Measurements of the Cavitation Threshold of Liquids Under Dynamic Stressing by Pulses of Tension (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Williams, P. R. W., & Williams, R. (2002, February). Measurements of the Cavitation Threshold of Liquids Under Dynamic Stressing by Pulses of Tension. Presented at NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Liquids Under Negative Pressure

This paper addresses discrepancies between the results of different measurements of the effective tensile strength F(F c ) of liquids, in experiments in which a pulse of tension (or ’negative pressure’) is created by the reflection of a pressure puls...

An Application of Higher Order Sliding Modes to the Control of a Diesel Generator Set (GENSET) (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Spurgeon, S., Goh, K., & Jones, B. (2002, July). An Application of Higher Order Sliding Modes to the Control of a Diesel Generator Set (GENSET). Presented at 7th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems

Diesel engines have become a common source of power, both for vehicles and for static equipment because they are fuel efficient, robust and reliable. It is important that diesel engines are robustly
controlled in order to maintain efficiency, minimi... Read More about An Application of Higher Order Sliding Modes to the Control of a Diesel Generator Set (GENSET).
