Development of H∞ control strategy for a multi-wheeled combat vehicle
(2016-08-01)
A vehicle dynamics controller for an 8 x 8 heavy combat vehicle utilising both torque vectoring and third and fourth axle steering is propoed. The control scheme is composed of two controllers: a feedforward zero side slip ...
Cooperative relay beamforming design for multi-cluster relay interference networks
(2016-08-01)
In this work, we consider a multi-cluster amplified-and-forward (AF) relay interference
network and design relay beam matrix for each cluster to maximize the minimum
signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) at ...
Design optimization of active trailer differential braking systems for car-trailer combinations
(2016-01-01)
The thesis studies active trailer differential braking (ATDB) systems to improve the lateral stability of car-trailer (CT) combinations. CT combinations exhibit unique unstable motion modes, including jack-knifing, trailer ...
Evaluation of the effects of molten CuCl on corrosion resistant coatings
(2016-12-01)
The world is facing energy crisis and pollution problems. Clean and renewable energy resources are gaining popularity day by day. Hydrogen is considered as clean energy carrier which is present in on earth in abundance ...
Optimal temperature range identification for a hydrogen production cycle using genetic algorithm-based Monte Carlo simulation method
(2016-08-01)
Nuclear-based hydrogen generation is accumulating more and more interest, both from academia and industry. In nuclear hydrogen production system based on 4-step Cu-Cl cycle, proper temperature inputs play an essential role ...
Design of a novel ferrite core based highly efficient wireless resonant inductive power transfer system
(2016-03-01)
Using ferrite magnetic cores improves the efficiency of IPT and magnetic resonance based IPT systems, and can reduce unwanted stray magnetic radiation in addition to improving coupling efficiency. Performance of different ...
Experimental and numerical studies of flows over forward facing steps in pressure gradients
(2016-04-01)
This thesis reports experimental and numerical studies of the effects of adverse pressure gradients (APG) and Reynolds numbers on flows over forward facing steps (FFS). For the experimental work, particle image velocimetry ...
Design and validation of high speed active trailer steering system for articulated heavy vehicle
(2016-01-01)
Articulated heavy duty vehicles are widely used around the world for its economic and environmental benefits. A-train double is one of the most popular heavy duty vehicles in Canada. Despite its advantages, the spread of ...
Sum-rate maximization for two-way active channel with unequal subchannel noise powers
(2016-06-01)
Wireless parallel channels refer to certain wireless links, where the information is conveyed from a source to a destination through a set of parallel orthogonal subchannels. In such channels, the transmitted signals undergo ...
Integration of microwave and millimeter wave bandpass filters with antennas
(2016-07-01)
Filters and antennas are essential elements in communication and radar systems. In a conventional design, antennas and filters are designed independently and then connected together through transitions and/or connectors, ...
