During the last years, protection of civil structures subjected to different kinds of dynamic loadings is a topic of great importance and interest within the areas of active control and structural safety.

Type-2 fuzzy PD/PID control of structures (2020)
Book Chapter
Yu, W., & Paul, S. (2020). Type-2 fuzzy PD/PID control of structures. In Active Control of Bidirectional Structural Vibration (57-78). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-46650-3_4

Fuzzy logic has obtained many attentions in control of structure because of its simple nature, robustness, and nonlinear mapping capability (Choi et al., Int J Solids Struct 42(16–17):4779–4794, [1]). Reigles and Symans (Structural control and health... Read More about Type-2 fuzzy PD/PID control of structures.

Bidirectional PD/PID control of structures (2020)
Book Chapter
Yu, W., & Paul, S. (2020). Bidirectional PD/PID control of structures. In Active Control of Bidirectional Structural Vibration (31-56). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-46650-3_3

The role of the structural control is to minimize the vibrations of the buildings under the effect of bidirectional earthquake via an effective external control force. In an active control system, it is essential to design an effective control strate... Read More about Bidirectional PD/PID control of structures.

Structure models in bidirection (2020)
Book Chapter
Yu, W., & Paul, S. (2020). Structure models in bidirection. In Active Control of Bidirectional Structural Vibration (19-29). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-46650-3_2

This chapter provides an overview of modeling of building structures under bidirectional earthquakes. Structural mechanics involves the study of vibrations incorporated in structures. In order to control a structure effectively, it is important to ha... Read More about Structure models in bidirection.

Active Control of Bidirectional Structural Vibration (2020)
Book
Yu, W., & Paul, S. (2020). Active Control of Bidirectional Structural Vibration. Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-46650-3

This book focuses on safeguarding civil structures and residents from natural hazards such as earthquakes through the use of active control. It proposes novel proportional-derivative (PD) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, as wel... Read More about Active Control of Bidirectional Structural Vibration.

Model-based information navigation for engineering documents (2020)
Journal Article
Jones, D., Snider, C., Matthews, J., Yon, J., Barrie, J., Robinson, K., & Hicks, B. (2020). Model-based information navigation for engineering documents. Computers in Industry, 121, 103254. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compind.2020.103254

Engineering and the manner in which engineers think is largely visual and functional, and yet engineers are typically provided with search engines that are text-based. While software based on a visual and functional ethos exist (CAD for example), whe... Read More about Model-based information navigation for engineering documents.

The effect of gurney flap on flow characteristics of vertical axis wind turbine (2020)
Journal Article
Syawitri, T. P., Yao, Y. F., Yao, J., & Chandra, B. (2020). The effect of gurney flap on flow characteristics of vertical axis wind turbine. International Journal of Modern Physics B, 34(14n16), Article 2040107. https://doi.org/10.1142/S0217979220401074

Recently, the Gurney Flap (GF) has been used to improve the performance of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) by enhancing its lift coefficient. Compared to HAWT, research on GF application for Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is very limited. More...

Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Camilleri, A., Hong, J., Dogramadzi, S., & Caleb-Solly, P. (2020, May). Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction. Presented at ICRA 2020

To achieve safe close-proximity human-robot interaction , particularly for physically assitive tasks, robot motion planning needs to recognize and adapt to the behaviour of humans in the long-term. Generally, motion prediction with probabilistic conf... Read More about Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction.

Demand forecasting of short life cycle products using data mining techniques (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Afifi, A. (2020). Demand forecasting of short life cycle products using data mining techniques. In Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations. AIAI 2020

Products with short life cycles are becoming increasingly common in many industries due to higher levels of competition, shorter product development time and increased product diversity. Accurate demand forecasting of such products is crucial as it p... Read More about Demand forecasting of short life cycle products using data mining techniques.
