Development of thermoplastic foams with heterogeneous cellular structures for acoustic applications
(2016-08-01)
Manufacture of heterogeneous thermoplastic foams is of great interest to damp low frequency noise in transportation and building industries. Most of the fabrication methods reported either use cumbersome batch processes ...
Design and implementation of an inductive power transfer system for wireless charging of future electric transportation
(2016-08-01)
The motivation of this thesis was to formulate clear design guidelines for fabrication and control of an efficient series-series resonant inductive power transfer (SS-RIPT) system for electric vehicle battery charging ...
Analysis and evaluation of transactive energy control in active distribution systems
(2016-10-01)
The electric power distribution system is experiencing significant operational changes due to the integration of plug-in electric vehicles and intermittent distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar photovoltaics. ...
Analysis of the thermal hydraulics of a multiphase oxygen production reactor in the Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-06-01)
In the thermochemical water splitting process by Cu-Cl cycle, oxygen gas is produced by an endothermic thermolysis process in a three-phase reactor. In this thesis, the required heat for the thermolysis process is provided ...
Experimental investigation and modeling of lithium-ion battery cells and packs for electric vehicles
(2016-01-01)
The greatest challenge in the production of future generation electric and hybrid vehicle (EV and HEV) technology is the control and management of operating temperatures and heat generation. Vehicle performance, reliability ...
A framework of image processing for image-guided procedures
(2016-07-01)
Contrary to the cases of open surgery, during minimally invasive procedures,
surgeons have no direct access or very limited access to the operative site and
can only visualize the site and the focal region with the aid of ...
Sparse signal representation based algorithms with application to ultrasonic array imaging
(2016-06-01)
We address one- and two-layer ultrasonic array imaging. We use an array of transducers to inspect the internal structure of a given specimen. In the case of one-layer imaging we also address the problem of mode conversion. ...
Experimental investigation and analyses of continuous type hybrid photoelectrochemical hydrogen production systems
(2016-01-01)
Hydrogen is a highly versatile energy carrier that may become one of the key pillars to support the future CO2-free energy infrastructure. When used in fuel cells, H2 is converted to water and it gives little or zero exhaust ...
Coordinated control of active safety systems for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles
(2016-06-01)
To improve the directional performance of multitrailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs), the
model-based active safety systems, including the active trailer steering, trailer differential braking
and the active roll ...
User behavior pattern based security provisioning for distributed systems
(2016-01-01)
Behaviors of authorized users must be monitored and controlled due to the rise
of insider threats. Security analysts in large distributed systems are overwhelmed
by the number of system users, the complexity and changing ...
