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...
