Modeling and analysis of truck tire-terrain interaction
(2020-04-01)
One of the key factors for improving the mobility and operating efficiency of trucks is the understanding of the tire-terrain interaction characteristics. Due to the broad range of terrains that trucks may operate over, ...
Development and assessment of integrated energy systems with ammonia synthesis and fuel cells
(2020-12-01)
Hydrogen and ammonia comprise two important clean fuels, which are expected to play a vital role in the development of clean energy production and utilization. Currently, their production relies heavily on fossil fuel-based ...
Soft-switched, active-clamped DC/AC and AC/AC converters for IPT-based wireless charging applications
(2020-09-01)
The acquisition of inductive power transfer (IPT) technology in commercial electric vehicles (EVs) alleviates the inherent burdens of high cost, limited driving range, and long charging time. In EV wireless charging systems ...
A contextual authentication framework for smart home environments
(2020-04-01)
A smart home is one equipped with connected Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that can be remotely accessed and controlled. Access to smart home devices is mostly achieved through smartphones and tablet computers, but this ...
Development of conformal reconfigurable metamaterial-based antennas
(2022-01-01)
Antennas are vital components of any wireless communication device. There has been a wide demand for novel flexible and reconfigurable wireless devices as a result of the rising user applications. This thesis presents the ...
A system framework for non-intrusive monitoring of HMI states for detecting human-in-the-loop error precursors
(2020-04-01)
Past industrial accidents suggest that increased automation has had an adverse effect on operator situational awareness (SA) and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) errors. More so, any current automation is not yet capable of providing ...
Development and modeling of a lab-scale integrated copper-chlorine cycle for hydrogen production
(2020-08-01)
