Control of Vibration Using Compliant Actuators (2017)
Journal Article
Mareta, S., Halim, D., & Popov, A. A. (2017). Control of Vibration Using Compliant Actuators. Journal of Vibration and Acoustics, 139(5), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4036499

© 2017 by ASME. This work proposes a method for controlling vibration using compliant-based actuators. The compliant actuator combines a conventional actuator with elastic elements in a series configuration. The benefits of compliant actuators for vi...

Redesign methodology for mechanical assembly (2017)
Journal Article
El-Nounu, A., Popov, A., & Ratchev, S. (in press). Redesign methodology for mechanical assembly. Research in Engineering Design, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00163-017-0255-6

Design for assembly is the concept of carrying out critical thought early in the design stage to create assembly easement at the production stage. In the aerospace industry, products have very long lives, frequently being optimised rather than introd... Read More about Redesign methodology for mechanical assembly.

Multibody dynamics simulation of an all-wheel-drive motorcycle for handling and energy efficiency investigations (2017)
Journal Article
Griffin, J., & Popov, A. (in press). Multibody dynamics simulation of an all-wheel-drive motorcycle for handling and energy efficiency investigations. Vehicle System Dynamics, https://doi.org/10.1080/00423114.2017.1296962

It is now possible, through electrical, hydraulic or mechanical means, to power the front wheel of a motorcycle. The aim of this is often to improve performance in limit-handling scenarios including off-road low-traction conditions and on-road high-s...
