Detecting crop rows from video frames in real time is a fundamental challenge in the field of precision agriculture. Deep learning based semantic segmentation method, namely U-net, although successful in many tasks related ...
Compressed air is a powerful source of stored energy and is used in a variety of applications varying from painting to pressing, making it a versatile tool for manufacturers. Due to the high cost and energy consumption ...
In the last years, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the most important energy storage system for consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and smart grids. The development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on ...
A pulsatile flow loop can be suitable for measurement of in vitro blood pressure. The
pressure data collected from such a system can be used for evaluating stenosis in human
arteries, a condition in which the arterial ...
Laser cutting is a manufacturing technology that uses a focused laser beam to melt,
burn and vaporize materials, resulting in a high-quality cut edge. Although previous efforts
are primarily based on a trial-and-error ...
Advancement in modern technology has brought with it an advent of increased interest
in self-driving. The rapid growth in interest has caused a surge in the development of autonomous
vehicles which in turn brought with ...
With the recent advancement of computation and imaging technology, Image-based computational fluid dynamics (ICFD) has emerged as a great non-invasive capability to study biomedical flows. These modern technologies increase ...
The lane-keeping system in autonomous vehicles (AV) or even as a part of the advanced driving assistant system (ADAS) is known as one of the primary options of AVs and ADAS. The developed lane-keeping systems work on either ...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are endogenous byproducts of metabolic pathways that can be altered by a disease or condition, leading to an associated and unique VOC profile or signature. Current methodologies for VOC ...
Heat, cooling, and ventilation units are major energy consumers for commercial buildings, they can consume as much as 50% of the total annual power usage of a building. Coherent management of an air handling system’s energy ...
This study contributes to a better working knowledge of the equipment being used in a well-established combustion lab. In particular, several constant-volume combustion properties (e.g., time ignition delay, flame propagation, ...
Topology Optimization is an optimization technique used to synthesize models without any preconceived shape. These structures are synthesized keeping in mind the minimum compliance problems. With the rapid improvement in ...
Design optimization of composite structures is of importance in the automotive, aerospace, and energy industry. The majority of optimization methods applied to laminated composites consider linear or simplified nonlinear ...
This thesis provides an approach to incorporate natural composites like Flax Fiber using a resin with 30% bio-content to enhance the packaging boxes made of corrugated cardboard. The objective of introducing natural composite ...
Electrospinning is the process of ejecting a polymer melt or solution through a nozzle in the presence of a high-voltage electric field, which causes it to coalesce into a continuous filament with anywhere from a micron ...
This study proposes and evaluates a multi-functional carbon fiber reinforced composite with embedded Lithium-ion battery for its structural integrity concept. The comparison of versatile composite structures manufactured ...
Additively manufactured (AM) metals have been increasingly fabricated for structural
applications. However, a major hurdle preventing their extensive application is lack of understanding of their mechanical properties. ...
Obstacle detection, avoidance and path finding for autonomous vehicles requires precise
information of the vehicle’s system environment for faultless navigation and decision making. As such vision and depth perception ...
This study represents a cost-effective method to advance the physical and mechanical properties of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) prepreg composite materials,
where electrospun multiwalled carbon nanotubes ...
