Causal history analysis of complex system dynamics
Complex system arises as a result of inter-dependencies between multiple components. The nonlinear interactions occurring in the system usually lead to emergent behaviors. The emergence prevails in many natural systems, such as the fractal dynamics of stream chemistry, the chaotic behavior of …

Modelling, design, and control of a spherical rolling robot
… these advantages come with significantly more complex system dynamics, with design parameters impacting system performance in sometimes non-intuitive ways. This thesis explores the effect of different design parameters such as sphere mass and center of mass location on the performance of a …

Improving understanding of alternative fuel vehicle market dynamics using interactive simulations
… and game play may even lead to enhanced systems thinking capabilities. Through this thesis, I undertake an experiment to test this proposition, recruiting respondents from Amazon's Mechanical Turk online workforce. Using a three-group pretest-post-test design, I randomly assign …

Motion design, control and implementation in robot manipulators
… to facilitate the characterisation of otherwise complex system dynamics. In one scheme an MRACS is used to force the robot to behave as if it were linear and decoupled, enabling simple model based dynamic tuning methods to be applied to the motion laws. Its promise as a technique is demonstrated, …

Event-triggered near optimal adaptive control of interconnected systems
<p>"Increased interest in complex interconnected systems like smart-grid, cyber manufacturing have attracted researchers to develop optimal adaptive control schemes to elicit a desired performance when the complex system dynamics are uncertain. In this dissertation, motivated by the fact that …

Resources, Economics and Technology Feasibility of Hybrid Offshore Energy Farm
… of offshore wind, wave and combined energy systems requires addressing various challenges, including complex system dynamics, optimal justifications (such as technology and location selection), grid integration and energy reliability and dispatchability. Although the concept of integrating …
