Lateral stability analysis and MPC tracking control for articulated heavy vehicles
(2022-10-01)
Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) exhibit poor maneuverability during curved-path negotiations and low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers, which may lead to unstable motion modes, e.g., trailer-sway and ...
Manipulator’s configuration design, excavation path generation, and underground object detection for an autonomous electric excavator
(2022-12-01)
Construction is an industrial sector that requires high labor costs and is exposed to harsh and hazardous environmental conditions. As a solution to these problems, an autonomous excavator is expected in high demand. To ...
Improving cold climate performance of heat pumps using market-available systems
(2022-10-01)
Air source heat pumps are an excellent electric alternative to fossil fuel based heating systems for reducing residential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but common mild climate systems suffer significant performance losses ...
Rapid remaining-useful-life prediction of Li-ion batteries using image-based machine learning
(2022-08-01)
With the increased integration of lithium-ion batteries in our everyday lives, accurate and reliable battery management systems have become an imperative aspect of the well-being of our everyday electronics. This thesis ...
Design of dust-filtering algorithms for LiDAR sensors in off-road vehicles using the AI and non-AI methods
(2022-08-01)
The performance of Lidar sensors degrades in the presence of dust. These particles can impact sensor measurements and cause robot perception algorithms to misinterpret data. This thesis proposes two distinct dust filtering ...
Energy management of nuclear-renewable hybrid energy system for fast charging station
(2022-07-01)
The transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Due to this, electric vehicles (EVs) have become popular as it reduces emissions significantly. Despite this significance, EVs ...
Design optimization of articulated vehicles with autonomous steering control
(2022-08-01)
Human driver errors cause about 94% of traffic collisions. To increase the safety of road vehicles, extensive studies have been conducted on developing autonomous driving technologies. However, little attention has been ...
A supervised machine learning-based framework to detect low-level fault injections in software systems
(2022-08-01)
Fault injection attacks inject faults into system components, inducing abnormal software behavior. Software vulnerability analysis cannot prevent new attack vectors without software modifications. Attack detection methods ...
Development of a point-kinetics simulator for molten-salt reactors
(2022-08-01)
Molten-salt-fueled reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors that use a mixture of fissile material and molten fluoride salts as both fuel and primary coolant. Such reactors, which can operate at low pressure and high ...
Collision detection in smart-cities by using co-simulation
(2022-11-01)
Road traffic has become prominent in everyday living, impacting or disrupting services to people and daily routines. With the rise in automobile manufacturing and the frequency of vehicle crashes, human catastrophes, like ...
