A user-centred approach to requirements elicitation in medical device development: a case study from an industry perspective (2012)
Journal Article
Martin, J. L., Clarke, D. J., Crowe, J. A., Morgan, S. P., & Murphy, E. (2012). A user-centred approach to requirements elicitation in medical device development: a case study from an industry perspective. Applied Ergonomics, 43(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2011.05.002

The healthcare industry is dependent upon the provision of well designed medical devices. To achieve this it is recommended that user-centred design should begin early, and continue throughout device development. This is a challenge, particularly f...

A thermal improvement technique for phase windings of electrical machines (2011)
Journal Article
Galea, M., Gerada, C., Raminosa, T., & Wheeler, P. (2012). A thermal improvement technique for phase windings of electrical machines. IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 48(1), https://doi.org/10.1109/TIA.2011.2175470

In electrical machines, a higher torque/force density can usually be achieved by increasing the current density in the windings. However, the resulting increase in copper losses leads to higher temperatures in the coils, especially in the centre of t...
