Robust controller design for active trailer steering systems of articulated vehicles using multi-objective optimization
(2019-08-01)
This thesis presents and evaluates an approach to the robust controller design for active trailer steering (ATS) systems to increase the safety of articulated vehicles. By applying a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm ...
Integrated topology optimization design and process planning for additive manufacturing
(2019-08-01)
Industry 4.0 demands that the systems and processes in today’s product design and manufacturing not just be automated, but to be robust and containing many feedback mechanisms which enables it to be self-correcting. The ...
Simulation of microgrid system and low-cost wireless communication network
(2019-08-01)
The MATLAB/SIMULINK model of a microgrid system is presented in this thesis. The microgrid consists of a converter-fed distributed generator photovoltaic array with maximum power point tracking, a converter-fed battery ...
Optimal structure and efficient algorithm for max-min fair multi-group multicast beamforming
(2019-09-01)
In this thesis, we consider the max-min fair (MMF) multi-group multicast beamforming design to maximize the minimum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) subject to transmit power limit. We obtain the optimal ...
Design and analysis of active aerodynamic control systems for increasing the safety of high-speed road vehicles
(2019-07-01)
The lateral stability and the safety of road vehicles is dependent on the vehicle design and operating conditions. Under operating conditions such as slippery roads, high lateral acceleration and tight cornering, the forces ...
A study on regulation standard for SMRs
(2019-08-01)
The current thinking in the nuclear energy industry is favoring by small-scale Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) with improved safety and multiple applications compared to conventional large-size nuclear power plants. The ...
Reinforcing effect of PVDF/MWCNTs nanofibers on dental resin based composites
(2019-12-01)
In the present study, the restorative composite resin was fabricated by impregnating electro-spun PVDF/MWCNTs nanofiber membrane within the based dental polymer (BisGMA/TEGDMA) using photo-polymerization. The flexural ...
Comprehensive Investigation on Content-based Medical Image Retrieval using Radon Barcodes
(2019-12-01)
Content Based Medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR) systems are vital to the underlying operation of medical databases because they allow quick search and retrieval of medical images. Radon Barcode (RBC)s are binary complementary ...
Design and implementation of a universal onboard battery fast charger for transportation electrification applications
(2019-07-01)
Electric vehicles (EVs) have signaled a new era in the transportation sector. One key area that is still in development and has a future scope for advancement is the efficient charging systems of the EVs. Due to safety ...
Enhancement of lateral stability of car-trailer systems using model-reference adaptive control
(2019-12-01)
Car-Trailer (CT) systems exhibit reduced maneuverability in curved-path negotiations and display low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers. Therefore, the objective of this thesis is to design a Lyapunov-S ...
