A connected autonomous vehicle testbed: Capabilities, experimental processes and lessons learned (2020)
Journal Article

VENTURER was one of the first three UK government funded research and innovation projects on Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) and was conducted predominantly in the South West region of the country. A series of increasingly complex scenarios cond... Read More about A connected autonomous vehicle testbed: Capabilities, experimental processes and lessons learned.

Improved gradient descent algorithms for time-delay rational state-space systems: Intelligent search method and momentum method (2020)
Journal Article

This study proposes two improved gradient descent parameter estimation algorithms for rational state-space models with time-delay. These two algorithms, based on intelligent search method and momentum method, can simultaneously estimate the time-dela...

On the turbulence amplification in shock-wave/turbulent boundary layer interaction (2020)
Journal Article

The mechanism of turbulence amplification in shock-wave/boundary layer interactions is reviewed, and a new turbulence amplification mechanism is proposed based on the analysis of data from direct numerical simulation of an oblique shock-wave/flat-pla...

Assessment of stress-blended eddy simulation model for accurate performance prediction of vertical axis wind turbine (2020)
Journal Article

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to assess the ability of a stress-blended eddy simulation (SBES) turbulence model to predict the performance of a three-straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). The grid sensitivity study is conducted to ev... Read More about Assessment of stress-blended eddy simulation model for accurate performance prediction of vertical axis wind turbine.

Novel joint-drift-free scheme at acceleration level for robotic redundancy resolution with tracking error theoretically eliminated (2020)
Journal Article

In this article, three acceleration-level joint-drift-free (ALJDF) schemes for kinematic control of redundant manipulators are proposed and analyzed from perspectives of dynamics and kinematics with the corresponding tracking error analyses. First, t... Read More about Novel joint-drift-free scheme at acceleration level for robotic redundancy resolution with tracking error theoretically eliminated.

Effect of out-of-plane wrinkles in curved multi-directional carbon/epoxy laminates (2020)
Journal Article

Defects such as out-of-plane wrinkles are known to strongly affect in-plane strength but there has been very little research on their effect on out-of-plane properties. Experimental and numerical studies of multi-directional curved-beam laminates wer... Read More about Effect of out-of-plane wrinkles in curved multi-directional carbon/epoxy laminates.

Type-2 fuzzy PD/PID control of structures (2020)
Book Chapter

Fuzzy logic has obtained many attentions in control of structure because of its simple nature, robustness, and nonlinear mapping capability (Choi et al., Int J Solids Struct 42(16–17):4779–4794, [1]). Reigles and Symans (Structural control and health... Read More about Type-2 fuzzy PD/PID control of structures.

Bidirectional PD/PID control of structures (2020)
Book Chapter

The role of the structural control is to minimize the vibrations of the buildings under the effect of bidirectional earthquake via an effective external control force. In an active control system, it is essential to design an effective control strate... Read More about Bidirectional PD/PID control of structures.
