Investigation of a SPH-based sub-cell homogenization for PHWR using a multi-cell model
(2018-06-01)
Superhomogenization (SPH) has gained interest in the industry as a possible method to overcome the inherent limitations of standard homogenization (SH) for full nuclearreactor-core neutronics calculations because its ...
High-speed lateral stability analysis of articulated heavy vehicles using driver-in-the-loop real time simulation
(2018-04-01)
High-speed testing procedures for evaluating the lateral stability of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHV) include the use of both an open-loop and a closed-loop maneuvers as specified in ISO-14791. The standard ...
Enhancing the effectiveness of Stirling engine regenerators
(2019-04-01)
A discrete heat transfer model is developed to determine which parameters influence the effectiveness of Stirling engine regenerators and quantify how they influence it. It is revealed that the regenerator thermal mass ...
Building an on-ball screen dataset using supervised and unsupervised learning
(2018-09-01)
Applications of statistics and machine learning in sports analytics have made significant advances since the early days of Bill James' publication, Baseball Analyst. In the publication, analysts and researchers would ...
Development of an end-effector system for autonomous spraying applications and radiation surveying
(2018-11-01)
This thesis presents the design and testing of a scale proof-of-concept prototype end-effector system for autonomous shotcrete application and radiation surveying in underground uranium mining environments. The prototype ...
Design and development of a universal gripper mechanism and development of an omni-directional unmanned aerial vehicle for autonomous perching
(2020-04-01)
A novel omni-directional multi-rotor prototype with an attached gripper mechanism named the OmniRaptor is presented with the capability of landing on inclined members in a controlled, stable manner to perform construction ...
Analysis, development, and control of multi-degree-of-freedom passive haptic devices
(2020-08-01)
Stability and transparency are key design requirements in haptic devices. Replacing conventional electric motors with passive actuators such as brakes or dampers can improve both stability and transparency as passive ...
Investigation of three integrated energy systems with desalination, heat storage, thermochemical cycles and heat upgrade
(2020-09-01)
This thesis study proposes three different novel renewable energy-based multigeneration integrated systems with molten salt heat storage and desalination options where copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) and magnesium-chlorine (Mg-Cl) ...
Proposing effective coordinate search methods for solving large-scale expensive black-box optimization problems
(2020-08-01)
In engineering and science, optimization plays a vital role in many real-world applications. In this work, several novel optimization algorithms based on Coordinate Search (CS) algorithm are proposed. CS is a gradient-free ...
Energy management system of a microgrid with distributed generation
(2019-08-01)
An Energy Management System (EMS) is required to control the flow of power and match generation with the load within a microgrid during grid-connected and islanded modes of operation. In grid-connected mode, a microgrid ...
