Bond behavior degradation between FRP and masonry under aggressive environmental conditions (2018)
Journal Article

Application of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) as external reinforcement for masonry structures has been found to be a promising technique, but the long-term behavior of such systems still needs attention. This study presents an overview of the expe... Read More about Bond behavior degradation between FRP and masonry under aggressive environmental conditions.

Sensorless Control of a Fault-tolerant Multi-level PMSM Drive (2018)
Journal Article

This paper presents a new technique to track the saliency position in a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) post a single phase open-circuit fault. The PMSM is driven by a fault-tolerant multi-level inverter that is utilized to implement a faul... Read More about Sensorless Control of a Fault-tolerant Multi-level PMSM Drive.

Systems Theoretic Accident Model and Process (STAMP) applied to a Royal Navy Hawk jet missile simulation exercise (2018)
Journal Article

The Royal Navy uses Hawk jets to simulate sea-skimming missile attacks against vessels as part of their training regulations. To best achieve these goals, pilots of the Hawk are required to fly at approximately 50 feet above sea level to accurately m...

Meso-scale modelling of 3D woven composite T-joints with weave variations (2018)
Journal Article

A meso-scale modelling framework is proposed to simulate the 3D woven fibre architectures and the mechanical performance of the composite T-joints, subjected to quasi-static tensile pull-off loading. The proposed method starts with building the reali... Read More about Meso-scale modelling of 3D woven composite T-joints with weave variations.

A robust Bayesian methodology for damage localization in plate-like structures using ultrasonic guided-waves (2018)
Journal Article

SHM methods for damage detection and localization in plate-like structures have typically relied on signal post-processing techniques applied to ultrasonic guided-waves. The time of flight is one of these signals features which has been extensively u...
