Effect of hydrogen content on the double oxide film defects and properties of aluminium castings: A review (2018)
Journal Article
El-Sayed, M. A., Shyha, I., & Basuny, F. H. (2018). Effect of hydrogen content on the double oxide film defects and properties of aluminium castings: A review. Journal of Engineering Technology, 6, 225-244

Entrapped double oxide films are known to be the most detrimental defects in cast aluminium alloys. In addition, hydrogen dissolved in the aluminium melt was suggested to pass into the defects to expand them and cause hydrogen porosity. This paper pr...

The generalised singular perturbation approximation for bounded real and positive real control systems (2018)
Journal Article
Guiver, C. (2019). The generalised singular perturbation approximation for bounded real and positive real control systems. Mathematical Control and Related Fields, 9(2), 313-350. https://doi.org/10.3934/mcrf.2019016

The generalised singular perturbation approximation (GSPA) is considered as a model reduction scheme for bounded real and positive real linear control systems. The GSPA is a state-space approach to truncation with the defining property that the trans...

Multi-Port Power Conversion Systems for the More Electric Aircraft (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gu, C., Zhang, H., Buticchi, G., Sala, G., Galassini, A., Papadopoulos, S., & Degano, M. (2018). Multi-Port Power Conversion Systems for the More Electric Aircraft. . https://doi.org/10.1109/iecon.2018.8592915

In the framework of the More Electric Aircraft (MEA), weight reduction and energy efficiency constitute the key figures. In addition to these requirements, the safety and the continuity of operation is of critical importance. These sets of desired fe...

The benefits of contextual information for speech recognition systems (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kinch, M. W., Melis, W. J., & Keates, S. (2018, September). The benefits of contextual information for speech recognition systems. Presented at The 10th Computer Science and Electronic Engineering (CEEC'18), University of Essex, Colchester, United Kingdom

This paper demonstrates the significance of using contextual information in machine learning and speech recognition. While the benefits of contextual information in human communication are widely known, their significance is rarely explored or discus...

A New Approach for Patent Use in Student Design Engineering Projects (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maclachlan, R., Wodehouse, A., & Vasantha, G. (2018). A New Approach for Patent Use in Student Design Engineering Projects. In Design Education: Diversity or Conformity? Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Engineering and Product Design E

This paper presents a new philosophy for patent use in student design projects; patents are more valuable when viewed as creative and learning resources rather than as a list of prior art to be considered for infringement. A practical approach to pat... Read More about A New Approach for Patent Use in Student Design Engineering Projects.

A Probabilistic Design Reuse Index (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Sherlock, A., Corney, J., & Quigley, J. (2018). A Probabilistic Design Reuse Index. In ASME 2018 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference

The benefits of being able to create a number of product variations from a limited range of components, or sub-assemblies, are widely recognized. Indeed it is clear that companies who can effectively reuse elements of existing designs when creating n... Read More about A Probabilistic Design Reuse Index.

A Tool for Modeling, Design and Applications of MetaSurfaces (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., & Vegni, A. M. (2018). A Tool for Modeling, Design and Applications of MetaSurfaces. In Latin America Optics and Photonics Conference, OSA Technical Digest (Th3C.2). https://doi.org/10.1364/laop.2018.th3c.2

We present a new approach to model, design and realize MetaSurface structures for sensing and telecommunications. The method turns out to be versatile and has great potential to be used for practical electromagnetic applications.

Assessing correlation of human response to vibration through vibrotactile threshold shift with vibration exposure determined on the subject (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maeda, S., Taylor, M. D., Anderson, L., & Mclaughlin, J. (2018). Assessing correlation of human response to vibration through vibrotactile threshold shift with vibration exposure determined on the subject. In 53rd UK Conference on Human Responses to Vibr

Existing risk assessment methodologies are based on fixed tool vibration magnitude emission data and tool usage time. The research evaluates the relationship between vibration dose assessment on subjects using wearable sensors with temporary threshol...

A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure. (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, M., Oliver, C., & Bayram, J. (2018, September). A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure. Presented at 53rd United Kingdom Conference on Human Responses to Vibration, Ascot, UK

Cycling infrastructure and, in particular, a well maintained pavement surface contributes to a safe and comfortable ride. However, defective pavement surfaces and insufficient maintenance can expose cyclists to excessive hand-arm vibration. Limited... Read More about A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure..
