Uncertainty quantification for safety verification applications in nuclear power plants
(2016-11-01)
There is an increasing interest in computational reactor safety analysis to systematically replace the conservative calculations by best estimate calculations augmented by quantitative uncertainty analysis methods. This ...
Analytical modeling and simulation of metal cutting forces for engineering alloys
(2012-04-01)
In the current research, an analytical chip formation model and the methodology to determine material flow data have been developed. The efforts have been made to address work hardening and thermal softening effects and ...
Design synthesis of articulated heavy vehicles with active trailer steering systems
(2010-04-01)
A new design synthesis method for articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) with an active trailer steering (ATS) system is examined and evaluated. Due to their heavy weights, large sizes, and complex configurations, AHVs have ...
Colour mismatch in compounding of plastics: processing issues and rheological effects
(2015-01-01)
Demand for plastic products is continuously growing with population increase and higher living standards. Imparting colours to plastics is a combination of art and science and plays a key role in production of attractive ...
Development, analysis and performance assessment of net zero energy house systems.
(2014-08-01)
Net zero energy buildings have captured the attention of many researchers and governments due to high energy consumption by traditional buildings. The design stage of a net zero energy house is the most crucial and cost ...
Thermal sustainability of low-temperature geothermal energy systems: System interactions and environmental impacts.
(2013-10-01)
In storing heat during summer for use in winter, the ground provides a better source/sink
of heat than the outside air in regards to heat pump efficiency, being cooler than the outside air in the summer and warmer in the ...
Advances in parallel robotics for flexible and reconfigurable manufacturing
(2014-04-01)
Parallel robotic manipulators are a specific type of robot that has multiple
limbs which are ultimately connected to a moving body. Within
this regime, there are several sub-classes of robots characterized by
certain ...
System integration and optimization of copper-chlorine thermochemical cycle with various options for hydrogen production
(2013-08-01)
The Copper-Chlorine (Cu-Cl) thermochemical water splitting cycle is one of the most attractive alternative thermochemical cycles for clean hydrogen production due to its lower temperature requirement and better overall ...
Distributed policy-based management framework for wireless sensor networks.
(2014-06-01)
Policy-Based Management Systems (PBMS) are becoming a critical component of any information technology environment, due to their ability to abstract hardware complexity from their users. Policy-based systems exist in such ...
Asynchronous bi-directional relay-assisted communication networks
(2014-02-01)
We consider an asynchronous bi-directional relay network, consisting of two singleantenna
transceivers and multiple single-antenna relays, where the transceiver-relay
paths are subject to different relaying and/or ...
