Adaptive fixed-time neural networks control for pure-feedback non-affine nonlinear systems with state constraints (2022)
Journal Article

A new fixed-time adaptive neural network control strategy is designed for pure-feedback non-affine nonlinear systems with state constraints according to the feedback signal of the error system. Based on the adaptive backstepping technology, the Lyapu... Read More about Adaptive fixed-time neural networks control for pure-feedback non-affine nonlinear systems with state constraints.

Durability of whole culm bamboo: Facts, misconceptions and the new ISO 22156 framework (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Durability of bamboo is one of the most important aspects to consider when designing and building with this nature-based material. Durable structures with bamboo are resilient, cost-effective and have a lower whole life-cycle environmental impact. Th...

Robust variable-step perturb-and-observe sliding mode controller for grid-connected wind-energy-conversion systems (2022)
Journal Article

In order to extract efficient power generation, a wind turbine (WT) system requires an accurate maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique. Therefore, a novel robust variable-step perturb-and-observe (RVS-P&O) algorithm was developed for the machi...

Retrofitting existing office buildings towards life-cycle net-zero energy and carbon (2022)
Journal Article

Background
Energy devices for achieving net-zero operating energy and carbon generally entails additional embodied energy and carbon during the production and disposal stages. For a building to be considered as truly life-cycle net-zero, the energy... Read More about Retrofitting existing office buildings towards life-cycle net-zero energy and carbon.

The stigma-vulnerability nexus and the framing of drug problems (2022)
Journal Article

This paper proposes a stigma-vulnerability nexus as a critical incursion into understandings of and responses to drug-related social problems. Considering stigma and vulnerability as sites of ostensibly empathetic interventions that aim to mitigate t... Read More about The stigma-vulnerability nexus and the framing of drug problems.

Evaluation of inter-modular connection behaviour under lateral loads: An experimental and numerical study (2022)
Journal Article

This study focuses on a comprehensive investigation of the inter-modular connection shear behaviour under lateral load using theoretical, experimental, and numerical analyses.
