Machining of additively manufactured titanium Ti-6Al-4V; cutting forces and chip morphology
(2023-04-01)
This thesis studies the machining of additively manufactured (AM) titanium Ti-6Al-4V and presents a model to determine Johnson Cook (J-C) constitutive parameters from complex machining processes through numerical modeling ...
Waste collection & street-sweeping route optimization using a 2-stage cluster algorithm & heuristic approaches
(2023-04-01)
Waste collection and street-sweeping play a vital role in public health, safety, and overall cleanliness. Since these processes cannot be ignored, they should be done in an efficient manner. The following thesis proposes ...
Dynamic fuzzy reliability and safety assessment of passive safety systems in small modular reactors
(2023-04-01)
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) have garnered significant interest in recent years, and they may play an essential role in the future of energy supply and power generation. One major advantage associated with SMRs is their ...
Decommissioning considerations for molten salt type reactors
(2023-05-01)
Molten salt type small modular reactors are presently being developed as an option for providing electricity and alternative energy forms. The current proposed designs do not document how decommissioning will be addressed. ...
Design of a residential air source heat pump for extremely cold climates
(2023-05-01)
Air source heat pumps are energy efficient systems suitable for space heating applications, however, their performance drastically degrades in low ambient temperatures. An innovative design is proposed in this thesis that ...
Energy aware scheduling using reinforcement learning for 802.15.4e Time-Slotted Channel Hopping
(2023-11-01)
Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) is a medium access control mode defined in IEEE 802.15.4e standard. This protocol is a crucial component of fourth-generation IoT applications, enabling efficient communication through ...
Coordinated multicast beamforming for multi-cell massive MIMO systems
(2023-09-01)
In this thesis, we consider the efficient coordinated multi-cell multicast beamforming design in massive massive multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) cellular networks. For the problem that aims to minimize the base station ...
Improving classification system to detect cyclic alternation pattern using sleep EEG
(2023-08-01)
Cyclic alternative patterns (CAP) became an important tool to diagnose sleep disorders. This study aims to have a better understanding of CAP, as the clinical applications remain limited as CAP analysis is a time-consuming ...
Characterization of flow control using programmable multi-directional plasma actuators
(2023-09-01)
This research explores the use of a novel plasma actuator geometry and electrical configuration to generate directionally programmable flow fields near the surface of arrays of such plasma actuators. Plasma actuators are ...
The aeroacoustics response and shear layer dynamics of confined cavities subject to low Mach number turbulent flow
(2023-04-01)
Cavities exposed to low Mach number flow in various engineering applications are often liable for generating flow-excited acoustic oscillations, resulting in large acoustic amplitudes and vibrations. This compromises the ...
