Design optimization of articulated vehicles with autonomous steering control
(2022-08-01)
Human driver errors cause about 94% of traffic collisions. To increase the safety of road vehicles, extensive studies have been conducted on developing autonomous driving technologies. However, little attention has been ...
Design of broad-band dual-polarized microstrip patch antennas with high port isolation for millimeter-wave 5G applications
(2021-01-01)
In this thesis, multiple broadband dual linearly polarized antennas are designed covering the frequency band for the next generation of 5G communications around 28 GHz. Dual polarization antennas are employed to increase ...
A supervised machine learning-based framework to detect low-level fault injections in software systems
(2022-08-01)
Fault injection attacks inject faults into system components, inducing abnormal software behavior. Software vulnerability analysis cannot prevent new attack vectors without software modifications. Attack detection methods ...
A study of a novel design for efficient hydrolysis reactor for the Cu-Cl thermochemical hydrogen production cycle
(2021-06-01)
In this thesis, methods to optimize the Hydrolysis reactor for the Cu-Cl thermochemical Hydrogen production cycle were investigated. A simplified Hydrolysis reactor using simple off-the-shelf components was tested and found ...
Development of a point-kinetics simulator for molten-salt reactors
(2022-08-01)
Molten-salt-fueled reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors that use a mixture of fissile material and molten fluoride salts as both fuel and primary coolant. Such reactors, which can operate at low pressure and high ...
Collision detection in smart-cities by using co-simulation
(2022-11-01)
Road traffic has become prominent in everyday living, impacting or disrupting services to people and daily routines. With the rise in automobile manufacturing and the frequency of vehicle crashes, human catastrophes, like ...
Comparative economic analysis of conventional and plug-in battery electric vehicles in Canada
(2022-12-01)
Conventional vehicles typically use gasoline for their internal combustion engines (ICEs). On the other hand, plug-in battery electric vehicles (PBEVs) use electricity to charge their batteries, so they do not need gasoline. ...
Design and control of an active ankle-foot orthosis
(2022-04-01)
Active ankle-foot orthoses (AAFOs) assist a user unable to dorsiflex the ankle joint. The optimal AAFO is lightweight and aids the user in achieving a nominal gait.
This thesis presents the design and control of a novel ...
Design and analysis of multiple input non-isolated DC-DC converter for fast charging station of electric vehicles
(2022-08-01)
In the last decade, multi-input DC-DC converters have been studied in various research areas related to plug-in vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and renewable energy applications. They have several advantages over ...
Modeling and analysis of metal cutting process using self-propelled rotary tools
(2021-02-01)
Machining difficult-to-cut materials is still one of the challenges facing different industries such as aerospace, nuclear and automotive sectors. That’s mainly because of the excessive heat generated, which affects the ...
