Robust multi-group multicast beamforming design and antenna selection for massive MIMO systems
(2023-04-01)
In this dissertation, we use an Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm to design robust multi-group multicast beamforming scheme for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems for two ...
Development and assessment of integrated powering systems with alternative fuel choices for clean transportation
(2023-04-01)
This thesis presents novel engine systems using alternative fuels for aviation, rail, and marine transportation as follows: (i) alternative powering systems, such as fuel cells, on-board hydrogen production (ii) alternative ...
Design and evaluation of GAN-based models for adversarial training robustness in deep learning
(2023-04-01)
Adversarial attacks show one of the generalization issues of current deep learning models on special distribution shifted data. The adversarial samples generated by the attack algorithm can introduce malicious behavior to ...
Design of surface micro-machined inertial MEMS sensor with meta-heuristic topology optimization
(2023-03-01)
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are getting popular for a variety of applications due to their small size, low cost, and good performance. MEMS devices are designed by combining simple shapes based on the experience ...
The aeroacoustics response and shear layer dynamics of confined cavities subject to low Mach number turbulent flow
(2023-04-01)
Cavities exposed to low Mach number flow in various engineering applications are often liable for generating flow-excited acoustic oscillations, resulting in large acoustic amplitudes and vibrations. This compromises the ...
Test case prioritization using transfer learning in continuous integration environments
(2023-04-01)
Continuous integration (CI) systems use automated tests to verify software builds and optimize the testing process through test case prioritization (TCP). Recent research studies on TCP in CI environments have employed ...
Hot particle dosimetry using a wall-less tissue equivalent proportional counter
(2023-05-01)
Highly radioactive specks of irradiated nuclear fuel or activated material, colloquially known as 'hot particles', can enter the workplace or external environment from nuclear power plant operations such as refurbishment ...
Machining of additively manufactured titanium Ti-6Al-4V; cutting forces and chip morphology
(2023-04-01)
This thesis studies the machining of additively manufactured (AM) titanium Ti-6Al-4V and presents a model to determine Johnson Cook (J-C) constitutive parameters from complex machining processes through numerical modeling ...
Waste collection & street-sweeping route optimization using a 2-stage cluster algorithm & heuristic approaches
(2023-04-01)
Waste collection and street-sweeping play a vital role in public health, safety, and overall cleanliness. Since these processes cannot be ignored, they should be done in an efficient manner. The following thesis proposes ...
Dynamic fuzzy reliability and safety assessment of passive safety systems in small modular reactors
(2023-04-01)
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) have garnered significant interest in recent years, and they may play an essential role in the future of energy supply and power generation. One major advantage associated with SMRs is their ...
