Factory digital twinning with model driven engineering methodology (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Zaidi, Y., & Sahu, S. (2023, December). Factory digital twinning with model driven engineering methodology. Presented at Model Driven Engineering Network (MDENet) Annual Symposium 2023, London

In the contemporary landscape of industrial manufacturing, the concept of a digital twin has emerged as a tool bridging the gap between physical systems and their virtual counterparts. The main aim of this project was to delve into the concept, givin... Read More about Factory digital twinning with model driven engineering methodology.

Digital thread: The missing link (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Zaidi, Y. (2022, December). Digital thread: The missing link. Presented at Model Driven Engineering Network (MDENet) Annual Symposium 2022, King's College London and online

An area where model-driven engineering methodologies offer the potential to accelerate digital engineering in different development phases is the connectivity of models and lifecycle activities via a digital thread. However, we need to understand how... Read More about Digital thread: The missing link.

Framework for developing digital twin prototypes (2022)

We analyze the functionality of the landing system of a regional aircraft in the extension and cruise flight modes and validate safety requirements through the fault tree analysis. The main landing gear system is captured in the electromechanical–flu... Read More about Validation of the safety requirements of the landing gear using fault tree analysis.

Environmental analysis and optimisation of an in-orbit shape memory alloy deployment mechanism (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Zaidi, Y., & Wright, C. (2021). Environmental analysis and optimisation of an in-orbit shape memory alloy deployment mechanism

This study presents the analysis and optimisation of a novel deployment mechanism that utilises the shape memory effect inherent in Nickel-Titanium alloys, namely Nitinol. The mechanism is currently designed to secure and deploy solar panels on board... Read More about Environmental analysis and optimisation of an in-orbit shape memory alloy deployment mechanism.
