In this paper, a 3D mathematical model of a helicopter attached to a robotic landing gear is proposed to investigate into helicopter landing on uneven terrain. The landing gear consists of four articulated legs connected to the helicopter fuselage. E...

Assessing the relationship between the human response to vibration in the vibrotactile threshold shift with HAV exposure determined on the subject (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Anderson, L., Taylor, M., Maeda, S., & McLaughlin, J. (2018, August). Assessing the relationship between the human response to vibration in the vibrotactile threshold shift with HAV exposure determined on the subject. Presented at The 26 th Japan Conference on Human Response to Vibration (JCHRV2018), Osaka, Japan

Existing risk assessment methodologies are based on fixed tool vibration magnitude emission data (such as tool declaration data or a point in time (typically annually) tool measurement to ISO5349) and tool usage time. The research evaluates the rela... Read More about Assessing the relationship between the human response to vibration in the vibrotactile threshold shift with HAV exposure determined on the subject.

Dynamic structural design of offshore direct-drive wind turbine electrical generators. (2018)
Journal Article

Direct-drive permanent magnet generators for multi-MW wind turbines are low speed high torque electrical machines requiring large, heavy and robust structures to maintain the airgap clearance open and stable. The structural mass of radial-flux genera... Read More about Dynamic structural design of offshore direct-drive wind turbine electrical generators..

End effect on determining shear modulus of timber beams in torsion tests (2018)
Journal Article
Gharavi, N., Zhang, H., Xie, Y., & He, T. (2018). End effect on determining shear modulus of timber beams in torsion tests. Construction and Building Materials, 164, 442-450. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2017.12.191

The end effect plays an important role in determining where the rotation measuring gauges should be located in a torsion test. A thorough review on the impact of end effect in a torsion test has been conducted, followed by an experimental validation....
