The design and analysis of an automotive structure is an important stage of the vehicle design process. The structural characteristics have significant impact on the vehicle performance. During the design process it is ...

In this thesis, two conceptual self-cooling beverage can designs are proposed. The methods of cooling are validated experimentally and certain parameters of interested are obtained for an analytical and numerical study of ...

North American Heavy Vehicles contribute to a third of all road fatalities in Canada. Head on collisions are one of the most severe, as the mismatch of vehicle weight and sizing intensifies when a passenger vehicle is ...

An optimization approach is used to assess the energy performance and design of residential homes in The Bahamas with the goal of providing objective data for policy makers to achieve the sustainability goals in the country. ...

Heat sources such as biomass, industrial waste heat and solar thermal provide the potential to produce renewable environmentally low impact electricity. Using these resources efficiently within economic constraints is ...

Applications of imaging and image processing become a part of our daily life and find their crucial way in real-world areas. Accordingly, the corresponding techniques get more and more complicated. Many tasks are ...

This thesis presents an evolutionarily design change for the Delta parallel robot. The proposed design change increases the useful workspace of the robot and aids in permanently avoiding singularities in the workspace. ...

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 ...

In this thesis, a novel multi generation integrated system is introduced, analyzed and optimized. It consists of GaAs based PV (Photo-Voltaic) arrays connected in series. Light is being concentrated on those arrays using ...

The most important aspect of any land-type vehicle is the efficiency in which it can translate energy from an engine, motor, or external source to the ground in an effort to move. Currently, the most efficient way to do ...
