Digital thread: The missing link (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Zaidi, Y. (2022, December). Digital thread: The missing link. Presented at Model Driven Engineering Network (MDENet) Annual Symposium 2022, King's College London and online

An area where model-driven engineering methodologies offer the potential to accelerate digital engineering in different development phases is the connectivity of models and lifecycle activities via a digital thread. However, we need to understand how... Read More about Digital thread: The missing link.

Framework for developing digital twin prototypes (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Zaidi, Y., & Portapas, V. (2022). Framework for developing digital twin prototypes. In Emerging and Disruptive Modelling and Simulation Technologies to Transform Future Defence Capabilities (STO-MP-MSG-197). https://doi.org/10.14339/STO-MP-MSG-197

This paper presents an agile co-simulation framework for developing digital twin prototypes of novel flying vehicles. The framework enables rapid assessment of flying vehicles' performance and flying dynamics in the early stages of their design cycle...

SpaceWire communications in power over Ethernet environment (2022)
Journal Article
Martin, J., & Zaidi, Y. (2023). SpaceWire communications in power over Ethernet environment. CEAS Space Journal, 15, 451–465. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12567-022-00454-z

This is a high-level study into the validation of a unified electric power and communications architecture for modern spacecraft systems. We leverage from blending the European Cooperation for Space Standardisation (ECSS) SpaceWire and the IEEE 802.3... Read More about SpaceWire communications in power over Ethernet environment.

Validation of the safety requirements of the landing gear using fault tree analysis (2022)
Journal Article
Iven, L., & Zaidi, Y. (2022). Validation of the safety requirements of the landing gear using fault tree analysis. CEAS Aeronautical Journal, 13, 503-520. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13272-022-00572-8

We analyze the functionality of the landing system of a regional aircraft in the extension and cruise flight modes and validate safety requirements through the fault tree analysis. The main landing gear system is captured in the electromechanical–flu... Read More about Validation of the safety requirements of the landing gear using fault tree analysis.

Energy harvesting from landing and taxiing of commercial aircraft (2022)
Journal Article
Brown, E. T. G., & Zaidi, Y. (2022). Energy harvesting from landing and taxiing of commercial aircraft. SAE International Journal of Aerospace, 15(1), 57-74. https://doi.org/10.4271/01-15-01-0004

We demonstrate a virtual proof-of-concept design and experiment for energy harvesting enabling economic and environment-friendly aircraft by recycling forces for power conversion. The harvesting uses piezoelectric materials for extracting energy from... Read More about Energy harvesting from landing and taxiing of commercial aircraft.
