Vibration isolation performance enhancement using hybrid nonlinear inerter and negative stiffness based on linkage mechanism (2023)
Journal Article

Purpose: To suppress the low-frequency vibration of dynamic systems such as underwater vehicles, this research proposes a novel geometrically nonlinear vibration isolator using hybrid nonlinear inertial andnegative stiffness element. Methods: A sprin... Read More about Vibration isolation performance enhancement using hybrid nonlinear inerter and negative stiffness based on linkage mechanism.

An experimental investigation of the impact response and post-impact shear buckling behaviour of hybrid composite laminates (2023)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the effect of transverse impact loading on the in-plane shear behaviour of two laminate configurations. The extensive experimental studies consider a pure carbon laminate (type 1) and a novel X-shaped carbon/glass laminate (ty...

A comprehensive review of scab disease detection on Rosaceae family fruits via UAV imagery (2023)
Journal Article

Disease detection in plants is essential for food security and economic stability. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery and artificial intelligence (AI) are valuable tools for it. The purpose of this review is to gather several methods used by our p... Read More about A comprehensive review of scab disease detection on Rosaceae family fruits via UAV imagery.

Stiffness tailoring in sinusoidal lattice structures through passive topology morphing using contact connections (2023)
Journal Article

Structures with adaptive stiffness characteristics present an opportunity to meet competing design requirements, thus achieving greater efficiency by the reconfiguration of their topology. Here, the potential of using changes in the topology of plana... Read More about Stiffness tailoring in sinusoidal lattice structures through passive topology morphing using contact connections.

Impact of feedstock dilution on the performance of urine-fed ceramic and membrane-less microbial fuel cell cascades designs (2023)
Journal Article

Recent advancements in the microbial fuel cell (MFC) field have led to the deployment of pilot-scale autonomous sanitation systems converting the organic content of urine into electricity to power lights in decentralised areas. Two designs have been... Read More about Impact of feedstock dilution on the performance of urine-fed ceramic and membrane-less microbial fuel cell cascades designs.
