Influence of sinusoidal motion on Stirling engines
(2018-12-01)
Stirling engines have a high potential to produce renewable energy due to their ability to use a wide range of sustainable heat sources and their high theoretical efficiencies. They have not yet achieved widespread use and ...
Analytical modelling of annular flow magnetorheological valves for advanced fluid control
(2019-08-01)
Magnetorheological valves have the potential to disrupt the fluid control industry with their numerous advantages over mechanical valves. The current design and development process of these valves largely leverages computer ...
Multimodal series elastic actuator for human-machine interaction with applications in robot-aided rehabilitation
(2019-11-01)
Series elastic actuators (SEAs) are becoming an elemental building block in collaborative robotic systems. They introduce an elastic element between the mechanical drive and the end-effector, making otherwise rigid structures ...
Design and development of an autonomous scaled electric combat vehicle
(2019-04-01)
Current literature pertaining to multi-steerable mobile robots and the progression of military vehicles in the past few decades suggest a lack of effort in pursuing advanced technologies in this joint area. As a result, a ...
Proposing an ensemble-based model using data clustering and machine learning algorithms for effective predictions
(2019-08-01)
One of the most important tasks in machine learning is prediction. Data scientists use various regression methods to find the most appropriate and accurate model applicable for each type of datasets. This study proposes a ...
Robust controller design for active trailer steering systems of articulated vehicles using multi-objective optimization
(2019-08-01)
This thesis presents and evaluates an approach to the robust controller design for active trailer steering (ATS) systems to increase the safety of articulated vehicles. By applying a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm ...
Integrated topology optimization design and process planning for additive manufacturing
(2019-08-01)
Industry 4.0 demands that the systems and processes in today’s product design and manufacturing not just be automated, but to be robust and containing many feedback mechanisms which enables it to be self-correcting. The ...
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 ...
Energy management system of a microgrid with distributed generation
(2019-08-01)
An Energy Management System (EMS) is required to control the flow of power and match generation with the load within a microgrid during grid-connected and islanded modes of operation. In grid-connected mode, a microgrid ...
Simulation of microgrid system and low-cost wireless communication network
(2019-08-01)
The MATLAB/SIMULINK model of a microgrid system is presented in this thesis. The microgrid consists of a converter-fed distributed generator photovoltaic array with maximum power point tracking, a converter-fed battery ...
