Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network
Conference Proceeding
Clarke, S., & Prescott, D. (2017). Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network.

As trains traverse track, the smoothness of its vertical geometry decreases. This degradation is linked to many interrelated factors, making it difficult to identify the primary causes. Through the use of multiple layer analysis, each factor was indi... Read More about Identifying the factors influencing track degradation on the UK rail network.

How does the healthcare industry involve users in medical device development? Pointers for UbiHealth
Conference Proceeding
Craven, M. P., & Martin, J. L. How does the healthcare industry involve users in medical device development? Pointers for UbiHealth.

This paper introduces the Multidisciplinary Assessment of Technology Centre for Healthcare (MATCH) and outlines the problem of integrating a user-centred approach for development of medical devices together with the information and communication tech...

Optical metrology for digital manufacturing: A review
Conference Proceeding
Catalucci, S., Thompson, A., Eastwood, J., Piano, S., Branson, D. T., & Leach, R. Optical metrology for digital manufacturing: A review.

The so-called 4th Industrial Revolution is defined by the transformation of individual manufacturing activities into interconnected, highly efficient, flexible, and automated production flows. In this context, manufacturing processes are moving from... Read More about Optical metrology for digital manufacturing: A review.

Performance Evaluation of Cascaded H-bridge Multilevel Grid-Connected Converter with Model Predictive Control Technique
Conference Proceeding
Hosseinzadeh, M. A., Sarbanzadeh, M., Salehi, A., Rivera, M., Munoz, J., & Wheeler, P. (2019). Performance Evaluation of Cascaded H-bridge Multilevel Grid-Connected Converter with Model Predictive Control Technique. In 2019 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT). https://doi.org/10.1109/icit.2019.8755160

Cascaded H-bridge multilevel converter (CHB) is a promising topology for grid-connection systems. On the other side, model predictive controls are advanced control strategies which have many advantages for power converters applications like as fast d...

Comparative Analysis Between Axial and Coaxial Magnetic Couplings
Conference Proceeding
Akcay, Y., Giangrande, P., Gerada, C., & Galea, M. (2021). Comparative Analysis Between Axial and Coaxial Magnetic Couplings. In The 10th International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD 2020). https://doi.org/10.1049/icp.2021.1147

The adoption of magnetic couplings enables the transmission of mechanical power relying on the magnetic fields interaction rather than a physical mechanical connection. Hence, the contactless speed/torque transmission leads to improvements in terms o... Read More about Comparative Analysis Between Axial and Coaxial Magnetic Couplings.
