Application of traveling salesman problem in generating a collision-free tool path in drilling
(2021-04-01)
In machining, the tool path is generated according to the workpiece geometry and arrangement of holes. Majority of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software offer a set of predefined strategies to choose from. These tool ...
Combustion and emission characteristics of ammonia blended fuels in a spark-ignited engine
(2020-06-01)
Climate change and fossil fuel depletion has brought attention to the need for alternative fuels. Ammonia shows great potential as an alternative fuel because it is carbon-free and can be produced renewably. In this study ...
Linear regression model for continuous non-invasive blood pressure estimation for an ICU setting
(2021-11-01)
Continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring in critically ill patients is crucially important for clinicians. The gold standard intra-arterial method is complicated and contraindicated. Current pulse transit time (PTT)-based ...
Semi-direct visual SLAM for stereo cameras: system design and validation
(2021-11-01)
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) requires an autonomous vehicle in an unknown environment to learn about the environment, generates a map and localize itself at the same time. To solve this problem, various ...
Tunable compact microwave multiplexers based on substrate integrated waveguide
(2021-05-01)
Microwave multiplexers and diplexers are widely used in communication systems. This thesis presents a compact low-profile hybrid-coupled filter module (HCFM) implemented using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). Compared ...
Enhancement of lateral stability for a multi-wheeled combat vehicle using various control strategies
(2021-08-01)
This thesis investigates various active chassis control strategies for multi-wheeled combat vehicle to enhance its lateral stability at limit handling. The proposed control strategies are Active All- Wheel Steering (AWS), ...
A CFD analysis of the pressure drop through misaligned Stirling engine regenerators
(2021-04-01)
Experiments were conducted to discover the average misalignment in wire mesh regenerators, and it was found that regardless of the intended stacking arrangement, the average misalignment was 44% to 49%. A 3-dimensional CFD ...
Analysis, development, and control of multi-degree-of-freedom passive haptic devices
(2020-08-01)
Stability and transparency are key design requirements in haptic devices. Replacing conventional electric motors with passive actuators such as brakes or dampers can improve both stability and transparency as passive ...
Investigation of three integrated energy systems with desalination, heat storage, thermochemical cycles and heat upgrade
(2020-09-01)
This thesis study proposes three different novel renewable energy-based multigeneration integrated systems with molten salt heat storage and desalination options where copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) and magnesium-chlorine (Mg-Cl) ...
Development of a knowledge base using human experience semantic network for instructive texts
(2021-12-01)
An organized knowledge base plays a vital role in retaining knowledge. Instructive text (iText) consists of a set of instructions to accomplish a task or operation. In the case of iText, storing only entities and their ...
