Comparison of the force and torque transfer for different cam profiles
(2021-09-01)
This study presents static load and torque distribution measurements in groove cams for sinusoidal and cycloidal cam profiles. In this thesis, two different designs and apparatuses were developed and built for the static ...
Effect of cutting tool microgeometry when milling hardened steels, a finite element simulation and surface integrity analysis
(2021-01-01)
This research work presents a 3D finite element model for the milling of hardened steels. The model was developed using ABAQUS/Explicit software and the Lagrangian approach was utilized. Experimental milling tests were ...
Tissue classification from electric impedance spectroscopy for haptic feedback in minimally invasive surgery
(2020-10-01)
Haptic feedback is missing in teleoperated surgical robots creating a sensory disconnect from the surgeon and their patient. This thesis proposes using the electric impedance of tissues, instead of the traditionally used ...
Investigation of selective optical properties of Si/SiO2 nanostructures generated by pulsed laser ablation as-deposited and post-treated
(2020-05-01)
Silicon and its derivatives like SiO2 are essential materials for industrial applications such as semiconductors, optoelectronics, and telecommunication. Optical properties of a large group of silicon/silica nanofibrous ...
Predicted safety & excavation progress algorithms for autonomous excavation
(2020-08-01)
Excavation is the process of moving earth and is considered to be one of the primary projects in the construction industry. The adoption of various cutting-edge technologies for full automation can be a solution to the ...
An energy-efficient periodic resource model for cyber-physical systems By Suzanne Elashri
(2021-08-01)
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), especially real-time systems, are subject to time constraints that should be met for the applications to run properly. The schedulability of workloads can be analyzed by determining the supply ...
A bidirectional battery-to-battery energy cycler for battery pack testing and validation
(2020-11-01)
Lithium-ion batteries are becoming popular not only in the Electric Vehicle (EV) market but also in other sectors because of their salient features like high terminal voltage, fast charge/discharge capabilities, and energy ...
Enhancement of bioactive glass biocompatibility by deposition of titanium nanofibres generated by the High Intensity Laser Induced Reverse Transfer Method (HILIRT)
(2020-04-01)
A literature review was done in order to understand the structure and properties of the surface of bioactive glass and how to make this structure biocompatible with the human body. In this research, glass biocompatibility ...
Probabilistic assessment of the impact of integrating large-scale high-power fast charging stations on the power quality in the electric power distribution systems
(2020-03-01)
The work presented in this thesis assesses the impacts of integrating large-scale high-power fast charging stations on the electric power quality by studying different power quality phenomena such as low-order and high-order ...
Development and validation of an Active Grille Shutter testing platform
(2020-09-01)
In this thesis, a testbench is developed for testing the functionality of Active Grille Shutters (AGS) and radiators in wind tunnels. Additionally, a generic pressure plate is designed to mimic commercial radiators, and a ...
