Non-linear model predictive control for autonomous vehicles
(2011-11-01)
With the advent of faster computer processors and better optimization algorithms,
Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems are more readily used for real-time applications.
This research focuses on the application of MPC ...
Experimental investigation of scroll based organic Rankine systems
(2011-04-01)
In this thesis, an experimental research is conducted on scroll-based Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) focusing on the expansion process. An important feature of the ORC is the ability to utilize low or moderate temperature ...
Novel opposition-based sampling methods for efficiently solving challenging optimization problems
(2011-04-01)
In solving noise-free and noisy optimization problems, candidate initialization and sampling
play a key role, but are not deeply investigated. It is of interest to know if the entire
search space has the same quality for ...
Analysis and processing issues of plastic color mismatch
(2011-05-01)
Color is a visual characteristic which imparts the ability to categorize different
objects. When light strikes an object, there are three possibilities as to what can happen.
The light may be reflected, refracted or ...
Automated inspection of sintered uranium fuel pellets
(2011-11-01)
A method of applying high-speed, non-destructive testing technologies to the inspection process of UO2 (uranium dioxide) fuel pellets is presented. The scanning process examines the surface of each pellet for correct ...
