Development and characterization of electrically conductive thermoplastic based composite materials for fuel cell bipolar plates
(2022-08-01)
Thermoplastic composites exhibit multiple attractive attributes, such as lightweight, low cost, ease and speed of manufacturing, and ability to recycle, which make them ideal for a wide range of applications. Composites ...
Design and control of an active ankle-foot orthosis
(2022-04-01)
Active ankle-foot orthoses (AAFOs) assist a user unable to dorsiflex the ankle joint. The optimal AAFO is lightweight and aids the user in achieving a nominal gait.
This thesis presents the design and control of a novel ...
Modelling and prediction of tire-rim slip with finite element analysis
(2023-07-01)
In this thesis, tire-rim slip was simulated with a FEA model of a RHD truck tire. Multiple simulations were conducted to validate the model and investigate the effects of different parameters such as terrain type, tire-rim ...
Design and analysis of a sustainable energy system for a military base in the Canadian Arctic
(2023-08-01)
The purpose of this thesis was to propose and thermodynamically analyze a sustainable energy system for a military base in the Canadian Arctic for heating, electricity, farming, fresh water, hot water and waste management. ...
Modelling of radioactive particle resuspension after a dirty bomb event
(2023-12-01)
The primary hazard of a Dirty Bomb emanates not from the initial detonation but from the subsequent re-suspension of deposited radioactive particles. Although radiological contamination is substantial on surfaces initially, ...
Energy aware scheduling using reinforcement learning for 802.15.4e Time-Slotted Channel Hopping
(2023-11-01)
Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) is a medium access control mode defined in IEEE 802.15.4e standard. This protocol is a crucial component of fourth-generation IoT applications, enabling efficient communication through ...
Improving classification system to detect cyclic alternation pattern using sleep EEG
(2023-08-01)
Cyclic alternative patterns (CAP) became an important tool to diagnose sleep disorders. This study aims to have a better understanding of CAP, as the clinical applications remain limited as CAP analysis is a time-consuming ...
Characterization of flow control using programmable multi-directional plasma actuators
(2023-09-01)
This research explores the use of a novel plasma actuator geometry and electrical configuration to generate directionally programmable flow fields near the surface of arrays of such plasma actuators. Plasma actuators are ...
Development and validation of scaled electric combat vehicle virtual model
(2023-11-01)
This research focuses on an 8x8 scaled electric combat vehicle (SECV) and aims to create a virtual model made of the same vehicle on a vehicle dynamics simulation software using parameters from the actual vehicle. In the ...
