The use of deep learning to solve the inverse problem of ground penetrating radar and its application to potato farming (2024)
Thesis

This thesis reviews current analytical approaches to solving the inverse problem for Ground Penetrating Radar and then walks the reader through the creation of a 2D image creation method with the aim of demonstrating that the use of deep learning to...

A novel decision-making architecture for human-robot collaboration: From mirror neurons to conflict-free interactions (2023)
Thesis

Inspired by the role of mirror neurons and the importance of predictions in joint action, a novel decision-making structure is proposed, designed and tested for both individual and dyadic action during real-world human-human and human-robot experimen...

Methodologies and practice for improving measurement in urodynamics – quantifying accuracy, quality and contractility (2023)
Thesis

Any clinical practitioner using a physiological measurement relies on assurance of the quality of that measurement. In urodynamics, the measurement of lower urinary tract function, poor quality results leading to incorrect diagnoses could result in m...

Control of friction by imposing vibration between sliding surfaces and its influence on the efficiency of gears (2022)
Thesis

The worm and wheel type gear arrangement is the usual choice for heavy duty applications requiring large operating torques. However, it is dominated by the sliding action of gear teeth which causes high frictional losses that significantly impact eff...

Investigation of flow augmentation and dynamic stall control devices as performance enhancement of lift-driven vertical axis wind turbine using high-fidelity CFD methods (2022)
Thesis

This study performs an investigation of dynamic stall control (Gurney flap (GF)) and flow augmentation (straight upstream deflector (SUD)) devices to improve the performance of lift-driven Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) as they can improve the pow...
