Proposing effective coordinate search methods for solving large-scale expensive black-box optimization problems
(2020-08-01)
In engineering and science, optimization plays a vital role in many real-world applications. In this work, several novel optimization algorithms based on Coordinate Search (CS) algorithm are proposed. CS is a gradient-free ...
Effect of diameter ratios on the flow-sound interaction of the straight circular finned cylinders
(2020-01-01)
Finned tubes that are widely used in heat exchangers could be susceptible to the flow-excited acoustic resonance that generates intense pressure fluctuations, which may lead to premature fatigue failure of the tubes. This ...
Design and development of a novel anthropomorphic finger with pneumatic tactile sensing
(2020-04-01)
The human hand is a tool that we rely on to conduct a vast variety of tasks, from cracking eggs to lifting boxes. Meanwhile, in an industrial setting, different tools are needed to complete specific tasks. Picking up a box ...
Towards computer-automated mechatronic design and optimization using linear graphs and evolutionary computing
(2020-04-01)
A comparison of literature between the linear graph (LG) and bond graph (BG) approaches shows that the surpassing of BGs to LGs in applications related to the modeling of mechatronic systems is driven primarily by a lack ...
Design and development of an interactive autonomous monitoring and surveillance drone
(2020-04-01)
This thesis describes the design and development of the novel autonomous UAV that has powerful GPU unit and potential sensing capability. It can run ROS (Robot Operating System) and compatible with packages developed under ...
Modeling and analysis of off-road tire cornering characteristics
(2022-05-01)
Cornering performance characteristics of wheeled vehicles substantially rely on the forces/moments generated from interactions between pneumatic tires and terrains. Accurate models are thus required to predict these ...
Design and evaluation of integrated waste to energy multigenerational systems
(2022-04-01)
This thesis study develops three renewable energy-based waste-to-energy multigeneration systems and examine them thermodynamically and economically. The first system uses solar-based energy and animal manure waste, and the ...
Investigation of electrochemical and material properties of TiO2 nanostructures generated by pulsed laser ablation
(2022-04-01)
The most challenging feature of the supercapacitor is low energy density. The supercapacitor's low energy density can be improved by proposing new materials for electrodes, electrolytes, etc. This thesis presents a new ...
Analysis and assessment of integrated waste-to-energy systems based on plastic wastes for multigeneration
(2022-04-01)
This thesis proposes three wastes to energy multigeneration systems that are based on plastic wastes. The three systems are coupled with renewable energy resources like solar energy, geothermal energy, and wind turbine ...
Design and development of a machine learning-based framework for phishing website detection
(2022-04-01)
Phishing is a social engineering cyber attack to steal personal information from users. Attackers solicit individuals to click phishing links by sending them emails or social media text messages with deceptive content. ...
