Controlling the Vienna rectifier using a simplified space vector pulse width modulation technique
(2019-11-01)
In this thesis, a simplified Space-Vector Pulse-Width-Modulation (SVPWM) technique for the Vienna rectifier is introduced to reduce the computational burden, the switching losses and the Total-Harmonic-Distortion (THD). ...
Damping acoustic pressure pulsations in pipelines using Helmholtz resonators
(2019-05-01)
In industrial piping systems, centrifugal and reciprocating turbomachinery generate acoustic pressure pulsations, which propagate into the pipeline and interact with piping components, potentially causing vibrations, ...
Optimal structure and efficient algorithm for max-min fair multi-group multicast beamforming
(2019-09-01)
In this thesis, we consider the max-min fair (MMF) multi-group multicast beamforming design to maximize the minimum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) subject to transmit power limit. We obtain the optimal ...
Design of robust active trailer steering controllers for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles using software/hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulations
(2019-08-01)
Due to their remarkable economic and environmental benefits, Multi-Trailer Articulated Heavy Vehicles (MTAHVs) have been frequently adopted by the trucking industry. Despite the above advantages, MTAHVs exhibit two particular ...
Design and development of advanced machine learning algorithms for lithium-ion battery state-of-charge estimation
(2019-11-01)
Batteries have been becoming more and more popular because of their long life and lightweight. Accurate estimation of the SOC help in making plans in an application to conserve and further enhance battery life. State of ...
A monitoring framework for side-channel information leaks
(2019-04-01)
Security and privacy in computer systems is becoming an ever important field of study as the information available on these systems is of ever increasing value. The state of research on direct security attacks to computer ...
Tribological capabilities of carbon based nano additives in liquid and semi-liquid lubricants
(2019-04-01)
The growing population, the environmental challenges and limitations of nonrenewable resources have enforced researchers to improve the energy efficiency and reduce energy wastage in all industrial sectors including ...
Numerical investigation of turbulent combustion regimes on localized forced ignition using stratified combustible mixture
(2019-03-01)
Localized forced ignition of turbulent stratified mixtures has been numerically analyzed based on three- dimensional Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) for different values of Karlovitz number (Ka) corresponding to different ...
Enhancing the effectiveness of Stirling engine regenerators
(2019-04-01)
A discrete heat transfer model is developed to determine which parameters influence the effectiveness of Stirling engine regenerators and quantify how they influence it. It is revealed that the regenerator thermal mass ...
Unsupervised brand name extraction using domain adaptation
(2019-08-01)
Business intelligence and analytics is an area of research that analyzes the existing business data to extract the insights needed for a successful business planning. Textual data derived from tweets, forum posts, and blogs ...
