Demanufacturing of thermoplastic composites: Small scale experiments exploring ply separation and recovery (2024)
Journal Article
Parsons, A. J., Johnson, M. S., Piano, S., & De Focatiis, D. S. (2024). Demanufacturing of thermoplastic composites: Small scale experiments exploring ply separation and recovery. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2024.108626

Thermoplastic composites are intrinsically suited to recycling, but processes are poorly realised. Methods applied to thermosets are energy intensive, resulting in fibre downgrading and matrix loss. With digital manufacturing and data intertwining, t... Read More about Demanufacturing of thermoplastic composites: Small scale experiments exploring ply separation and recovery.

A Cascade PI-SMC Method for Matrix Converter-Fed BDFIM Drives (2021)
Journal Article
Wheeler, P., Wang, H., Chen, X., Zhao, X., Dan, H., Su, M., Sun, Y., Zhang, F., & Rivera, M. (2021). A Cascade PI-SMC Method for Matrix Converter-Fed BDFIM Drives. IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification, 7(4), 2541-2550. https://doi.org/10.1109/TTE.2021.3061742

This article proposes a cascade proportional-integral second-order sliding mode control (PI-SMC) method for matrix converter-fed brushless doubly fed induction machine (BDFIM). The PI-SMC method consists of a PI speed controller with an inner-loop se... Read More about A Cascade PI-SMC Method for Matrix Converter-Fed BDFIM Drives.

Distributed Control Strategy Based on a Consensus Algorithm for the Inter-cell and Inter-cluster Voltage Balancing of a Cascaded H-Bridge Based STATCOM (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Burgos-Mellado, C., Gutierrez, J., Pineda, C., Donoso, F., Watson, A., Sumner, M., Cardenas, R., & Mora, A. (2020, November). Distributed Control Strategy Based on a Consensus Algorithm for the Inter-cell and Inter-cluster Voltage Balancing of a Cascaded H-Bridge Based STATCOM. Presented at 2020 IEEE 21st Workshop on Control and Modeling for Power Electronics (COMPEL), Aalborg, Denmark

© 2020 IEEE. Cascaded H-bridge converters are widely used in the implementation of medium voltage static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs). This is because of the advantages of relatively high-power density and the improved utilisation of low-volta...

Highly Emissive Perylene Diimide-Based Metallacages and Their Host–Guest Chemistry for Information Encryption (2020)
Journal Article
Hou, Y., Zhang, Z., Lu, S., Yuan, J., Zhu, Q., Chen, W.-P., Ling, S., Li, X., Zheng, Y.-Z., Zhu, K., & Zhang, M. (2020). Highly Emissive Perylene Diimide-Based Metallacages and Their Host–Guest Chemistry for Information Encryption. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 142(44), 18763–18768. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.0c09904

Here we report two highly emissive perylene diimide (PDI)-based metallacages and explore their complexation with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as pyrene, triphenylene, and perylene. The fluorescence quantum yields of metallacages exceed 90%... Read More about Highly Emissive Perylene Diimide-Based Metallacages and Their Host–Guest Chemistry for Information Encryption.

Single-phase consensus-based control for regulating voltage and sharing unbalanced currents in 3-wire isolated AC microgrids (2020)
Journal Article
Burgos-Mellado, C., Llanos, J., Espina, E., Saez, D., Cardenas, R., Sumner, M., & Watson, A. (2020). Single-phase consensus-based control for regulating voltage and sharing unbalanced currents in 3-wire isolated AC microgrids. IEEE Access, 8, 164882-164898. https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2020.3022488

A distributed control strategy is proposed to share unbalanced currents in three-phase threewire isolated AC Microgrids (MGs). It is based on a novel approach where, rather than analysing the MG as a three-phase system, it is analysed as three single...

Phase-Field Material Point Method for dynamic brittle fracture with isotropic and anisotropic surface energy (2019)
Journal Article
Kakouris, E. G., & Triantafyllou, S. P. (2019). Phase-Field Material Point Method for dynamic brittle fracture with isotropic and anisotropic surface energy. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 357, Article 112503. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2019.06.014

A novel phase field material point method is introduced for robust simulation of dynamic fracture in elastic media considering the most general case of anisotropic surface energy. Anisotropy is explicitly introduced through a properly defined crack d...

The role of microstructural development in the hydrothermal corrosion of cast and HIPed Stellite 6 analogues in simulated PWR conditions (2019)
Journal Article
Karimi, G., Carrington, M., Thomas, J., Shipway, P., Stewart, D., & Hussain, T. (2019). The role of microstructural development in the hydrothermal corrosion of cast and HIPed Stellite 6 analogues in simulated PWR conditions. Corrosion Science, 159, Article 108141. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.corsci.2019.108141

The corrosion behaviour of cast and HIPed Stellite 6 analogue materials in PWR-simulating conditions was investigated. The cast alloy exhibited localised corrosion at the boundary between the matrix and the M7C3 carbides, with this being attributed t...
