Title: Analysis and Optimization for Humane trap Design
Authors: Yi, Young-Joon
Advisor: Newcombe, W. R.
Department: Mechanical Engineering
Keywords: Mechanical Engineering;Mechanical Engineering
Publication Date: Apr-1974
Abstract: <p>The stirrup type spring that is used in the Conibear series of trans was analyzed and new springs for this type of trap were designed utilizing the non-linear optimization technique.</p> <p>The Jacob trap concert combined with the concept of a swinging interior mechanism for animal control was developed and optimized and four prototypes were manufactured and evaluated.</p> <p>Analytical methods for predicting the theoretical energy of closing Conibear and Jacob trans at various jaw openings were developed.</p>
