Letters to a young engineer. Third edition, 2016
(University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2016)
Time-frequency analysis techniques for non-intrusive load monitoring
(2016-10-01)
The work
in this thesis examines time-frequency analysis techniques and in particular the wavelet
transform to extract the features contained within the electrical load signals. A novel approach
that is based on wavelet ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Optimal planning and operation of CHP within micro energy grids
(2016-04-01)
In this study, an optimal planning with respect to capacity sizes and types of prime movers for CHP systems within micro energy grids has been discussed. The objective is to minimize the total net present cost, carbon ...
Parametric investigation of flow-sound interaction mechanism of circular cylinders in cross-flow
(2016-12-01)
Flow-excited acoustic resonance in heat exchangers has been an ongoing issue for the past century. The main challenge in this issue, is in the actual prediction of the resonance occurrence. This is due to the complexity ...
Design and control of resilient micro-inverter system
(2016-02-01)
The growing implications of climate change have created an increasing demand for clean and renewable energy sources. Solar photovoltaics (PV) are increasingly popular as an alternative energy source due to the fact that ...
Claims-aware middleware for securing IoT services
(2016-04-01)
Take a look at the world around us. There has been tremendous change in the way of living. With the world around us getting smart, Internet of Things is gaining ground in our life. Applications like smart home and eHealth ...
Integrated heat pump options for heat upgrading in Cu-Cl cycle for hydrogen production
(2016-04-01)
The Copper Chlorine (Cu-Cl) hydrogen production cycle is a promising green method to meet the future demand for hydrogen. The Cu-Cl cycle has a number of endothermic reactions that take place at high temperature level. One ...
