Engineering Kinesthetic Perceptions: The Restoration of Movement Sense in Upper Limb Prosthetic Use
DownloadFall 2017
Upper limb movement yields rich streams of sensory information that are cortically integrated with motor commands. This is drastically altered in those with upper limb (UL) amputation as sensations of touch and movement are inherently lost. This absence impedes prosthetic control by forcing...

Spring 2011
Generally, a design process involves multiple modeling and analysis interaction iterations accommodating changes and verifications. It is convenient to develop generative programs to automate some tedious and repetitive processes in order to minimize cycle times and the engineer’s routine efforts...

Enhancing Heat Pipe Efficacy: Thermosyphon Analysis, New Generation Refrigerant Transition, and Design Optimization
DownloadFall 2023
The efficacy of heat pipes is often constrained by their ability to effectively return condensed liquid from the condenser to the evaporator section through capillary pumping. However, when the heat pipe wick is absent or flooded due to overfilling, capillary pumping becomes irrelevant, resulting...

Environmental and Performance Analysis of a 5kW Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine in East Central Alberta
DownloadSpring 2012
This thesis investigates the environmental and performance results of a 5kW horizontal axis wind turbine installed in east-central Alberta. Life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology was utilized to perform a comparative environmental impact study on three sizes of small wind turbines installed in...
