  1. 21. GPU-Based Path Optimization Algorithm in High-Resolution Cost Map with Kinodynamic Constraints : Using Non-Reversible Parallel Tempering

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Daniel Greenberg; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis introduces a GPU-accelerated algorithm for path planning under kinodynamic constraints, focusing on navigation of flying vehicles within a high-resolution cost map. The algorithm operates by creating dynamically feasible initial paths, and a non-reversible parallel tempering Markov chain Monte Carlo scheme to optimize the paths while adhering to the nonholonomic kinodynamical constraints.

  3. 22. Multiscale & Multiphysics Modelling of Thrust Pad (Air) Bearings

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Nipon Roy; [2023]
    Keywords : Finite element modelling; Air bearing; Multiphysics simulations; Air lubrication; surface texture; Topology optimization;

    Abstract : Without lubrication, machines are not imaginable to perform over a long period of time and complete their designated operations. With its omnipresent availability, the air is capable of functioning as a lubricant in long operations very efficiently. Moreover, thrust bearings support axial loads and transmit power at the same time under heavy loads. READ MORE

  4. 23. Faradaic Reactions in Capacitive Deionization : A Comparison of Desalination Performance in Flow-through Cell Architectures

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : John Bradley; Miranda Carlström; [2023]
    Keywords : Capacitive deionization; Faradaic reactions; Flow-through CDI; Upstream anode; Downstream anode; Desalination Performance; pH fluctuations;

    Abstract : Capacitive Deionization (CDI) is an energy-efficient desalination technology that utilizes an electric field to extract ions from water. Flow-through CDI systems show potential for superior desalination performance compared to traditional flow-by CDI; however, they face the challenge of increased occurrence of Faradaic reactions, leading to undesired by-products and reduced energy efficiency.

  5. 24. Stochastic Portfolio Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Alexander Tedestedt; Tobias Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : stochastic; portfolio; optimization;

    Abstract : The main purpose for an aggressive investor is to maximize the return in theinvestments. But in order to do so the risk should be taken into consideration.In this thesis, we utilize Markowitz portfolio theory, one of the standard modelsfor maximizing return while considering risk.

  6. 25. Analyzing Synthetic Spider Silk-based Diffraction Grids for the Sunshade Project

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Johanna D'Ciofalo Khodaverdian; Amira Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Sunshade project; Diffraction grating; Artificial spider silk; Climate change; Geoengineering;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change a proposed space-based geoengineering solutionis to screen off solar irradiance by placing a membrane in between the Earthand the Sun. The feasibility of such a project largely depends on minimizingthe mass of the shading screen and as an extension to the Sunshade projectthis thesis investigated how such a low-mass membrane could be designed.
