Design of Robust Controllers for a Rotary Wing Helicopter
(2013-06)
Due to inherent instability, parametric variations, changing properties during flight, and uncertainties in predicting aerodynamic coefficients, helicopter flight control requires strategies with enough robustness to cope ...
Analysis and Optimization of p-Xylene Production Process
(2013-06)
In this study a process is developed for selective production of p-xylene from toluene methylation using reactive distillation for p-xylene separation. Complete process is simulated in Aspen Plus® and reaction parameters ...
Fuzzy Logic Based Patients' Monitoring System
(2013-01)
The ever increasing health care costs are becoming a major concern to both, individuals and authorities. This has tempted researchers to seek alternative models to the traditional and costly hospital-based monitoring and ...
Estimating Vehicle State by GPS/IMU Fusion with Vehicle Dynamics
(2013-01)
In this thesis, an implementation of a low-cost inertial navigation system with high integrity and reliability is proposed. The proposed system can be utilized for warning drivers in land vehicle applications of an approaching ...
Modeling Adsorption Data of Hydrocarbons on 13X Zeolite using the Gaussian Adsorption Isotherm Model
(2013-01)
Subcritical and supercritical adsorption data available in the literature for alkanes, alkenes and aromatics on 13X zeolite are correlated using the Gaussian adsorption model. This model is specified by three parameters: ...
Design and Implementation of an Advanced Control and Guidance Algorithm of a Single Rotor Helicopter
(2013-06)
In this thesis, a complete autopilot solution for the Joker 3 miniature helicopter was designed and implemented. A dynamic model, which sufficiently describes the Joker 3 helicopter in a wide range of flight conditions was ...
Sustainability of Composite Columns under Repeated Load and Harsh Environment
(2013-01)
Strengthening and rehabilitation are important operations for structural building to ensure sustainability. Enhancing the performance for the structural elements against the various loads and extreme conditions is the key ...
Seismic Risk Assessment of Buildings in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
(2013-06)
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is generally known to be a region of low seismicity despite being in close proximity to active seismic zones. However, recent moderate earthquakes that occurred within the UAE highlighted the ...
The Effects of Local Aggregates on the Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC)
(2013-06)
Engineered Cementitous Composites (ECC) are a class of ultra-ductile fiber reinforced cementitious composites characterized by a strain hardening behavior and a high strain capacity when subjected to tensile loading. ECC ...
Sustainability Assessment of Machining Processes
(2013-12)
There is an increased interest in sustainability assessment of manufacturing systems and processes. Various machining practices are being proposed as sustainable and require careful investigation. The current sustainability ...
