A reliability-aware framework for service-based software development
(2017-01-01)
It is becoming common to see software applications taking advantage of web services available publicly to meet their needs, rather than developing an in-house solution. This introduces the problem where failures can occur ...
Letters to a young engineer. Fourth edition, 2017
(University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2017)
Optimization of residential buildings and renewable energy integration in small island developing states: the Bahamas as a case study
(2017-08-01)
An optimization approach is used to assess the energy performance and design of residential homes in The Bahamas with the goal of providing objective data for policy makers to achieve the sustainability goals in the country. ...
Development of an autonomous radiation mapping robot
(2017-04-01)
The development of an autonomous robotic platform for generating radiation maps
is presented. An integrated autonomous exploration algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization
algorithm, and the ability to accurately localize ...
Development of multi-wheel drivetrain control system for future electric combat vehicle
(2017-04-01)
In modern times, electric vehicle and autonomous driving control technology have been rapidly evolving for use in civilian passenger vehicles. They bring forth many benefits in improved mobility, cost savings and life-preserving ...
Flow-sound interaction mechanism of a single spirally finned cylinder in cross-flow
(2017-01-01)
Over the years, some effort has been expended in the improvement of heat transfer performance in tubular heat exchangers. This can be achieved by adding different types of fins to the outer tube surface, effectively ...
Fault tolerant control of active trailer steering systems for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles
(2017-07-01)
Faults in a controlled plant often deteriorate the system performance. In severe cases, faults pose a risk of component damage, plant shutdown or even personnel safety. Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) aims at preventing the ...
Development and analysis of techniques to improve air-cooling and temperature uniformity in battery packs
(2017-08-01)
One of the challenges to the advancement of electric vehicles is the requirement of an effective
thermal management system to maintain the temperature, and temperature uniformity of the
battery pack and the cell within the ...
Design of active trailer steering systems for long combination vehicles using robust control techniques
(2017-07-01)
The exponential growth in freightage and the ever-increasing traffic congestion has aided Long Combination Vehicles (LCVs) to emerge as an economical and pragmatic solution for freight transport compared to single unit ...
Nonlinear vibration analysis of viscoelastic plates with fractional damping
(2017-06-01)
Fractional calculus has the history as long as the classical calculus, but up to recent years, less attention has been paid to this method due to its complexity and difficulties in dealing with fractional derivatives and ...
