Modeling and multi-objective optimization of a photovoltaic-thermal based multigeneration system
(2015-01-01)
In this thesis, a novel multi generation integrated system is introduced, analyzed and optimized. It consists of GaAs based PV (Photo-Voltaic) arrays connected in series. Light is being concentrated on those arrays using ...
Adaptive IEEE 802.15.4e LLDN scheduler for wireless network control systems
(2015-12-01)
An active area of research in the automotive research community is the stability of
Long Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) using active trailer steering and/or braking. These
LCVs rely on sensor data located across different ...
Key performance indicators modeling for optimized microgrid configuration
(2015-11-01)
Distribution system is so vulnerable to failures. These failures can be the result of natural or manmade threats. Blackouts are one of the distribution systems failures. Many people can be affected by blackouts. Therefore, ...
Design and simulation of MEMS-based insulin micro-pump with integrated micro-needle array
(2015-11-01)
One of the most effective treatments for diabetes type 1 and 2 is the administering Insulin. Single needle mechanical insulin pumps are heavy and painful. A generation of micro-needle-based MEMS-based drug delivery devices ...
Design and optimization of a compliant parallel robotic surgical instrument with multifunctional forceps for minimally invasive surgery
(2015-11-01)
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) technique has seen its great success in the last few decades due to its significant advantages compared to the traditional open surgeries. This technique requires only a few 10 mm incisions ...
User-centric analytics for expert crowds
(2015-09-01)
Pervasiveness and permissiveness of social media made content verification an integral part of any analysis involving online generated data. The most natural and convenient way to assess content trustworthiness and validity ...
Development of novel energy systems for LNG locomotives
(2015-04-01)
The use of diesel in the railway sector brings challenges to the engineers to meet the current emissions standards set by governments. This thesis addresses potential solutions to overcome the emissions problems in the ...
Development and optimization of a wide base FEA truck tire model for prediction of tire-road interactions
(2015-04-01)
The most important aspect of any land-type vehicle is the efficiency in which it can translate
energy from an engine, motor, or external source to the ground in an effort to move.
Currently, the most efficient way to do ...
Integration of deviation zone evaluation and point measurement planning in coordinate metrology
(2015-03-01)
Reliable inspection of a manufactured part with coordinate Metrology demands excessive time to provide higher accuracy. The uncertainty of inspection highly depends on the number and location of points acquired during the ...
Jointly optimal pre- and post-channel equalization and distributed beamforming in asynchronous bi-directional relay networks
(2015-09-01)
We consider an asynchronous two-way relay network, consisting of two transceivers and multiple relays, where due to the propagation delays of different transceiver-relay paths being different, inter-symbol- interference ...
