Analytical modelling of harmonics in an exciterless synchronous generator (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fallows, D., Nuzzo, S., & Galea, M. (2021, April). Analytical modelling of harmonics in an exciterless synchronous generator. Presented at IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD 2021), Modena, Italy

The replacement of the brushless exciter in the synchronous generator has long been desired as a method to increase power density. There are many topologies available that allow the excitation system of a synchronous generator to be combined with the...

Cultural Aspects for the User Interface Design of Health and Fitness Apps (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zheng, F., & Hermawati, S. (2021, April). Cultural Aspects for the User Interface Design of Health and Fitness Apps. Presented at Ergonomics & Human Factors 2021, Online

Cultures influence preferences towards user interface (UI) which prompted the emergence of the culture-based UI design approach. Hofstede’s cross-cultural theory identified Hong Kong as having a unique culture orientation in comparison to western cou...

Weft Yarn Interlacement Modelling for 3D Profiled Structures (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Spackman, G., Brown, L., & Turner, T. (2021, April). Weft Yarn Interlacement Modelling for 3D Profiled Structures. Presented at 9th World Conference in 3D Fabrics and Their Applications, Online, Zhengzhou, China

Currently, generation of 3D woven T-joint models with complex weave geometries, using TexGen software, is a manual process. One of the main challenges to automatic generation of these textiles is the order in which the weft yarns interlace within the...

Probing cultural differences in product design and consumer evaluation using repertory grid analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Tang, P., Lawson, G., Sun, X., & Sharples, S. (2022). Probing cultural differences in product design and consumer evaluation using repertory grid analysis. International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 32, 1875-1894. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10798-021-09663-9

Culture plays an essential role in the success of product design, especially in the age of a global economy where there is a high probability of discrepancy between the designer's intention and the consumer's response. However, the role of culture is... Read More about Probing cultural differences in product design and consumer evaluation using repertory grid analysis.

Measurement of Sub-23 nm Particulate Emissions from GDI Engines: A Comparison of Processing Methods (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pfau, S. A., Haffner-Staton, E., & La Rocca, A. Measurement of Sub-23 nm Particulate Emissions from GDI Engines: A Comparison of Processing Methods. Presented at SAE Technical Papers, Online

Engine research has increasingly focused on emission of sub 23 nm particulates in recent years. Likewise, current legislative efforts are being made for particulate number (PN) emission limits to include this previously omitted size range. In Europe,...

The spherical primitive and perlin noise method to recreate realistic aggregate shapes (2021)
Journal Article
Michot-Roberto, S., Garcia-Hernández, A., Dopazo-Hilario, S., & Dawson, A. (2021). The spherical primitive and perlin noise method to recreate realistic aggregate shapes. Granular Matter, 23(2), Article 41. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10035-021-01105-6

Abstract: An algorithm to re-create virtual aggregates with realistic shapes is presented in this paper. The algorithm has been implemented in the Unity 3D platform. The idea is to re-create realistically the virtual coarse and crushed aggregates tha... Read More about The spherical primitive and perlin noise method to recreate realistic aggregate shapes.

Design and validation of a mechanically flexible and ultra-lightweight high-density diffuse optical tomography system for functional neuroimaging of newborns (2021)
Journal Article
Zhao, H., Frijia, E. M., Vidal Rosas, E., Collins-Jones, L., Smith, G., Nixon-Hill, R., Powell, S., Everdell, N. L., & Cooper, R. J. (2021). Design and validation of a mechanically flexible and ultra-lightweight high-density diffuse optical tomography system for functional neuroimaging of newborns. Neurophotonics, 8(01), Article 015011. https://doi.org/10.1117/1.nph.8.1.015011

Significance: Neonates are a highly vulnerable population. The risk of brain injury is greater during the first days and weeks after birth than at any other time of life. Functional neuroimaging that can be performed longitudinally and at the cot-sid...

Prediction Interval Identification Using Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems: Lake Water Level Prediction Using Remote Sensing Data (2021)
Journal Article
Khanesar, M. A., & Branson, D. T. (2021). Prediction Interval Identification Using Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems: Lake Water Level Prediction Using Remote Sensing Data. IEEE Sensors Journal, 21(12), 13815-13827. https://doi.org/10.1109/JSEN.2021.3067841

This paper presents a novel approach to identify the prediction interval associated with data using interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems with support vector regression. For such a purpose, a constrained quadratic objective function is defined which is...
