Non-dissipative boundary feedback for Rayleigh and Timoshenko beams (2010)
Journal Article
Guiver, C., & Opmeer, M. R. (2010). Non-dissipative boundary feedback for Rayleigh and Timoshenko beams. Systems and Control Letters, 59(9), 578-586. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sysconle.2010.07.002

We show that a non-dissipative feedback that has been shown in the literature to exponentially stabilize an EulerBernoulli beam makes a Rayleigh beam and a Timoshenko beam unstable.

Taxi Demand Modeling to Ensure Appropriate Taxi Supply: Do Both Open Access and Model Based Restrictions Fail? (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cooper, J. M., & Faber, W. (2010, August). Taxi Demand Modeling to Ensure Appropriate Taxi Supply: Do Both Open Access and Model Based Restrictions Fail?. Presented at Traffic and Transportation Studies 2010

As a transport mode, the taxi is often given scant attention. The mode is consistent, in appearance and function, and has followed the same patterns of licensing, rather than mainstream transport, from its origin as the first licensed public transpor...
