Modelling how changes in the driving cycle affect fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission rates: the first stage. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kirby, H. (2006, November). Modelling how changes in the driving cycle affect fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission rates: the first stage

This paper describes a simplified procedure for estimating the fuel consumed and carbon dioxide emitted as a result of traffic demand management measures or other policy instruments. The usual methods may be based on second-by-second traffic simulati...

Wavelet transform reassignment and the use of low-oscillation complex wavelets (2006)
Journal Article
Addison, P., Morvidone, M., Watson, J. N., & Clifton, D. (2006). Wavelet transform reassignment and the use of low-oscillation complex wavelets. Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 20(6), 1429-1443. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymssp.2005.03.002

In this paper, we explore the use of new time-frequency reassignment tools for the enhancement of prominent features in the time-frequency plane of the wavelet transform. The reassignment method allows for the localisation of time-frequency and time-... Read More about Wavelet transform reassignment and the use of low-oscillation complex wavelets.

Complementary modes of impulse generation for flow past a three-dimensional obstacle. (2006)
Journal Article
Summers, D. M. (2007). Complementary modes of impulse generation for flow past a three-dimensional obstacle. Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics, 21(1), 15-38. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00162-006-0023-0

A Lagrangian model for viscous incompressible flow past a stationary solid obstacle is developed in terms of the creation over successive instants of time of fluid impulse at the obstacle’s bounding surface. Upon creation this compactly supported vec... Read More about Complementary modes of impulse generation for flow past a three-dimensional obstacle..

Eight-node Reissner–Mindlin plate element based on boundary interpolation using Timoshenko beam function (2006)
Journal Article

A new eight-node Reissner-Mindlin plate element is developed with a special interpolation within the element. This special interpolation is an extension of the element boundary interpolation that employs Timoshenko beam function for the boundary segm...

Road Simulators: The iterative algorithm for drive file creation. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hay, N. C., & Roberts, D. E. (2006, April). Road Simulators: The iterative algorithm for drive file creation. Presented at SAE 2006 World Congress & Exhibition

Road simulators reproduce measured service environments in laboratory based test rigs and have contributed significantly to improving the structural integrity and quality of modern vehicles. These rigs are driven by data that are derived from a speci... Read More about Road Simulators: The iterative algorithm for drive file creation..

FCA interpretation of relation algebra. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Priss, U. (2006, February). FCA interpretation of relation algebra. Presented at 4th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis

This paper discusses an interpretation of relation algebra and fork algebra with respect to FCA contexts. In this case, "relation algebra" refers to the DeMorgan-Peirce-Schroeder-Tarski algebra and not to the "relational algebra" as described by Codd...

Improved accuracy models for hourly diffuse solar radiation. (2006)
Journal Article
Muneer, T., & Munawwar, S. (2006). Improved accuracy models for hourly diffuse solar radiation. Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 128, 104-117. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.2148972

Solar energy applications require readily available, site-oriented, and long-term solar data. However, the frequent unavailability of diffuse irradiation, in contrast to its need, has led to the evolution of various regression models to predict it fr...
