(2017-05-17)Quadrotor is one type of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL). In this project, the well-established Sliding Mode Control (SMC) approach is studied and applied to a quadrotor to ...
-
(2017-07-18)Due to its usage in large quantity, the concrete industry contributes to 5% of the annual anthropogenic carbon production. The main reason is the production of traditional concrete binder materials, Ordinary Portland Cement ...
-
(2017-08-14)This report describes the effect of temperature gradient on the water vapour transmission properties of building materials. The generated temperature gradient across a test material is validated with thermal analysis by ...
-
(2017-09-11)In industry, the water level control problem is a typical process control problem, and has been extensively studied in the literature. This report focuses on the design and implementation of a PLC-based water level control ...
-
(2017-09-13)Natural fiber reinforced concrete (NFRC) has been brought into the lime light again by researchers to address the issues of sustainability, recyclability, and CO2 gas emission that are associated with the manufacturing and ...
-
(2017-09-30)Tensile Testing of four different polymers was done to determine the best 3D printer material for developing a scoliosis brace using a 3D printer. Mechanical properties of various polymer materials have been studied to ...
-
(2017-10-11)Porous asphalt has been increasingly used in increased urbanization areas due to its positive environmental aspects. The porous asphalt is used to reduce the amount of runoff from rain water and it also helps to improve ...
-
(2017-10-11)With increasing focus on energy efficient and sustainable building envelopes, the need to define the heat-air-moisture transport (hygrothermal) properties of building materials accurately cannot be overemphasized. New ...
-
(2017-10-16)Rammed earth is an ancient construction material which has recently regained the attention of the stakeholders involved in the maintenance of older buildings and design of new buildings according to the rules of modern ...
-
(2017-12-19)This study reviews the moisture indices used in moisture management of insulated walls in Canada. The Moisture Index (MI), was reviewed and critiqued for its role in the building code for characterizing different climate ...
-
(2018-01-04)Neurodegenerative diseases and disorders affect millions of individuals in North America. The annual cost of treatment is in the billions and treatment options remain limited. Current methods focus on physical rehabilitation ...
-
(2018-02-24)Rammed earth (RE) is the ancient method of construction which is revived in modern days construction due to its sustainability, longevity, low material transportation costs etc., The current study is conducted to predict ...
-
(2018-05-15)In recent years, Smart Grid Technology (SGT) has become the next generation of communication and control techniques in power grids, which provides bi-directional communication and control of power flow to enhance the ...
-
(2018-08-10)The production of Portland cement causes environmental pollution due to the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. This environmental pollution can be reduced by improving the usage of industrial by-products. ...
-
(2018-08-30)One of the main detrimental factors for the durability of exterior building envelopes is the presence of water. Capillary rise is a major mechanism for water penetration inside the building materials in the liquid state. ...
-
(2019-05-18)Alberta is a resource abundant province and with more than 38 million hectares of forest land (more than 60% of the province land), it has a considerable potential of bioenergy resources. While the annual wood production ...
-
(2019-07-04)Non-spherical granular flow is strongly affected by the shape of grains. In this project, a numerical analysis is performed for two non-spherical grains such as rice and lentil by applying a kinematic continuum model as ...
-
(2019-08-31)ENGR 141 Engineering Mechanics is a first-year course that is common to all of the University of Victoria engineering degree programs. Between 2013 and 2014, the course population grew by ~50% necessitating changes in the ...
-
(2020-05-04)Reliable, economic and efficient energy storage is needed to help shift from primarily fossil fuel generated electricity to clean energy. This report develops a thermodynamics based model for an osmotic energy storage (OES) ...
-
(2020-08-18)This work investigates the mechanical properties of 3D printed polymers namely Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Polypropylene (PP), which underwent the process of tensile and bending testing. The PP material is utilized in the ...
