Terminal sliding mode control for continuous stirred tank reactor (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 The Institution of Chemical Engineers. A continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is a typical example of chemical industrial equipment, whose dynamics represent an extensive class of second order nonlinear systems. It has been witnessed that de... Read More about Terminal sliding mode control for continuous stirred tank reactor.

Bio-inspired design to support reduced energy consumption via the ‘light weighting’ of machine system elements (2015)
Journal Article

A potential technique to reduce the energy required to actuate moving parts in a machine is to reduce their mass. This paper presents initial research attempting to answer this question for robotic arm application using a biologically inspired approa...

Numerical optimisation of thermal comfort improvement for indoor environment with occupants and furniture (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Indoor thermal environment of a 3-D ventilated room was studied by computational fluid dynamics to understand correlations between heat generation, ventilation velocity and thermal sensation indices. The exis... Read More about Numerical optimisation of thermal comfort improvement for indoor environment with occupants and furniture.

Towards verifiably ethical robot behaviour (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Ensuring that autonomous systems work ethically is both complex and difficult. However, the idea of having an additional ‘governor’ that assesses options the system has, and prunes them to select the most ethical choices is well understood. Recent wo...

Innovative optical non-contact measurement of respiratory function using photometric stereo (2015)
Thesis

Pulmonary functional testing is very common and widely used in today's clinical environment for testing lung function. The contact based nature of a Spirometer can cause breathing awareness that alters the breathing pattern, affects the amount of air...

Stable admittance type haptic interaction based on time domain passivity approach (2015)
Journal Article

In this paper, we propose a stable and high transparent admittance haptic display even in free space haptic rendering. Because considering admittance haptic rendering as a one-port network is not enough to detect the active energy, new representation...

Prediction of delamination growth in laminated composites using acoustic emission and Cohesive Zone Modeling techniques (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Mode I delamination is the most common failure mode in laminated composite materials. Determination of the crack growth has a vital role in the damage tolerance analyses of the structures which suffer from this type of damage. Th...

Assessment of the low-dissipation monotonicity-preserving scheme in a series of DNS of shock-wave/turbulent boundary layer interactions (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The seventh-order low-dissipation monotonicity-preserving scheme developed by Fang et al. (Journal of Scientific Computing, 2013, 56:67-95) was assessed in direct numerical simulations (DNS) of isotropic turbulence and channel flow. The influence of...

Mixing flow characteristics for a transverse sonic jet injecting into a supersonic crossflow (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Detached-eddy simulation (DES) of a sonic jet flow issuing perpendicularly into a supersonic crossflow is presented. The supersonic boundary layer flow has conditions of incoming Mach number 1.6 and Reynolds number Reδ 1.08×105, based on the free-str...

Large-eddy simulation of a three-dimensional hypersonic shock wave turbulent boundary layer interaction of a single fin (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The large-eddy simulation (LES) of a hypersonic flow passing a single-fin at Mach 5 and Re∞=3.7×107/m was conducted and the three-dimensional (3D) shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interaction (SWTBLI) was studied in the present paper. This is prob... Read More about Large-eddy simulation of a three-dimensional hypersonic shock wave turbulent boundary layer interaction of a single fin.
