Development Of A Model-Free Adaptive Steering Control For Autonomous Vehicles Path Tracking Using Cost-Based Gain Adaptation With Integral Action
Download2022-06-01
This paper presents a model-free adaptive steering control algorithm for path tracking of autonomous vehicles. To design steering controllers for autonomous vehicle path tracking, a mathematical model is needed, but it may have high nonlinearity and complexity that increases computation time and...

Simmons, Scott C., Lubitz, William David
Archimedes screw generators are a small-scale, eco-friendly hydropower technology that are commonly implemented in diversion schemes. The technology has been in use for thousands of years for pumping fluids and granular solids and so its design is largely influenced by Archimedes screw pump...

Numerical and experimental comparison of confinement effects on a Fully-Passive Oscillating-Foil Turbine
Download2022-06-01
Gunther, K., Mann, S., Dumas, G., Oshkai, P.
A numerical and experimental comparison of a fully-passive oscillating-foil turbine operating in different confinement levels is conducted to assert how well CFD-based FSI simulations can predict the performances of the turbine. It is found the present 3D URANS simulations match reasonably well...

Gibb, K., Kehoe, P., Hurley, J., Aubertin, C., Greenwood, K., Ibey, A., Redpath, S., Chan, A.D.C., Green, J.R., Langlois, R.G.
During transport to critical care centres, neonatal patients can be exposed to elevated levels of vibration which may pose a risk to the patients’ health. In Ontario, a standardized Neonatal Patient Transport System (NPTS) has been implemented in ground and air ambulances, and studies to...

THERMOHYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE OF LIQUID METALS BASED MICROCHANNEL HEAT SINK USING NUMERICAL APPROACH
Download2022-06-01
The continuous miniaturization of microchips in semiconductor industries has been posing a challenge on microscale thermal management systems for removal of high heat flux. Traditional air-cooling methods cannot meet the demands for heat dissipation for integrated circuits. In this regard,...

Validation of a Numerical Model for Reciprocating Thermodynamic Machines by Examining Heat Transfer in a Low Temperature Difference Stirling Engine
Download2022-06-01
Lottmann, Matthias, Nobes, David S.
A third order two-dimensional numerical model for reciprocating thermodynamic machines is validated using a low temperature difference Stirling engine with 15 Watt shaft power and source and sink temperatures of 150 °C and 5 °C. The work is limited to the thermodynamic model at steady state. The...

Plamondon, Carson, Bessa, Guilherme M., Nobes, David S.
This paper outlines the design of an unsteady flowmeter for ex-vivo heart perfusion applications. In order to determine the performance of a given heart, the flowrate in the system must be recorded. The proposed design is based on an orifice plate flowmeter comprising three pressure transducers...
