A reliability-aware framework for service-based software development
(2017-01-01)
It is becoming common to see software applications taking advantage of web services available publicly to meet their needs, rather than developing an in-house solution. This introduces the problem where failures can occur ...
Optimal power minimization in two-way relay network with imperfect channel state information
(2010-08-01)
We study a two-way amplify and forward relay network with two transceivers which
communicate through a network of nr relays while there is no direct link between the two
transceivers. Each relay is equipped with a single ...
Development of an actuation system for a specialized fixture: providing two degrees of freedom for single point incremental forming
(2013-02-01)
In this thesis, an actuation system is developed for a Two-Axis Gyroscopic (TAG) adapter.
This adapter is a fixture with two auxiliary axes which is used for the Single Point
Incremental Forming (SPIF) technique to enhance ...
Design and development of an autonomous scaled electric combat vehicle
(2019-04-01)
Current literature pertaining to multi-steerable mobile robots and the progression of military vehicles in the past few decades suggest a lack of effort in pursuing advanced technologies in this joint area. As a result, a ...
Development of an obstacle detection and navigation system for autonomous powered wheelchairs
(2019-05-01)
This thesis describes the development and prototyping of an after market system to convert an electric powered wheelchair into an autonomous wheelchair. The purpose of this research is to automatize powered wheelchairs for ...
Experimental investigation of photocatalytic hydrogen production with boron-doped TiO2 and multi-walled carbon nanotubes-TiO2
(2019-04-01)
This thesis investigates photocatalytic hydrogen production by performing an experimental study using a small-scale photochemical cell which splits water to hydrogen and oxygen by UV light irradiated boron-doped TiO2 and ...
Controlling the Vienna rectifier using a simplified space vector pulse width modulation technique
(2019-11-01)
In this thesis, a simplified Space-Vector Pulse-Width-Modulation (SVPWM) technique for the Vienna rectifier is introduced to reduce the computational burden, the switching losses and the Total-Harmonic-Distortion (THD). ...
Damping acoustic pressure pulsations in pipelines using Helmholtz resonators
(2019-05-01)
In industrial piping systems, centrifugal and reciprocating turbomachinery generate acoustic pressure pulsations, which propagate into the pipeline and interact with piping components, potentially causing vibrations, ...
Design of robust active trailer steering controllers for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles using software/hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulations
(2019-08-01)
Due to their remarkable economic and environmental benefits, Multi-Trailer Articulated Heavy Vehicles (MTAHVs) have been frequently adopted by the trucking industry. Despite the above advantages, MTAHVs exhibit two particular ...
Design and development of advanced machine learning algorithms for lithium-ion battery state-of-charge estimation
(2019-11-01)
Batteries have been becoming more and more popular because of their long life and lightweight. Accurate estimation of the SOC help in making plans in an application to conserve and further enhance battery life. State of ...
