Constraint-based simulation of carton folding operations (2010)
Journal Article
Mullineux, G., & Matthews, J. (2010). Constraint-based simulation of carton folding operations. Computer-Aided Design, 42(3), 257-265. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cad.2009.12.003

Cartons are a common means for packaging a variety of items. These are usually "erected" by dedicated machines which fold the carton into shape from a flat net. When there is a need to use new forms of cartons, dedicated machinery may not be appropri... Read More about Constraint-based simulation of carton folding operations.

A generalized procedure in designing recurrent neural network identification and control of time-varying-delayed nonlinear dynamic systems (2010)
Journal Article
Wu, X., Zhang, J., & Zhu, Q. (2010). A generalized procedure in designing recurrent neural network identification and control of time-varying-delayed nonlinear dynamic systems. Neurocomputing, 73(7-9), 1376-1383. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2009.12.002

In this study, a generalized procedure in identification and control of a class of time-varying-delayed nonlinear dynamic systems is developed. Under the framework, recurrent neural network is developed to accommodate the on-line identification, whic...

Robust finite-time control approach for robotic manipulators (2010)
Journal Article
Gao, F., Zhao, D., Li, S., & Zhu, Q. (2010). Robust finite-time control approach for robotic manipulators. IET Control Theory and Applications, 4(1), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-cta.2008.0014

In this study, a new robust finite-time stability control approach for robot systems is developed based on finite-time Lyapunov stability principle and proved with backstepping method. The corresponding stability analysis is presented to lay a founda... Read More about Robust finite-time control approach for robotic manipulators.

Mathematical modelling of signalling in a two-ligand G-protein coupled receptor system: Agonist-antagonist competition (2010)
Journal Article
Bridge, L., King, J. R., Hill, S. J., & Owen, M. R. (2010). Mathematical modelling of signalling in a two-ligand G-protein coupled receptor system: Agonist-antagonist competition. Mathematical Biosciences, 223(2), 115-132. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mbs.2009.11.005

A new mathematical model of cell signalling for a two-ligand G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) system is presented. This model extends the single-ligand cubic ternary complex to account for the possibility of an agonist and an antagonist competing fo...

Emergency networking: famine relief in ant colonies (2010)
Journal Article
Planqué, R., Sendova-Franks, A. B., Hayward, R. K., Wulf, B., Klimek, T., James, R., …Franks, N. R. (2010). Emergency networking: famine relief in ant colonies. Animal Behaviour, 79(2), 473-485. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2009.11.035

Resource distribution is fundamental to social organization, but it poses a dilemma. How to facilitate the spread of useful resources but restrict harmful substances? This dilemma reaches a zenith in famine relief. Survival depends on distributing fo... Read More about Emergency networking: famine relief in ant colonies.

Puncture fracture in an aluminum beverage can (2010)
Journal Article
Yoon, J. W., Cardoso, R. P., & Dick, R. E. (2010). Puncture fracture in an aluminum beverage can. International Journal of Impact Engineering, 37(2), 150-160. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijimpeng.2009.06.004

Puncture can be defined as a dynamic contact between a foreign object and a container, which causes the wall of the container to fail. This failure can lead to either a leak or a rupture. In this work, a crack propagation method with multiple arbitra... Read More about Puncture fracture in an aluminum beverage can.

Using 3D differential forms to characterize a pigmented lesion in vivo (2010)
Journal Article
