Profile extrusion of wood plastic cellular composites and formulation evaluation using compression molding
(2010-05-01)
Wood Plastic Composites (WPCs) have experienced a healthy growth during the last decade. However, improvement in properties is necessary to increase their utility for structural applications. The toughness of WPCs can be ...
Islanding detection in distribution system embedded with renewable-based distributed generation
(2012-12-01)
Classical view of power system is characterized by a unidirectional power flow from
centralized generation to consumers. Power system deregulation gave impetus to a
modern view by introducing distributed generations (DGs) ...
OLSR-based network discovery in situational awareness system for tactical MANETs
(2012-01-01)
In this thesis, we propose a high level design for connectivity visualization of OLSRbased
MANET topology based on local topology databases available in an OLSR node.
Two different scenarios are considered: a central ...
Effective design of multiplexing network for applications in communications satellites
(2011-07-01)
Microwave multiplexing networks are widely used in satellite communication systems. Their performances, such as the insertion loss and rejection between channels, are extremely critical. This research aims at effective ...
Design and optimization of a three-fingered robot hand
(2011-04-01)
Humanoid robots have proven to be very useful and could revolutionize the way humans
live. Knowing human anatomy and behaviour helps improve a robotic mechanisms
ability to perform human tasks. The following thesis introduces ...
Experimental investigation of scroll based organic Rankine systems
(2011-04-01)
In this thesis, an experimental research is conducted on scroll-based Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) focusing on the expansion process. An important feature of the ORC is the ability to utilize low or moderate temperature ...
Energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of gas-turbine based systems
(2011-12-01)
Gas turbines are the primary technology used for the purpose of power generation nearly everywhere. In this thesis, the Makkah Power Plant, running on a Brayton cycle, is considered for analysis. The peak demand for electric ...
Development of H∞ control strategy for a multi-wheeled combat vehicle
(2016-08-01)
A vehicle dynamics controller for an 8 x 8 heavy combat vehicle utilising both torque vectoring and third and fourth axle steering is propoed. The control scheme is composed of two controllers: a feedforward zero side slip ...
Vibration suppression of straight and curved beams traversed by moving loads
(2011-09-01)
Vibration suppression of beams traversed by moving loads, using optimal Tuned-Mass-Damper (TMD) systems, is investigated. This study is performed on two different geometrical shapes of the beam, namely, uniform homogenous ...
Modeling of voltage source converter based HVDC transmission system in EMTP-RV
(2010-08-01)
Voltage Source Converter (VSC) applications include but are not limited to HVDC, Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices such as STATCOM, SSSC, UPFC and Wind generators and active filters. The VSC based HVDC system ...
