A review on the use of passive flow control devices as performance enhancement of lift-type vertical axis wind turbines (2022)
Journal Article

This article provides a comprehensive review about passive flow control devices (PFCDs) implemented in lift-type vertical axis wind turbine (LVAWT), focusing on the underlying flow physics mechanisms and to what extents they can improve the LVAWT per...

The effects of a morphed trailing-edge flap on the aeroacoustic and aerodynamic performance of a 30P30N Aerofoil (2022)
Journal Article

This paper presents initial results on the aeroacoustic and aerodynamic effects of morphing the trailing-edge flap of the 30P30N aerofoil, over five flap deflections (5–25◦ ), at an 8◦ angle of attack and a Reynolds number of Re = 9.2 × 105 . The Ffo... Read More about The effects of a morphed trailing-edge flap on the aeroacoustic and aerodynamic performance of a 30P30N Aerofoil.

Voices in a pandemic: Listening to the voices of children in a pandemic through arts-based, deep mapping methods adapted for online delivery (2022)
Journal Article

The VIP-CLEAR (Voices in a Pandemic—Children’s Lockdown Experience Applied to Recovery) project aims to explore younger children’s experiences of lockdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to inform their recovery and resilience to future social s...

Revisiting voyager 2's trajectory (2022)
Journal Article

This paper presents reconstruction of Voyager 2 trajectory to examine how the mission was optimised for fuel and Time of Flight(TOF), as well as to find out if there is a more efficient trajectory for the full Earth-Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus-Neptune (EJS...

The effect of transverse compressive stresses on tensile failure of carbon fibre/epoxy composites (2022)
Journal Article

A novel test configuration has been developed to induce combined stress-states of in-plane longitudinal tension and transverse compression in thin-ply, unidirectional (UD) composite layers. Three different multi-directional laminates have been design... Read More about The effect of transverse compressive stresses on tensile failure of carbon fibre/epoxy composites.

A new configuration of composite nonlinear feedback control for nonlinear systems with input saturation (2022)
Journal Article

This study proposes a U-control–based Composite Nonlinear Feedback (U-CNF) design procedure. This U-CNF control establishes a double feedback loop framework for generalisation and simplification in designing the CNF control systems. Two controllers,...

Response of gyroid lattice structures to impact loads (2022)
Journal Article

This paper reports on a comprehensive investigation of gyroid lattice structures subject to impact loading. AlSi10Mg samples were manufactured using selective laser melting (SLM) and mechanically characterized using Digital Image Correlation (DIC). U...

Towards machine vision for insect welfare monitoring and behavioural insights (2022)
Journal Article

Machine vision has demonstrated its usefulness in the livestock industry in terms of improving welfare in such areas as lameness detection and body condition scoring in dairy cattle. In this article, we present some promising results of applying stat... Read More about Towards machine vision for insect welfare monitoring and behavioural insights.

Microbial fuel cell compared to a chemostat (2022)
Journal Article

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) represent a green and sustainable energy conversion system that integrate bacterial biofilms within an electrochemical two-electrode set-up to produce electricity from organic waste. In this review, we focus on a novel exp... Read More about Microbial fuel cell compared to a chemostat.

A framework for composite layup skill learning and generalizing through teleoperation (2022)
Journal Article

In this article, an impedance control-based framework for human-robot composite layup skill transfer was developed, and the human-in-the-loop mechanism was investigated to achieve human-robot skill transfer. Although there are some works on human-rob... Read More about A framework for composite layup skill learning and generalizing through teleoperation.
