Design and analysis of an active underbody aerodynamic device for tractor trailers
(2018-04-01)
At highway speeds, up to 65 % of the total energy used by large trucks is for overcoming aerodynamic drag. The underbody region of a tractor-trailer is responsible for up to 30 % of the aerodynamic drag on tractor-trailers, ...
Development and investigation of an ammonia synthesis reactor
(2018-08-01)
Ammonia production has gained increasing attention in the last decade due to its importance as a feedstock and an energy carrier. In the present thesis study, two novel ammonia production systems are presented. The first ...
Design and verification of situation-aware real-time systems
(2018-12-01)
A real-time system (RTS) is usually well-defined and operates based on a specific model defined during system design. However, the RTS can interact with different objects from its environment and needs to satisfy a number ...
Building an on-ball screen dataset using supervised and unsupervised learning
(2018-09-01)
Applications of statistics and machine learning in sports analytics have made significant advances since the early days of Bill James' publication, Baseball Analyst. In the publication, analysts and researchers would ...
Development of an end-effector system for autonomous spraying applications and radiation surveying
(2018-11-01)
This thesis presents the design and testing of a scale proof-of-concept prototype end-effector system for autonomous shotcrete application and radiation surveying in underground uranium mining environments. The prototype ...
Apprehension of Resistive Characteristics of Plasma Ionized Hybrid Nano Fibrous Silicon
(2018-12-04)
Literature review done for the study identified number of challenges with the conventional way of manufacturing nano patterned surfaces. Also, it indicated immense potential of nano structured surface as a sensing surface ...
A Survey on Security and Attack Aspects of Passwords
(2018-01-19)
Despite many weaknesses, passwords are still mainly used, and will continue to be used in the near future, for the user authentication process. Passwords remain one of the important pillars of the protection structure even ...
Control of resonant excitation in piping systems
(9th International Symposium on Fluid-Structure Interactions, Flow-Sound Interactions, Flow-Induced Vibration & Noise, 2018)
Acoustic resonance is a phenomenon which is known to
have severe repercussions in a variety of industrial systems.
Acoustic resonance can cause high levels of vibrations leading
to damage or premature failure of critical ...
