Development of truck tire-terrain finite element analysis models.
(2013-12-01)
Heavy vehicles require tires which can withstand extreme loads while maintaining control,
delivering performance and minimizing fuel consumption, particularly on soft soils. Recent
advances in finite element analysis and ...
Experimental study of applying grooves on semi-tubular blank sheet metal using incremental sheet forming.
(2013-08-01)
Incremental sheet forming (ISF) was a flexible sheet metal forming process which utilized a variety of forming tools, materials, and dies. ISF was implemented to develop a series of column covers which visually replicated ...
Infrastructure for secure medical image sharing between distributed PACS and DI-r systems.
(2013-12-01)
Recent developments in information and communication technologies and their incor-
poration into the medical domain have opened doors for the enhancement of health care
services and thereby increasing the work
ow at a ...
Compressive sensing based non-destructive testing using ultrasonic arrays.
(2013-08-01)
In this thesis, we apply compressive sensing approach and the notion of sparse signal
recovery to the non-destructive testing application, using ultrasonic arrays. In many
signal processing applications including array ...
Model predictive control of a thermoelectric-based heat pump.
(2013-12-01)
Government regulations and growing concerns regarding global warming has
lead to an increasing number of passenger vehicles on the roads today that are not
powered by the conventional internal combustion (IC) engine. ...
Design optimization of aerodynamic drag at the rear of generic passenger cars using nurbs representation
(2013-05-01)
The rear geometry of a passenger car has the most significant influence on its aerodynamic characteristics. This thesis studied aerodynamic shape optimization of the rear geometry of passenger cars. The Non-uniform rational ...
Parallel design optimization of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety systems
(2013-04-01)
Multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs) exhibit unstable motion modes
at high speeds, including jack-knifing, trailer swing, and roll-over. These unstable
motion modes may lead to fatal accidents. On the other ...
Sum-rate maximization for active channels
(2013-04-01)
In conventional wireless channel models, there is no control on the gains of different
subchannels. In such channels, the transmitted signal undergoes attenuation and
phase shift and is subject to multi-path propagation ...
Development of an actuation system for a specialized fixture: providing two degrees of freedom for single point incremental forming
(2013-02-01)
In this thesis, an actuation system is developed for a Two-Axis Gyroscopic (TAG) adapter.
This adapter is a fixture with two auxiliary axes which is used for the Single Point
Incremental Forming (SPIF) technique to enhance ...
Simulation-based fault propagation analysis of process industry using process variable interaction analysis
(2013-01-01)
There are increasing safety concerns in chemical and petrochemical process industry. The huge explosion of Nowruz oil Field platform that happened in Persian gulf-IRAN at 1983, along with other disastrous events have ...
