Vibration Attenuation of Rotating Blades Using a Non-Linear Energy Sink (2023)
Conference Proceeding

The global climate crisis is placing higher demands on the performance of wind turbines. One of the promising methods to enhance the wind turbine performance is to increase the rotor diameter by having larger blades. However, the blade length is alwa...

Automating the Generation of MBD-Driven Assembly Work Instruction Documentation for Aircraft Components (2022)
Conference Proceeding

The classical approach to the creation of assembly work instructions for high value, complex products is time-consuming and prone to error. It requires a process engineer to write the work instructions step-by-step and manually insert specific techni...

Learning Feedforward Control for Industrial Manipulators (2021)
Conference Proceeding

In this work, an iterative learning control (ILC) algorithm is proposed for industrial manipulators. The proposed ILC algorithm works coordinately with the inverse dynamics of the manipulator and a feedback controller. The entire control scheme has t...

Application of advanced simulation methods for the tolerance analysis of mechanical assemblies (2021)
Conference Proceeding

In the frame of a statistical tolerance analysis of complex assemblies, for example an aircraft wing, the capability to predict accurately and fast specified, very small quantiles of the distribution of the assembly key characteristic becomes crucial...

A probabilistic approach for trade-off analysis of composite wing structures at the conceptual phase of design (2019)
Conference Proceeding

One of the major elements when performing a design for manufacturing and assembly methodology is the cost modelling method. A probabilistic cost approach is introduced herein for the series production of a composite wing structure. The proposed metho...

Advanced Assembly Solutions for the Airbus RACER Joined-Wing Configuration (2019)
Conference Proceeding

The Rapid And Cost Effective Rotorcraft (RACER) is being developed by Airbus Helicopters (AH) to demonstrate a new Vertical TakeOff and Landing configuration to fill the mobility gap between conventional helicopters and aeroplanes. RACER is a compoun... Read More about Advanced Assembly Solutions for the Airbus RACER Joined-Wing Configuration.

Modal Control of Vibration in Rotating Machines and Other Generally Damped Systems (2006)
Conference Proceeding

Second order matrix equations arise in the description of real dynamical systems. Traditional modal control approaches utilise the eigenvectors of the undamped system to diagonalise the system matrices. A regrettable consequence of this approach is t...

Optimal Controller Designs for Rotating Machines - Penalising the Rate of Change of Control Forcing (2006)
Conference Proceeding

In the context of active control of rotating machines, standard optimal controller methods enable a trade-off to be made between (weighted) mean-square vibrations and (weighted) mean-square currents injected into magnetic bearings. One shortcoming of... Read More about Optimal Controller Designs for Rotating Machines - Penalising the Rate of Change of Control Forcing.
