This thesis proposes and compares multiple vehicle dynamics controllers using rear axle steering of an 8x8 combat vehicle. The controllers are assessed on ability to increase maneuverability at low speed, increase stability ...

In this thesis, a novel hybrid cooling concept for electric batteries is developed and studied at both the cell-level and pack-level experiments. The concept is based on a simple air-cooling duct that utilizes enhanced ...

The future of Electric Vehicle’s (EV) depends on the adoption of the technology. Currently the limiting factor for EV adoption is mainly the initial cost, the driving range, charging capability, and the battery life. The ...

In this thesis, we consider downlink multicast beamforming in massive multi-input multi- output (MIMO) multi-cell networks. Both non-cooperative and cooperative beamforming scenarios are considered. For the non-cooperative ...

Superhomogenization (SPH) has gained interest in the industry as a possible method to overcome the inherent limitations of standard homogenization (SH) for full nuclearreactor-core neutronics calculations because its ...

High-speed testing procedures for evaluating the lateral stability of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHV) include the use of both an open-loop and a closed-loop maneuvers as specified in ISO-14791. The standard ...

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 ...

Wood Plastic Composites (WPC) have advantages over natural wood such as improved stiffness, recyclability, and waste minimization. However, issues such as the difficulty of processing WPC with conventional methods, volatile ...

As hybrid and electric vehicles continue to evolve there is a need for better battery thermal management systems (BTMS), which maintain uniformity of operating temperature of the batteries in the vehicles. This thesis ...

The sexual exploitation of children remains a very serious problem and is rapidly increasing globally through the use of the Internet. This work focuses on the current methods employed by criminals to generate and distribute ...
