Direct measurement of the capillary pressure characteristics of water-air-gas diffusion layer systems for PEM fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2008-10-01)A method and apparatus for measuring the relationship between air-water capillary pressure and water saturation in PEMFC gas diffusion layers is described. Capillary pressure data for water injection and withdrawal from ... -
The Effect of an Axial Catalyst Distribution on the Performance of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and Inverse Hysteresis Phenomena during CO and C3H6 Oxidation
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-19)The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) is a key component in the exhaust after-treatment system of diesel engines. In this study two aspects of a DOC were investigated: catalyst distribution and reactant species interactions. ... -
Grid Filters for Local Nonlinear Image Restoration
(University of Waterloo, 1998)A new approach to local nonlinear image restoration is described, based on approximating functions using a regular grid of points in a many-dimensional space. Symmetry reductions and compression of the sparse grid make ... -
Micromechanics of Fiber Networks Including Nonlinear Hysteresis and its Application to Multibody Dynamic Modeling of Piano Mechanisms
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-11)Many engineering applications make use of fiber assemblies under compression. Unfortunately, this compression behavior is difficult to predict, due to nonlinear compliance, hysteresis, and anelasticity. The main objective ... -
Modelling Hysteresis in the Bending of Fabrics
(University of Waterloo, 2002)This thesis presents a model of fabric bending hysteresis. The hysteresis model is designed to reproduce the fabric bending measurements taken by the Kawabata Evaluation System (KES) and the model parameters can be derived ...
