Integrated topology optimization design and process planning for additive manufacturing
(2019-08-01)
Industry 4.0 demands that the systems and processes in today’s product design and manufacturing not just be automated, but to be robust and containing many feedback mechanisms which enables it to be self-correcting. The ...
Simulation of microgrid system and low-cost wireless communication network
(2019-08-01)
The MATLAB/SIMULINK model of a microgrid system is presented in this thesis. The microgrid consists of a converter-fed distributed generator photovoltaic array with maximum power point tracking, a converter-fed battery ...
Optimal structure and efficient algorithm for max-min fair multi-group multicast beamforming
(2019-09-01)
In this thesis, we consider the max-min fair (MMF) multi-group multicast beamforming design to maximize the minimum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) subject to transmit power limit. We obtain the optimal ...
Design and analysis of active aerodynamic control systems for increasing the safety of high-speed road vehicles
(2019-07-01)
The lateral stability and the safety of road vehicles is dependent on the vehicle design and operating conditions. Under operating conditions such as slippery roads, high lateral acceleration and tight cornering, the forces ...
Analytical modelling of annular flow magnetorheological valves for advanced fluid control
(2019-08-01)
Magnetorheological valves have the potential to disrupt the fluid control industry with their numerous advantages over mechanical valves. The current design and development process of these valves largely leverages computer ...
Design automation and QoS requirements preservation for multiprocessor embedded systems
(2019-07-01)
The number of processors is increasing in embedded systems but the usefulness of parallel computation is not better leveraged due to the inflexibility of design and implementation for multiprocessor embedded system ...
Design and development of a parallel Proof of Work for permissionless blockchain systems
(2019-04-01)
Blockchain, which is the underlying technology for the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, is a distributed ledger forming a decentralized consensus in a peer-to-peer network. A large number of the current cryptocurrencies use blockchain ...
Multimodal series elastic actuator for human-machine interaction with applications in robot-aided rehabilitation
(2019-11-01)
Series elastic actuators (SEAs) are becoming an elemental building block in collaborative robotic systems. They introduce an elastic element between the mechanical drive and the end-effector, making otherwise rigid structures ...
Customized topology optimization for additive manufacturing
(2019-08-01)
One of the biggest limitations of additive manufacturing (AM) is the resulting production times. Due to the layer-based method of material deposition, the time to produce a single part is substantial compared to techniques ...
Design and development of hydrophobic and protective polymer-based spray coatings for treating glass surfaces in building and automotive applications
(2019-08-01)
Glass surfaces in buildings and vehicles are susceptible to two common problems: unrestricted energy transmittance of light-waves resulting in increased HVAC costs, and reduced visibility as a consequence of wetting during ...
