Safe and Adaptive Social Robots for Children with Autism
(Mechanical Engineering, 2020 , Dissertation)
Social robots are being considered to be a part of the therapy for children with autism due to the reported efficacy such technology in improving the outcomes. How
ever, children diagnosed with autism exhibit challenging ...
Critical Assessment of Post-Award Contract Administration Performance in Construction Projects
(Engineering Management, 2020 , Dissertation)
While proper construction contract administration (CCA) is a core competency and a principal success factor for projects, the process is inevitably complex and improper performance of the associated tasks and processes ...
Sustainable Concrete Using Seawater, Recycled Aggregates, and Non Corrosive Reinforcement
(Civil Engineering, 2020 , Dissertation)
Using seawater and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in a concrete mix is potentially advantageous from a sustainability perspective. However, the high chloride levels expected in such a concrete mix demands the use of ...
Micromodel Study on Colloid Retention and Mobilization under different Geo-Chemical Conditions during Single and Two-Phase Flow
(Civil Engineering, 2020 , Dissertation)
Understanding the transport of colloids and colloid-facilitated transport of contaminants is essential for efficient cleanup and remediation processes. Various factors and mechanisms contributing to their retention in the ...
Framework for Content Distribution over Wireless LANs
(Electrical Engineering, 2020 , Dissertation)
Wireless LAN (also called as Wi-Fi) is dominantly considered as the most pervasive
technology for Intent access. Due to the low-cost of chipsets and support for high data
rates, Wi-Fi has become a universal solution ...
Turbuelence Modeling and Valication to Predict Velocity Profiles in Close-Coupled Five-Gore Elbows
(Mechanical Engineering, 2021 , Dissertation)
This research work aims to validate advanced turbulence modeling techniques used to predict complex flows in close-coupled five-gore elbows and similar complex geometries using data from 2016 ASHRAE RP-1682 (Study to ...
Multiphase Modular Multilevel Converter Based Drive System For Oil And Gas Recovery In Subsea Applications
(Electrical engineering, 2019 , Dissertation)
Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs) in subsea/offshore oil and gas applications are
involved in several processes throughout production, transportation, and treatment
phases, as they supply pumps and compressors. Therefore, ...
Wave Propagation Identification of Viscoelastic and Metallic Mechanical Metamaterials
(Civil Engineering, 2021 , Dissertation)
Mechanical Metamaterials (MMs) are artificially engineered composites which have unconventional mechanical properties that stem from their microstructural geometry rather than from their chemical composition. Several studies ...
Bio-Inspired Fabrication of Ultrafiltration Membranes Incorporating Polydopamine Functionalized Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles
(Environmental Engineering, 2021 , Dissertation)
Graphene oxide (GO) and its based materials have gained a significant interest in the membrane functionalization sector in the recent years. Inspired by their unique and tunable properties, several GO-based nanomaterials ...
Quasi impedance source based high power medium voltage converter for grid integration of distributed energy sources
(Electrical Engineering, 2021 , Dissertation)
The next generation of Power Electronics systems would need to be able to work at higher power levels, higher switching frequencies, compact size, and higher ambient temperatures, as well as should have improved energy ...
