The eta(η) phase has higher stability than γ’ above 750°Cand has been proposed as a strengthening phaseat temperatures above those where coarsening ofγ’ will occur. The scope of this proposal is to designan alloy compositionally similar to Nimonic-263 thatcontains higher amounts of η above 800°C.Team MembersThomas Schmidt, Eric Lindholm, Katherine Schattl,Caleb Carlson, and Andy Wybo, MechanicalEngineeringAdvisorCharles Van KarsenSponsorChryslerProject OverviewStudents must design, engineer, build, and test anew lightweight swing gate for 25 percent massreduction and insertion into the current JeepWrangler.
