Development and experimental analysis of a novel hybrid cooling concept for electric vehicle batteries
(2018-03-01)
In this thesis, a novel hybrid cooling concept for electric batteries is developed and studied at both the cell-level and pack-level experiments. The concept is based on a simple air-cooling duct that utilizes enhanced ...
Development of an integrated inspection system for additive and subtractive hybrid manufacturing
(2018-01-01)
Using closed-loop inspection systems to modify coordinate metrology tasks for specific engineering applications has been a demanding research subject over the last decade. The objective of this thesis is to develop an ...
Investigation of a SPH-based sub-cell homogenization for PHWR using a multi-cell model
(2018-06-01)
Superhomogenization (SPH) has gained interest in the industry as a possible method to overcome the inherent limitations of standard homogenization (SH) for full nuclearreactor-core neutronics calculations because its ...
Design and validation of active trailer steering systems for articulated heavy vehicles using driver-hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulation
(2015-08-01)
To improve the low-speed maneuverability and high-speed lateral stability of Double Trailer Articulated Heavy Vehicles (DTAHVs), an Active Trailer Steering (ATS) system has been designed. To date, investigations on ATS ...
Integration of deviation zone evaluation and point measurement planning in coordinate metrology
(2015-03-01)
Reliable inspection of a manufactured part with coordinate Metrology demands excessive time to provide higher accuracy. The uncertainty of inspection highly depends on the number and location of points acquired during the ...
Jointly optimal pre- and post-channel equalization and distributed beamforming in asynchronous bi-directional relay networks
(2015-09-01)
We consider an asynchronous two-way relay network, consisting of two transceivers and multiple relays, where due to the propagation delays of different transceiver-relay paths being different, inter-symbol- interference ...
Characterization of fluid flow in paper-based microfluidic devices
(2015-07-01)
Paper-based microfluidic devices are being leveraged for application of diagnostic and detection technology in low-resource settings. In order to design a highly accurate device, a mathematical model is required to predict ...
Analysis of heat transfer and fluid flow in an evaporating sessile droplet for evaporative cooling applications
(2015-08-01)
Cooling is of critical importance for a number of fields, particularly in microelectronic
devices and other miniaturized technology. The evaporation of the sessile liquid
droplet facilitates the phase change of that liquid ...
Spectrum sensing based on capon power spectral density estimation
(2015-04-01)
Cognitive radio (CR) technology has evolved to solve the spectrum scarcity problem and improve
spectrum utilization. Spectrum sensing is a CR function that allows secondary users to
efficiently utilize the spectrum without ...
Inspection & modelling of cusp geometry in additive manufacturing to predict product’s surface roughness
(2015-04-01)
The final dimensional and geometric inaccuracies, and the resulting high surface roughness of the products have been the major problems in employing Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. Most of commonly used Additive ...
