A vignette study examining the effects of different types of diagnostic procedure and information provision preferences (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Keane, D., Craven, M. P., & Sharples, S. (2012). A vignette study examining the effects of different types of diagnostic procedure and information provision preferences. In Contemporary Ergonomics and Human Factors 2012: Proceedings of the international conference on Ergonomics & Human Factors 2012, Blackpool, UK, 16-19 April 2012 (161-168)

A vignette study was conducted to examine attitudes in a student population with respect to three different types of diagnostic procedure (blood test, imaging procedure and invasive procedure) and three different disease areas (coronary, gastroentero...

Investigating the feasibility of using asphalt pavements as a source of heating (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Dehdezi, P. K., Dawson, A. R., Hall, M. R., Casey, S., & Miao, F. (2012). Investigating the feasibility of using asphalt pavements as a source of heating.

This paper evaluates the feasibility of using asphalt pavements as solar energy collectors with copper pipes embedded below the surfaces. Quartzite was investigated as a replacement for limestone aggregate in asphalt for thermal enhancement. Samples...

CFD modelling of an entire synchronous generator for improved thermal management (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Connor, P. H., Pickering, S. J., Gerada, C., Eastwick, C. N., & Micallef, C. (2012). CFD modelling of an entire synchronous generator for improved thermal management. . https://doi.org/10.1049/cp.2012.0290

This paper is the first in a series dedicated to investigating the airflow and thermal management of electrical machines. Due to the temperature dependent resistive losses in the machine's windings any improvement in cooling provides a direct reducti...

Evaluation of a digitally controlled power electronic emulator for supercapattery (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Kulsangcharoen, P., Rashed, M., Klumpner, C., De, D., Patel, C., Asher, G., & Chen, G. Z. (2012). Evaluation of a digitally controlled power electronic emulator for supercapattery. In 6th IET International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD 2012). https://doi.org/10.1049/cp.2012.0341

Newly developed electrochemical energy storage devices are typically produced as single/small quantity and small size devices. This makes their evaluation very difficult in high power applications that would require production of much larger size dev...

Synchronization of tool tip and tool orientation contour errors in five-axis machining (2012)
Conference Proceeding
A. El Khalick, M., Uchiyama, N., & Sano, S. (2012). Synchronization of tool tip and tool orientation contour errors in five-axis machining. In 2012 American Control Conference (ACC). https://doi.org/10.1109/acc.2012.6314878

In current CNC machines, each axis is generally controlled by an individual controller, which tries to minimize the axial position tracking error. However, eliminating the tracking errors of each individual axis in multi-axis feed drive systems may n...

Modeling the re-anchoring of a ruptured tendon in bonded post-tensioned concrete (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Abdelatif, A. O., Owen, J. S., & Hussein, M. F. (2012). Modeling the re-anchoring of a ruptured tendon in bonded post-tensioned concrete.

: In this study, a theoretical model is deve loped to simulate the re-anchorage of a ruptured bonded post-tensioning tendon. This includes estimating the re-anchorage length and stress distribution over the tendon. The model accounts for equilibr...
