Inspection & modelling of cusp geometry in additive manufacturing to predict product’s surface roughness
(2015-04-01)
The final dimensional and geometric inaccuracies, and the resulting high surface roughness of the products have been the major problems in employing Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. Most of commonly used Additive ...
Single-stage boost integrated asymmetrical half-bridge AC-DC power converter with dual modulation for indoor led lighting
(2015-04-01)
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) for indoor lighting is a promising technology which can lead to major energy saving and cost reductions. The major concerns of improving power factor and regulating the output current ripple ...
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 ...
Nonlinear vibration and frequency response analysis of piezoelectric-based nanotube resonators
(2015-04-01)
To study the vibration behaviour of nanotube-based structures, different models of nanotubes under the effects of piezoelectric layer, intermediate mass, fluid flow and structure curvature are developed. The frequency ...
Experimental investigation of a catalyst under various solar light conditions for hydrogen production.
(2013-09-01)
The light absorption characteristics of the photocatalyst {[Ru(bpy)2(dpp)]2RhBr2}5+ and
the photochemical Ru(bpy)2(dpp)2+ is investigated. Extinction coefficient versus
wavelength is determined for both a low intensity ...
Correlation and real time classification of physiological streams for critical care monitoring.
(2013-12-01)
This thesis presents a framework for the deployment of algorithms that support the correlation and real-time classification of physiological data streams through the development of clinically meaningful alerts using a blend ...
Performance analysis of gas turbine cogeneration systems.
(2014-06-01)
Cogeneration is a highly efficient approach to generating electricity and process heat
from the same fuel source. It is an approach of utilizing waste energy products for a
useful purpose that significantly improves the ...
Passive methods for suppressing acoustic resonance excitation in shallow rectangular cavities.
(2014-08-01)
The flow-excited acoustic resonance in shallow rectangular cavities can be a source of severe noise and/or excessive vibration. This phenomenon is excited when one of the acoustic modes in the accommodating enclosure is ...
Development of truck tire-terrain finite element analysis models.
(2013-12-01)
Heavy vehicles require tires which can withstand extreme loads while maintaining control,
delivering performance and minimizing fuel consumption, particularly on soft soils. Recent
advances in finite element analysis and ...
Joint channel pairing and power allocation optimization in two-way multichannel relaying.
(2014-08-01)
We consider two-way amplify-and-forward relaying in a multichannel system with two
end nodes and a single relay, using a two-slot multi-access broadcast (MABC) as well as
time-division broadcast (TDBC) relaying strategies. ...
