Development of FEA wide-base truck tire and soil interaction models
(2016-07-01)
Tires are considered one of the most important components of ground vehicles as they are the only link between the chassis and ground. They support the vehicle weight and cushion road surface irregularities to provide a ...
Joint relay beamforming and transceiver processing in multiuser relay network
(2016-08-01)
In this thesis, we focus on joint relay beamforming and transceiver processing in multiuser relay network. First of all, we consider the scenario in which multiple source-to-destination (S-D) pairs intend to communicate ...
Letters to a young engineer. Third edition, 2016
(University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2016)
Time-frequency analysis techniques for non-intrusive load monitoring
(2016-10-01)
The work
in this thesis examines time-frequency analysis techniques and in particular the wavelet
transform to extract the features contained within the electrical load signals. A novel approach
that is based on wavelet ...
Optimal planning and operation of CHP within micro energy grids
(2016-04-01)
In this study, an optimal planning with respect to capacity sizes and types of prime movers for CHP systems within micro energy grids has been discussed. The objective is to minimize the total net present cost, carbon ...
Parametric investigation of flow-sound interaction mechanism of circular cylinders in cross-flow
(2016-12-01)
Flow-excited acoustic resonance in heat exchangers has been an ongoing issue for the past century. The main challenge in this issue, is in the actual prediction of the resonance occurrence. This is due to the complexity ...
Design and control of resilient micro-inverter system
(2016-02-01)
The growing implications of climate change have created an increasing demand for clean and renewable energy sources. Solar photovoltaics (PV) are increasingly popular as an alternative energy source due to the fact that ...
Claims-aware middleware for securing IoT services
(2016-04-01)
Take a look at the world around us. There has been tremendous change in the way of living. With the world around us getting smart, Internet of Things is gaining ground in our life. Applications like smart home and eHealth ...
Integrated heat pump options for heat upgrading in Cu-Cl cycle for hydrogen production
(2016-04-01)
The Copper Chlorine (Cu-Cl) hydrogen production cycle is a promising green method to meet the future demand for hydrogen. The Cu-Cl cycle has a number of endothermic reactions that take place at high temperature level. One ...
Design and optimization of a macro-micro manipulator featuring a 3-UPS compliant parallel mechanism
(2016-10-01)
Micromanipulation in microtechnology is highly needed for microfabrication and biomedical applications. Specifically, high manipulation resolution combined with accurate macromotions plays a more crucial role especially ...
