Bidirectional active control with vertical effect (2020)
Book Chapter

During the last years, protection of civil structures subjected to different kinds of dynamic loadings is a topic of great importance and interest within the areas of active control and structural safety.

Active structure control (2020)
Book Chapter

Historic studies related to earthquakes such as in 1985 Mexico City, 1994 Northridge, 1995 Kobe, 1999 Kocaeli, 2001 Bhuj, 2008 Sichuan, 2008 Chile, and 2012 Emilia expose that earthquakes have caused severe damage in civil structures all over the wor... Read More about Active structure control.

Active Control of Bidirectional Structural Vibration (2020)
Book

This book focuses on safeguarding civil structures and residents from natural hazards such as earthquakes through the use of active control. It proposes novel proportional-derivative (PD) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, as wel... Read More about Active Control of Bidirectional Structural Vibration.

Structure models in bidirection (2020)
Book Chapter

This chapter provides an overview of modeling of building structures under bidirectional earthquakes. Structural mechanics involves the study of vibrations incorporated in structures. In order to control a structure effectively, it is important to ha... Read More about Structure models in bidirection.

Model-based information navigation for engineering documents (2020)
Journal Article

Engineering and the manner in which engineers think is largely visual and functional, and yet engineers are typically provided with search engines that are text-based. While software based on a visual and functional ethos exist (CAD for example), whe... Read More about Model-based information navigation for engineering documents.

The effect of gurney flap on flow characteristics of vertical axis wind turbine (2020)
Journal Article

Recently, the Gurney Flap (GF) has been used to improve the performance of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) by enhancing its lift coefficient. Compared to HAWT, research on GF application for Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is very limited. More...

Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

To achieve safe close-proximity human-robot interaction , particularly for physically assitive tasks, robot motion planning needs to recognize and adapt to the behaviour of humans in the long-term. Generally, motion prediction with probabilistic conf... Read More about Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction.

Demand forecasting of short life cycle products using data mining techniques (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Products with short life cycles are becoming increasingly common in many industries due to higher levels of competition, shorter product development time and increased product diversity. Accurate demand forecasting of such products is crucial as it p... Read More about Demand forecasting of short life cycle products using data mining techniques.

Air-breathing cathode self-powered supercapacitive microbial fuel cell with human urine as electrolyte (2020)
Journal Article

In this work, a membraneless microbial fuel cell (MFC) with an empty volume of 1.5 mL, fed continuously with hydrolysed urine, was tested in supercapacitive mode (SC-MFC). In order to enhance the power output, a double strategy was used: i) a double...
