Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bacharoudis, K., Wilson, H., Goodfellow-Jones, S., Popov, A., & Ratchev, S. An efficient cost estimation framework for aerospace applications using Matlab/Simulink. Presented at 54th CIRP Conference on Manufacturing Systems, 2021, Online

The ability to estimate costs and process times at the early stage of a design phase is of great importance to the product development process, enabling selection of the most suitable design and manufacturing concepts. Therefore, herein an efficient... Read More about An efficient cost estimation framework for aerospace applications using Matlab/Simulink.

Learning Feedforward Control for Industrial Manipulators (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, C., Popov, A., Turner, A., Shires, E., & Ratchev, S. (2021, May). Learning Feedforward Control for Industrial Manipulators. Presented at IEEE 10th Data Driven Control and Learning Systems Conference (DDCLS 2021), Suzhou, China

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...

A new phenomenological constitutive model for thermoplastics (2021)
Journal Article
Zhu, H., Ou, H., & Popov, A. (2021). A new phenomenological constitutive model for thermoplastics. Mechanics of Materials, 157, Article 103817. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mechmat.2021.103817

A new phenomenological constitutive model is proposed to predict the mechanical behaviour of thermoplastics in the current research. The new constitutive model and the method to determine the parameters of the model are introduced. In the new model,... Read More about A new phenomenological constitutive model for thermoplastics.
