A method for bidirectional active vibration control of structure using discrete-time sliding mode (2018)
Journal Article
Paul, S., Yu, W., & Jafari, R. (2018). A method for bidirectional active vibration control of structure using discrete-time sliding mode. IFAC-PapersOnLine, 51(13), 361-365. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ifacol.2018.07.305

© 2018 In this paper, a novel discrete-time sliding mode control is proposed in order to attenuate structural vibration due to earthquake forces. The analysis is based on the lateral-torsional vibration under the bidirectional waves. The proposed fuz...

Lyapunov observer/controller for stable haptic interaction (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Jafari, A., Singh, H., Karunanayaka, H., Ryu, J. H., Chong, J., & Etoundi, A. (2018). Lyapunov observer/controller for stable haptic interaction. . https://doi.org/10.1109/AIM.2018.8452311

© 2018 IEEE. Passivity has been the most common tool to achieve stability in haptic and teleoperation systems; however passivity-based approaches suffer from the conservativism of passivity criteria. Therefore, it is essential to have an approach whi... Read More about Lyapunov observer/controller for stable haptic interaction.

Applications of lot sizing (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Clark, A. (2018, August). Applications of lot sizing. Presented at 9th International Workshop on Lot Sizing, Itamambuca, Ubatuba SP, Brazil

Lot-sizing lies traditionally in the manufacturing sector, but it is applicable not just to related areas such as process industries and supply chains, but also to innovative areas such as humanitarian logistics. We look at some of the applications t... Read More about Applications of lot sizing.

Ethical considerations of (contextually) affective robot behaviour (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Van Maris, A., Zook, N., Caleb-Solly, P., Studley, M., Winfield, A., & Dogramadzi, S. (2018). Ethical considerations of (contextually) affective robot behaviour. In Proceedings of the International Conference on Robot Ethics and Standards. https://doi.org/10.13180/icres.2018.20-21.08.002

The use of social robots can bring many benefits, but raises ethical concerns as well. One of these concerns, emotional deception, was investigated in this research. First, affective robot behaviour is validated, followed by a user study to investiga... Read More about Ethical considerations of (contextually) affective robot behaviour.

A robust design of an innovative shaped rebar system using a novel uncertainty model (2018)
Journal Article
Aldoumani, N., Haddad Khodaparast, H., Giannetti, C., Abdallah, Z., Cameron, I. M., Friswell, M. I., & Sienz, J. (2018). A robust design of an innovative shaped rebar system using a novel uncertainty model. Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, 58(4), 1351-1365. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00158-018-2050-z

The current paper has investigated a newly developed re-bar system by implementing uncertainty models to optimise its geometry. The study of the design parameters of this re-bar system has been carried out utilising a novel uncertainty model that has...
