Removal of Hepatitis B virus surface HBsAg and core HBcAg antigens using microbial fuel cells producing electricity from human urine (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, The Author(s). Microbial electrochemical technology is emerging as an alternative way of treating waste and converting this directly to electricity. Intensive research on these systems is ongoing but it currently lacks the evaluation of possi...

Disturbance observer-based neural network control of cooperative multiple manipulators with input saturation (2019)
Journal Article

In this paper, the complex problems of internal forces and position control are studied simultaneously and a disturbance observer-based radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) control scheme is proposed to: 1) estimate the unknown parameters acc...

Investigation of the hybrid effect in high performance quasi-isotropic thin-ply carbon/glass composites under tension (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This work studies the hybrid effect in high performance Quasi-Isotropic (QI) composite plates under tensile loading. The hybrid effect is the enhancement in strain at failure of the carbon fibre layers in the hybrid composite compared with a pure car...

Achieving gradual failure in hybrid composite laminates- progressing from tension to beding (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Most of the progress to-date about achieving gradual failure have been mainly focused on in-plane loading and particularly tension. In many real structural applications, the load is not pure in-plane and is a mix of in-plane and transverse. One of th...

Fatigue behaviour of un-notched and open-hole quasi-isotropic pseudo-ductile thin-ply carbon/glass hybrid laminates (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper investigates fatigue behaviour of a QI composite made from thin carbon plies and standard thickness glass plies. As illustrated in Fig. 2, this orientation-dispersed QI thin-ply carbon/glass hybrid laminate showed a successful pseudo-ducti...

The use of different feedback modalities and verbal collaboration in tele-robotic assistance (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper explores the effects of different feedback modalities (gripper orientation via peripheral (side) vision and haptic feedback) and verbal collaboration with the service-user on the performance of tele-operators in completing a tele-robotic a...

Experimental investigation of high velocity oblique impact and residual tensile strength of carbon/epoxy laminates (2019)
Journal Article

Composite components are required to be resilient against Foreign Object Damage (FOD) induced by localised high velocity impact events. Here an experimental investigation into high velocity oblique impacts and residual tensile strength of thin quasi-...
