Characterization and Size Optimization of Additively Manufactured Flexible Piezoresistive Sensors for Vibration Strain Sensing
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-21)Flexible piezoresistive strain sensors have promising applications in areas such as wearables and soft robotics. For sensing dynamic strains, such as a runner’s gait or a slipping object held by a robotic gripper, these ... -
Design and Implementation of a High Speed Cable-Based Planar Parallel Manipulator
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Robotic automation has been the major driving force in modern industrial developments. High speed pick-and-place operations find their place in many manufacturing applications. The goal of this project is to develop ... -
Design Optimization and Combustion Simulation of Two Gaseous and Liquid-Fired Combustors
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-17)The growing effect of combustion pollutant emission on the environment and increasing petroleum prices are driving development of design methodologies for clean and efficient industrial combustion technologies. The design ... -
Design Optimization for Spatial Arrangement of Used Nuclear Fuel Containers
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-27)Canada's proposed deep geological repository is a multiple-barrier system designed to isolate used nuclear fuel containers (UFCs) indefinitely with no release of radionuclides for at least one million years. Placing UFCs ... -
Developing design option assessment methods for high-rise residential building adaptation projects
(University of Waterloo, 2021-04-01)Adapting existing buildings is complex, but it can reduce the ratio of operating-to-embodied energy and the amount of demolition and construction waste. There has been a growing interest in the adaptation of existing ... -
Forging Preform Design Optimization for Structural Magnesium Components
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-30)An increasing emphasis on emissions reduction and improved fuel economy is leading to a broader utilization of magnesium (Mg) alloys in vehicle light-weighting applications. Mg alloys are the lightest structural metals and ...
