Energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of gas-turbine based systems
(2011-12-01)
Gas turbines are the primary technology used for the purpose of power generation nearly everywhere. In this thesis, the Makkah Power Plant, running on a Brayton cycle, is considered for analysis. The peak demand for electric ...
Development of H∞ control strategy for a multi-wheeled combat vehicle
(2016-08-01)
A vehicle dynamics controller for an 8 x 8 heavy combat vehicle utilising both torque vectoring and third and fourth axle steering is propoed. The control scheme is composed of two controllers: a feedforward zero side slip ...
Vibration suppression of straight and curved beams traversed by moving loads
(2011-09-01)
Vibration suppression of beams traversed by moving loads, using optimal Tuned-Mass-Damper (TMD) systems, is investigated. This study is performed on two different geometrical shapes of the beam, namely, uniform homogenous ...
Modeling of voltage source converter based HVDC transmission system in EMTP-RV
(2010-08-01)
Voltage Source Converter (VSC) applications include but are not limited to HVDC, Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices such as STATCOM, SSSC, UPFC and Wind generators and active filters. The VSC based HVDC system ...
Energy-efficient relay cooperation for lifetime maximization
(2011-08-01)
We study energy-efficient power allocation among relays for lifetime maximization
in a dual-hop relay network operated by amplify-and-forward relays with battery
limitations. Power allocation algorithms are proposed for ...
Improved design of three-degree of freedom hip exoskeleton based on biomimetic parallel structure
(2011-07-01)
The external skeletons, Exoskeletons, are not a new research area in this highly
developed world. They are widely used in helping the wearer to enhance human strength,
endurance, and speed while walking with them. Most ...
Cooperative relay beamforming design for multi-cluster relay interference networks
(2016-08-01)
In this work, we consider a multi-cluster amplified-and-forward (AF) relay interference
network and design relay beam matrix for each cluster to maximize the minimum
signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) at ...
Interactive visualization of the collaborative research network
(2012-01-01)
Social networks have been evolving over the past few years, leading to a rapid increase in the number and complexity of relationships among their entities. In this research, we focus on a large scale dataset known as the ...
Design optimization of active trailer differential braking systems for car-trailer combinations
(2016-01-01)
The thesis studies active trailer differential braking (ATDB) systems to improve the lateral stability of car-trailer (CT) combinations. CT combinations exhibit unique unstable motion modes, including jack-knifing, trailer ...
CBPsp: complex business processes for stream processing
(2011-04-01)
This thesis presents the framework of a complex business process driven event
stream processing system to produce meaningful output with direct implications to the
business objectives of an organization. This framework is ...
