Design of active trailer steering systems for long combination vehicles using robust control techniques
(2017-07-01)
The exponential growth in freightage and the ever-increasing traffic congestion has aided Long Combination Vehicles (LCVs) to emerge as an economical and pragmatic solution for freight transport compared to single unit ...
Nonlinear vibration analysis of viscoelastic plates with fractional damping
(2017-06-01)
Fractional calculus has the history as long as the classical calculus, but up to recent years, less attention has been paid to this method due to its complexity and difficulties in dealing with fractional derivatives and ...
Optimization of residential buildings and renewable energy integration in small island developing states: the Bahamas as a case study
(2017-08-01)
An optimization approach is used to assess the energy performance and design of residential homes in The Bahamas with the goal of providing objective data for policy makers to achieve the sustainability goals in the country. ...
Prediction of the off-road rigid-ring model parameters for truck tire and soft soil interactions
(2017-07-01)
Significant time and cost savings can be realized through the use of virtual simulation of testing procedures across diverse areas of research and development. Fully detailed virtual truck models using the simplified ...
Partial separation of an azeotropic mixture of hydrogen chloride and water and copper (ii) chloride recovery for optimization of the copper-chlorine cycle
(2017-09-01)
An atmospheric-pressure distillation system is designed and constructed to partially separate hydrochloric acid and water. The system concentrates HCl(aq) between the electrolyzer and hydrolysis steps of the Copper-Chlorine ...

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 ...
Development of multi-wheel drivetrain control system for future electric combat vehicle
(2017-04-01)
In modern times, electric vehicle and autonomous driving control technology have been rapidly evolving for use in civilian passenger vehicles. They bring forth many benefits in improved mobility, cost savings and life-preserving ...
Analysis and feasibility of an evaporative cooling system with sessile droplet evaporation to provide cooling for microprocessors
(2017-04-01)
The study investigates the cooling requirements for the Intel Xenon Processor and the Intel Core i7-900 Processor using diffusion based evaporation of sessile droplets. An analytical model is developed to determine the ...
Toward enhancement of evolutionary multi- and many-objective optimization: algorithms, performance metrics, and visualization techniques
(2017-12-01)
In the last three decades, the focus of multi-criteria optimization has been solving problems containing two or three objectives. However, real-world problems generally involve multiple stakeholders and functionalities ...
