Abstract:

This project treats life as a system of systems. As with all systems of systems, life can be vastly improved with the use of Systems Engineering tools. Architectures, Project Management, Quality, Lean Thinking, and Ethics play key roles in Systems Engineering. The tools of those practices can be easily manipulated to organize, simplify, and improve one's life. The wants and needs of individuals can be translated into requirements and further derived into a full requirements document. Specifications can be made and requirements can be verified. The interactions between different aspects of life

Abstract:

Making correct design decisions during the early stages of the engineering design process is increasingly seen to be important, as changes during the later stage can be costly. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used as a method to evaluate the design from 'cradle to grave'. In concept design, decisions are made that have a most significant influence on the life cycle, but at this stage the lack of detail makes LCA very difficult if not impossible. This thesis introduces a method that enables an 'order-of-magnitude' life cycle assessment during the concept stage of the design process. This is achi

Abstract:

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool specifically developed for quantifying and assessing the environmental burden of a product across its entire life cycle, thus providing powerful support for sustainable product design. There exists a geographical imbalance in the adoption and distribution of LCA studies, with a notably poor penetration into developing countries, resulting from a lack of technical expertise, reliable data, and an inability to engage with the key issues of developing countries. These challenges are particularly prevalent in waste management. The limitations in current LCA ca

Innovative human-computer interaction paradigms with minimum motor control provide realistic interactions and have potential for use in assistive technologies. Among the human modalities, the eyes and the brain are the two modalities with minimum motor requirements. Most of the existing assistive technologies based on tracking the eyes (such as electrooculography and videooculography) are intrusive, limited to the laboratory environment and restrictive or are not accurate enough for real-life applications. The same limitations apply to brain activity monitoring systems such as electroencephalo

Hollow Cathodes (HCs) are of primary importance in the field of electric space propulsion, being used as electron sources in ion and Hall-effect thrusters. Hence, their lifetime is a key factor in all these applications. HCs have demonstrated the capability of providing up to 30,000 hours of operation, whereas no direct experimental data exist above this limit. The importance of HC lifetime is a growing issue for deep space missions using propulsive systems based on ion or Hall-effect thrusters that may require longer lifetimes than those demonstrated up to now.

Abstract:

The design process of aerospace systems is becoming more and more complex. As the process is progressively becoming enterprise-wide, it involves multiple vendors and encompasses the entire life-cycle of the system, as well as a system-of-systems perspective. The amount of data and information generated under this paradigm has increased exponentially creating a difficult situation as it pertains to data storage, management, and retrieval. Furthermore, the data themselves are not suitable or adequate for use in most cases and must be translated into knowledge with a proper level of abstraction.

Unlike many existing degradation models that rely on the existence of a historical sample of complete degradation signals, our modeling framework is well-suited fo

Health can be influenced by a number of factors and there is evidence to suggest that environmental cues during early-life stages greatly affect disease susceptibility in adulthood. Incidences of bone disease are becoming increasingly prevalent and it is believed that bone health in later life may be determined during foetal and neonatal stages. Currently, surrogate measures of bone strength (bone mineral density and content) are used to assess the risk to fracture, but are acknowledged to predict only a proportion of clinical cases. Therefore, it is important to understand and develop supplem

Abstract:

Renewable energies had accomplish to become part of a new era in the energy development area, making people able to stop relying on fossil fuels. Nevertheless the environmental impacts of these new energy sources also require to be quantified in order to review how many benefits these new technologies have for the environment. In this project the use of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) will be implemented in order to quantify the environmental impact of wave energy, an LCA is a technique for assessing various aspects with the development of a product and its potential impact throughout a product’
