Integrating shelf life constraints in capacitated lot sizing and scheduling for perishable products (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Chen, S., Berretta, R., Mendes, A., & Clark, A. (2018, December). Integrating shelf life constraints in capacitated lot sizing and scheduling for perishable products. Paper presented at 26th ASOR National Conference for the Australian Society of Operations Research, Melbourne, Australia

In this study, we consider a multi-item capacitated lot sizing and scheduling problem for perishable food products, which have a fixed shelf life period due to depreciation issues, such as physical deterioration or perceived value loss. We incorporat... Read More about Integrating shelf life constraints in capacitated lot sizing and scheduling for perishable products.

Optimal distribution power system reconfiguration using Genetics Algorithms and Branch exchange method (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Nouri, H. (2018, October). Optimal distribution power system reconfiguration using Genetics Algorithms and Branch exchange method. Paper presented at CISTEM2018, Algiers, Algeria

This paper uses Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and the branch exchange method to solve the optimal reconfiguration in radial distribution systems subject to power loss reduction that determine the optimal switches. The GA is a relatively powerful intellige... Read More about Optimal distribution power system reconfiguration using Genetics Algorithms and Branch exchange method.

A review of current technical development in vertical axis wind turbine technologies and their braking system for low speed, urban and offshore areas application (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Syawitri, T., Yao, Y., & Chandra, B. (2018, October). A review of current technical development in vertical axis wind turbine technologies and their braking system for low speed, urban and offshore areas application. Paper presented at International Conference of Global Warming and Climate Change 2018, Bangkok, Thailand

Recently, there are growing interests of using Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) to harvest wind energy from low wind speed in urban areas to relatively high wind speed in offshore wind farms. Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) has been known to hav...

CFD simulation of three-straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine at low tip speed ratios (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Syawitri, T., Yao, Y., Chandra, B., & Yao, J. (2018, October). CFD simulation of three-straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine at low tip speed ratios. Paper presented at International Conference of Global Warming and Climate Change 2018, Bangkok, Thailand

This paper presents computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of a three-straight-bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) operating at a wind speed of 9 m/s and low Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) ranging from 1.44 to 3.3. The turbine blade has NACA 0021... Read More about CFD simulation of three-straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine at low tip speed ratios.

Small ceramic microbial fuel cell as a trigenerative system for electricity, organics degradation and urine filtration (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Gajda, I., Greenman, J., Santoro, C., Serov, A., Atanassov, P., & Ieropoulos, I. (2018, September). Small ceramic microbial fuel cell as a trigenerative system for electricity, organics degradation and urine filtration. Paper presented at AiMES 2018 : ECS and SMEQ Joint International Meeting, Cancun, Mexico

Bioelectrochemical systems are employing microbes as biocatalysts to convert waste into valuable resources. For example, a Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) utilises chemical energy locked in human urine into direct electrical current and can be scaled-up to...

Pseudo-ductility of unidirectional thin ply hybrid composites in longitudinal compression (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Suwarta, P., Czel, G., Fotouhi, M., Rycerz, J., & Wisnom, M. (2018, September). Pseudo-ductility of unidirectional thin ply hybrid composites in longitudinal compression. Presented at ASC 33rd Annual Technical Conference, Seattle, USA

The compression response of unidirectional thin-ply carbon (C) standard thickness S-glass (SG) hybrid composites is presented. Gradual failure up to high strain has been demonstrated for [SG1/(C1/SG1)17] and [SG1/(C2/SG1)17] hybrid configurations. T...
