Cognitive design framework for multidisciplinary development of high-integrity avionics systems (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2018 IEEE. The development of dependable High-Integrity Avionics Systems (HIASs) is a time-consuming process (costly and risky) that entails a multidisciplinary team. Agility and dependability at early development stages can significantly reduce co... Read More about Cognitive design framework for multidisciplinary development of high-integrity avionics systems.

Modelling of a Bio-Inspired Knee Joint and Design of an Energy Saving Exoskeleton Based on Performance Maps Optimisation for Condylar Knee Prosthetics (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2018 IEEE. The process of designing bio-inspired knee joint for prosthetics/exoskeletons has been a challenging issue due to the complicated relationships between the performance criteria and the link lengths of the design space, or workspace in th...

Experimental determination of Through-Thickness Compression (TTC) enhancement factor for Mode II fracture energy (2018)
Journal Article

Mode II fracture energy, GIIC, is a critical parameter for determining the propagation of delamination in composite laminates. Its value can be affected by Through-Thickness Compression (TTC) stress acting on the crack tip and here this effect has be...
