Attitudes to face transplantation: Results of a public engagement exercise at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition (2006)
Journal Article

Hettiaratchy and Butler (Lancet 2002;360:5-6) framed face transplantation as the next logical step on the reconstructive ladder for severe facial injury, in particular, pan-facial burns. The procedure formed the basis for a Royal College of Surgeons...

A new approach to reduce membrane and transverse shear locking for one-point quadrature shell elements: Linear formulation (2006)
Journal Article

In the last decade, one-point quadrature shell elements attracted many academic and industrial researchers because of their computational performance, especially if applied for explicit finite element simulations. Nowadays, one-point quadrature finit... Read More about A new approach to reduce membrane and transverse shear locking for one-point quadrature shell elements: Linear formulation.

Psychosocial outcomes derived from an acid burned population in Bangladesh, and comparison with Western norms (2006)
Journal Article

Assault by acid burns typically results in severe disfigurement, yet the psychosocial impact of this injury is so far unreported. This study provides the first empirical data using standardised assessment scales, from 44 acid burns survivors in Bangl...

A methodology for provably stable behaviour-based intelligent control (2006)
Journal Article

This paper presents a design methodology for a class of behaviour-based control systems, arguing its potential for application to safety critical systems. We propose a formal basis for subsumption architecture design based on two extensions to Lyapun... Read More about A methodology for provably stable behaviour-based intelligent control.

A high performance fuzzy logic architecture for UAV decision making (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The majority of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in operation today are not truly autonomous, but are instead reliant on a remote human pilot. A high degree of autonomy can provide many advantages in terms of cost, operational resources and safety. Ho... Read More about A high performance fuzzy logic architecture for UAV decision making.

A constraint-based modelling approach, to assess the capability of food processing equipment to handle product variation (2006)
Book Chapter

For design and development engineers, difficulties arise ensuring that existing manufacturing equipment has the potential to handle both large product variation and complexity of process. The food processing industry maintains the highest number of p...

Constraint modelling as a means for understanding the limitations of a design and its performance (2006)
Book Chapter

When new design tasks are undertaken, knowledge of the design area is often ill-understood and the appropriate design rules are unclear. What are more apparent are the constraints which place limits upon the allowable forms of feasible design. This p...

Development of a high-performance haptic telemanipulation system with dissimilar kinematics (2006)
Journal Article

This work addresses selected practical issues regarding the development of a telerobotic system for 6-d.o.f. tasks. The system consists of a hyper-redundant 10-d.o.f. haptic input device ViSHaRD10, a redundant 7-d.o.f. manipulator and a stereo vision...
