Modal Control of Vibration in Rotating Machines and Other Generally Damped Systems (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Houlston, P. R., Garvey, S. D., & Popov, A. A. (2006). Modal Control of Vibration in Rotating Machines and Other Generally Damped Systems.

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...

Superconducting and conventional electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft assisted take-off
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., & Garvey, S. D. (in press). Superconducting and conventional electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft assisted take-off.

This paper compares three possible linear motor topologies for an electromagnetic launch system to assist civil aircraft take-off. Assisted launch of civil aircraft has the potential of reducing the required runway length, reducing noise and emission...
