Design Output Control TLB Converter for DC Drive Applications with photovoltaic power supply (2017)
Journal Article
Samadi, M., & Rakhtala, M. (2017). Design Output Control TLB Converter for DC Drive Applications with photovoltaic power supply. Journal of Solar Energy Research, 2(3), 105-110

Using conventional boost converter in photovoltaic system as the interface between the photovoltaic panel and the consumer is widely practiced. In this paper, instead of using conventional boost converter, the three-level boost converter (TLBC) has b...

Time-dependent thermomechanical creep behavior of FGM thick hollow cylindrical shells under non-uniform internal pressure (2017)
Journal Article
Davoudi Kashkoli, M., Naderan Tahan, K., & Nejad, M. Z. (2017). Time-dependent thermomechanical creep behavior of FGM thick hollow cylindrical shells under non-uniform internal pressure. International Journal of Applied Mechanics, 9(6), https://doi.org/10.1142/S1758825117500867

In this paper, a theoretical solution for time-dependent thermo-elastic creep analysis of a functionally graded (FG) thick-walled cylinder based on the first-order shear deformation theory is presented. The cylinder is subjected to the non-uniform in... Read More about Time-dependent thermomechanical creep behavior of FGM thick hollow cylindrical shells under non-uniform internal pressure.

Design of second order sliding mode and sliding mode algorithms: A practical insight to DC-DC buck converter (2017)
Journal Article
Rakhtala, S. M., Yasoubi, M., & HosseinNia, H. (2017). Design of second order sliding mode and sliding mode algorithms: A practical insight to DC-DC buck converter. IEEE Caa Journal of Automatica Sinica, 4(3), 483-497. https://doi.org/10.1109/JAS.2017.7510550

This paper presents a simple and systematic approach to design second order sliding mode controller for buck converters. The second order sliding mode control U+0028 SOSMC U+0029 based on twisting algorithm has been implemented to control buck switch...

Twisting control algorithm for the yaw and pitch tracking of a twin rotor UAV (2017)
Journal Article
Rakhtala, S. M., & Ahmadi, M. (2017). Twisting control algorithm for the yaw and pitch tracking of a twin rotor UAV. International Journal of Automation and Control, 11(2), 143-163. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJAAC.2017.083296

In this paper, second order sliding mode controller is used to compensate the pitch and yaw angles of multivariable (MIMO) twin rotor system. Twin rotor has six state variables including yaw and pitch angles, yaw and pitch angular velocities, and arm...

Multivariate extreme value modelling of sea conditions around the coast of England (2017)
Journal Article
Gouldby, B., Wyncoll, D., Panzeri, M., Franklin, M., Hunt, T., Hames, D., …Pullen, T. (2017). Multivariate extreme value modelling of sea conditions around the coast of England. Proceedings of the ICE - Maritime Engineering, 170(1), 3-20. https://doi.org/10.1680/jmaen.2016.16

It is widely recognised that coastal flood events can arise from combinations of extreme waves and sea levels. For flood risk analysis and the design of coastal structures it is therefore necessary to assess the joint probability of the occurrence of...

Time-dependent creep analysis for life assessment of cylindrical vessels using first order shear deformation theory (2017)
Journal Article
Davoudi Kashkoli, M., Naderan Tahan, K., & Nejad, M. Z. (2017). Time-dependent creep analysis for life assessment of cylindrical vessels using first order shear deformation theory. Journal of Mechanics, 33(4), 461-474. https://doi.org/10.1017/jmech.2017.6

In the present study, assuming that the thermo-elastic creep response of the material is governed by Norton's law, an analytical solution has been developed for the purpose of time-dependent creep response for isotropic thick-walled cylindrical press...
