Design, performance, and economic evaluation of grid-connected renewable power generation system for Iqaluit community
(2022-08-01)
The high demand for clean and green energy is due to the rise in global temperature as the climate is affected using fossil fuel for energy generation in the arctic region. Nunavut is rich in renewable resources like wind ...
Design and control of an active ankle-foot orthosis
(2022-04-01)
Active ankle-foot orthoses (AAFOs) assist a user unable to dorsiflex the ankle joint. The optimal AAFO is lightweight and aids the user in achieving a nominal gait.
This thesis presents the design and control of a novel ...
Flow characteristics and acoustic resonance excitation of finned cylinders in cross-flow
(2022-12-01)
The flow characteristics and acoustic resonance excitation of bare and finned cylinders of different arrangements in cross-flow were experimentally investigated. In the design phase of finned tube heat exchangers, finned ...
Optimized clean hydrogen production using nuclear small modular reactor and concentrated solar power as a renewable energy source
(2022-12-01)
According to current predictions, hydrogen will serve as a key fuel and energy source by decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this research an integral Pressurized Water Reactor-type Small Modular Reactor (iPWR-type ...
A novel deep learning architecture and large-scale benchmark for robust object detection in traffic surveillance and analysis
(2022-12-01)
Upstream technologies such as traffic surveillance provide helpful information to downstream intelligent transportation systems intending to improve the safety, mobility, and efficiency of road-users whilst reducing their ...
Incremental learning algorithm for anomaly detection applied to computed tomography scans in nuclear industry
(2022-12-01)
During routine nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection, each maintenance tool is inspected manually before and after use on a nuclear reactor. This could result in long inspection duration (up to months), time, and resource ...
Lateral stability analysis and MPC tracking control for articulated heavy vehicles
(2022-10-01)
Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) exhibit poor maneuverability during curved-path negotiations and low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers, which may lead to unstable motion modes, e.g., trailer-sway and ...
Manipulator’s configuration design, excavation path generation, and underground object detection for an autonomous electric excavator
(2022-12-01)
Construction is an industrial sector that requires high labor costs and is exposed to harsh and hazardous environmental conditions. As a solution to these problems, an autonomous excavator is expected in high demand. To ...
