Toward a biofidelic and repeatable physical head-brain model for application in blunt impact
DownloadFall 2023
Headforms as a type of physical human head models are widely used in head injury research and for the design and assessment of safety gear. The mechanisms of head injury caused by blunt impact (a common loading scenario) are associated with global head kinematics and intracranial mechanics such...

Towards a Fully Autonomous Robotic System for lntra-logistics Applications: Applications in the Oil and Gas lndustry
DownloadFall 2020
Intra-logistics plays an important role in industry and service activities. However, current intra-logistics systems have several shortcomings for which mobile robots are the most suitable candidate to solve them. Nevertheless, the use of mobile robots should rstly overcome several challenges...

Towards a Generalized Value Stream Mapping and Domain Ontology to Support the Enabling of Industry 4.0 in Construction
DownloadSpring 2021
Construction projects have temporary fragmented supply chains that face many challenges, such as lack of trust, inadequate knowledge management, and poor communication. These challenges led to poor performance in terms of low productivity, high cost, schedule delay, and poor quality. Construction...

Towards an Autonomous Robot-based Laser Cladding Repair Process: A Framework for Damage Detection, Localization and Path Planning
DownloadFall 2021
With piling scientific evidence and growing public concerns about climate change and depletion of natural resources, policymakers are being forced to implement stringent environmental regulations. One such sector under scrutiny for the concerning pace at which it is ...

Towards Aquaponics 4.0: A Framework for Automation, IoT, and Smart Systems Implementations in Indoor Farming
DownloadFall 2020
Aquaponics is a farming method that promises to be a good alternative against the food and environmental problem the world is facing. It is a combination between aquaculture (farming of fish) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil), being a technique to grow plants with the aquaculture...
