The UK’s first climate change risk assessment and the implications for the coast (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In 2008 the Climate Change Act was passed into law in the UK. This provides a legally binding framework for reducing carbon emissions. Much of the focus of the Act is on reducing emissions and hence on mitigation measures, however, the Act also req...

Using formal methods to model hybrid manufacturing processes (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The on-going industrial trend towards high value sustainable manufacturing has led to the emergence of hybrid manufacturing processes and resources. This new generation of processes and resources combine the capabilities of a number of older technolo... Read More about Using formal methods to model hybrid manufacturing processes.

Multi-objective optimisation of cell-array circuit evolution (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we have investigated the efficacy of applying multi-objective optimisation to Cartesian genetic programming (CGP) when used for evolution of cell-array configurations. A cell-array is a proposed type of custom FPGA, where digital circui... Read More about Multi-objective optimisation of cell-array circuit evolution.

PEM fuel cell voltage-tracking using artificial neural network (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Transients in load and consequently in stack current have a significant impact on the performance and durability of fuel cell. The delay exciting in auxiliary equipments in fuel cell system such as pumps, heaters, back pressures will degrade system p...

Current stabilization in fuel cell/battery hybrid system using fuzzy-based controller (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In recent years, fuel cells are emerging as main power sources for most applications. These sources have slow dynamic response and should be protected against current impulses. These transients will be harmful to the membrane electrode assembly (MEA)... Read More about Current stabilization in fuel cell/battery hybrid system using fuzzy-based controller.

Conversational gestures in human-robot interaction (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The human sciences have demonstrated that gesture is a critical element of human communication. While existing graphical solutions are appropriate for virtual agents, solving arm trajectories for physically embodied robots requires that we consider t...

Beat gesture generation rules for human-robot interaction (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In order for anthropomorphic robots to communicate with people in a human-like way they need to produce gestures along with speech. Beat gestures are a key category of gestures, accompanying emphasis and timing of talk. The standard approach for auto... Read More about Beat gesture generation rules for human-robot interaction.

Numerical investigation of aeroelasticity of wind turbines using a nonlinear frequency domain solution method
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An extensive numerical investigation of the aeroelasticity of wind turbines is presented in the present paper. A highly efficient nonlinear frequency domain solution method is employed for this analysis. A complete wind turbine model including a towe...

Numerical investigation of the influence of acceleration and deceleration on the aerodynamic characteristics of an oscillating wing aerofoil operating at transonic and hypersonic speeds
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The aerodynamic characteristics of a hypersonic aircraft are strongly influenced by the accelerating and decelerating motions of the body. This impact can be more complicated when the oscillatory motion of the body in a complex non-linear mode is inv...
