Optimal vehicle structural design for weight reduction using iterative finite element analysis
(2012-06-01)
The design and analysis of an automotive structure is an important stage of the vehicle design process. The structural characteristics have significant impact on the vehicle performance. During the design process it is ...
Modeling and multi-objective optimization of a photovoltaic-thermal based multigeneration system
(2015-01-01)
In this thesis, a novel multi generation integrated system is introduced, analyzed and optimized. It consists of GaAs based PV (Photo-Voltaic) arrays connected in series. Light is being concentrated on those arrays using ...
Key performance indicators modeling for optimized microgrid configuration
(2015-11-01)
Distribution system is so vulnerable to failures. These failures can be the result of natural or manmade threats. Blackouts are one of the distribution systems failures. Many people can be affected by blackouts. Therefore, ...
Exergoeconomic analysis and optimization of organic Rankine cycles
(2012-03-01)
Heat sources such as biomass, industrial waste heat and solar thermal provide the
potential to produce renewable environmentally low impact electricity. Using these
resources efficiently within economic constraints is ...
Design, optimization, and prototyping of a three translational degree of freedom parallel robot
(2012-03-01)
This thesis presents an evolutionarily design change for the Delta parallel
robot. The proposed design change increases the useful workspace of the robot
and aids in permanently avoiding singularities in the workspace. ...
User aid-based evolutionary computation for optimal parameter setting of image enhancement and segmentation
(2011-12-01)
Applications of imaging and image processing become a part of our daily life
and find their crucial way in real-world areas. Accordingly, the corresponding
techniques get more and more complicated.
Many tasks are ...
Development and experimental investigation of new self-can cooling systems
(2014-04-01)
In this thesis, two conceptual self-cooling beverage can designs are proposed. The methods of cooling are validated experimentally and certain parameters of interested are obtained for an analytical and numerical study of ...
