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 ...
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 ...
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). ...
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 and analysis of active aerodynamic control systems for increasing the safety of high-speed road vehicles
(2019-07-01)
The lateral stability and the safety of road vehicles is dependent on the vehicle design and operating conditions. Under operating conditions such as slippery roads, high lateral acceleration and tight cornering, the forces ...
Analysis and optimization of fuel cell based integrated powering systems for clean rail applications
(2019-08-01)
In this thesis, proposals of novel integrated fuel cell powering systems for cleaner railway applications are presented and analyzed thermodynamically. Both energy and exergy analyses are conducted on these systems for ...
Customized topology optimization for additive manufacturing
(2019-08-01)
One of the biggest limitations of additive manufacturing (AM) is the resulting production times. Due to the layer-based method of material deposition, the time to produce a single part is substantial compared to techniques ...
Design and development of hydrophobic and protective polymer-based spray coatings for treating glass surfaces in building and automotive applications
(2019-08-01)
Glass surfaces in buildings and vehicles are susceptible to two common problems: unrestricted energy transmittance of light-waves resulting in increased HVAC costs, and reduced visibility as a consequence of wetting during ...
Active transport and concentration of analytes in microfluidic paper based analytical devices using ion concentration polarization
(2019-04-01)
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) have a high potential for miniaturizing complex testing functions, since they are inexpensive, disposable, and portable. Paper has the advantage over traditional fluid ...
Time-efficient offloading and execution of machine learning tasks between embedded systems and fog nodes
(2019-12-01)
As embedded systems become more prominent in society, it is important that the technologies that run on them must be used efficiently. One such technology is the Neural Network (NN). NN's, combined with the Internet of ...
