Conference Proceeding
Soe, S., Robinson, M. R., Martin, P. S., Jones, M. D., & Theobald, P. (2014). Feasibility of using Duraform® flex lattice structures and additive manufacturing for optimising bicycle helmet design safety. In Sustainable Design and Manufacturing: SDM-14: Pre-Proceedings. , (278-291)

Bicycle helmets are designed to attenuate forces and accelerations experienced by the head during cycling accidents. An essential element of bicycle helmet design is, therefore, the appropriate manufacturing of energy dissipating components. The focu...

Design and optimisation of composite corrugated skin for a span morphing wing (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Xia, Y., Ajaj, R. M., & Friswell, M. (2014). Design and optimisation of composite corrugated skin for a span morphing wing. https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2014-0762

The concept of span morphing aircraft is attracting a lot of attention due to the demands to enhance flight performance and control authority. Corrugated laminates provide a good solution for the skin of a span morphing wing due to their extremely an...

Transient two-phase effects in an Aeroengine bearing chamber scavenge test rig (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Chandra, B., & Simmons, K. (2014). Transient two-phase effects in an Aeroengine bearing chamber scavenge test rig. In ASME 2014 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition - Volume 1: Advances in Aerospace Technology. , (V001T01A046). https://doi.org/10.1115/IMECE2014-37554

Copyright © 2014 by ASME. Aeroengine bearing chambers typically contain bearings, seals, shafts and static parts. Oil is introduced for lubrication and cooling and this creates a two phase flow environment that may contain droplets, mist, film, ligam...

Observer design for a class of nonlinear systems subject to unknown inputs (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Sayyaddelshad, S., S. Delshad, I., & Gustafsson, T. (2014). Observer design for a class of nonlinear systems subject to unknown inputs. . https://doi.org/10.1109/ECC.2014.6862555

© 2014 EUCA. We consider a novel method to design an observer for a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems with unknown inputs. Based on Lyapunov functional, we derive a sufficient condition for existence of the designed observer which requires sol...
