Front underride protection devices: methods for design and testing
(2014-04-01)
Improvements to highway safety are in continual demand. One of the most severe instances of vehicle collision occurs as a result of vehicle weight and sizing mismatch. The fitment of Front Underride Protection Devices ...
Design and implementation process for controls integration using CAN bus on a full function electric vehicle conversion
(2014-03-01)
From the electrical engineering perspective, this thesis addresses the design and
implementation of the conversion process from a hybrid electric to a full function electric
vehicle (FFEV). The architecture selection process ...
Micro-differential evolution: diversity enhancement and comparative study.
(2014-08-01)
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs), such as the differential evolution (DE) algorithm, suffer
from high computational time due to large population size and nature of evaluation, to
mention two major reasons. The micro-EAs employ ...
Nonlinear vibration and chaotic motion of uniform and non-uniform carbon nanotube resonators.
(2014-07-01)
Vibration analysis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is very essential field owing to
their many promising applications in tiny instruments. The unique and interesting
properties of CNTs, particularly their mechanical and electrical ...
Comparative study of ammonia-based clean rail transportation systems for Greater Toronto area
(2014-04-01)
Ammonia as a transportation fuel offers a carbon-free, hydrogen rich energy source
