Wind load evaluation on photovoltaic modules with flow deflector
(2020)
The wind load on a photovoltaic system and the effects of adding a flow deflector around
the panel are studied. The deflector is a reinforce measurement aiming to reduce the
aerodynamic wind loads over the PV system, ...
An enhanced Teager Huang transform technique for bearing fault detection
(2021)
Rolling element bearings are widely used in rotating machinery. Bearing health condition
monitoring plays a vital role in predictive maintenance to recognize bearing faults at an early
stage to prevent machinery performance ...
An intelligent system for fault diagnosis in gearboxes
(2022)
Gearboxes are commonly used in rotating machinery for power transmission. A gearbox consists
of shafts, gears, and bearings, each component having specific mechanical dynamics and fault
properties. Reliable gearbox fault ...
An adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller for vibration suppression of a flexible structure in aerial refueling
(2022)
Air-to-air refueling (AAR) has been commonly used in military jet applications. Recently,
civilian applications of AAR have been garnering increased attention due to the high cost of air
travel, which is largely dictated ...
A tunable multi-stable piezoelectric vibration energy harvester
(2021)
The vibration energy harvester is intended to convert ambient environmental energy
into electrical energy. It has great potential to be an alternative to the conventional battery
in low-power electric devices. A traditional ...
Identification of cracks in pipelines based on machine learning and deep learning
(2022)
Pipelines are important long-distance transportation structures in modern industry, and because
many are buried deep underground, pipeline health monitoring is critical to industry; however,
inspecting underground pipelines ...
Influence of building neighbors on wind flow around a tall building
(2022)
This thesis focuses on how building neighbors influence wind flow around a tall building. The
wake dynamics and flow structures around a tall building are first explored using Large Eddy
Simulations (LES). Following this, ...
Pore-scale modelling of electrochemically reactive flow
(2022)
Electrochemistry, a field revolving around charge transport, is omnipresent in our every-day life.
It is found in batteries, water treatment, medicine, and food processing, to name a few. Water
dissolves more substances ...
Nonlinear mathematical and numerical modeling of the effect of temperature on membrane pore size
(2022)
Due to the growth of the global population, water stress has risen sharply. However,
water stress in high latitudes is not only due to population growth but also to low local
temperatures. Numerous studies have shown ...
