Recycled hybrid fiber-reinforced & cement-stabilized pavement mixtures: Tensile properties and cracking characterization (2018)
Journal Article
Farhan, A. H., Dawson, A., & Thom, N. (2018). Recycled hybrid fiber-reinforced & cement-stabilized pavement mixtures: Tensile properties and cracking characterization. Construction and Building Materials, 179, 488-499. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2018.05.233

Cement-stabilized aggregate mixtures (CSAMs) have been used effectively within semi-rigid pavement structures. However, the sensitivity to cracking under tensile loading is the main problem that may cause a deterioration due to reflection to the over...

Optimising the structure of a cascaded modular battery system for enhancing the performance of battery packs (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fares, A., Klumpner, C., & Sumner, M. (2018). Optimising the structure of a cascaded modular battery system for enhancing the performance of battery packs.

The overall performance of battery packs may be affected by imbalances between the series connected cells which is more likely in packs with high number of cells needed to provide a high voltage as needed for example in electric vehicles. In this cas... Read More about Optimising the structure of a cascaded modular battery system for enhancing the performance of battery packs.

Development of a battery energy loss observer based on improved equivalent circuit modelling (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fares, A., Klumpner, C., & Sumner, M. (2016). Development of a battery energy loss observer based on improved equivalent circuit modelling. . https://doi.org/10.1109/EPE.2016.7695602

This paper proposes a new energy loss observer for batteries that has a good accuracy and low complexity. This observer can provide a support for battery management systems (BMS) in terms of predicting battery energy loss and/or battery internal temp...

Effect of cementation level on performance of rubberized cement-stabilized aggregate mixtures (2016)
Journal Article
Farhan, A. H., Dawson, A., & Thom, N. H. (2016). Effect of cementation level on performance of rubberized cement-stabilized aggregate mixtures. Materials and Design, 97, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2016.02.059

An investigation and comparison is made of the effect of cement content on the performance of rubberized cement-stabilized aggregate mixtures and on cement-stabilized aggregate mixtures containing no rubber (RCSAMs and CSAMs). These materials are int... Read More about Effect of cementation level on performance of rubberized cement-stabilized aggregate mixtures.

Characterization of rubberized cement bound aggregate mixtures using indirect tensile testing and fractal analysis (2015)
Journal Article
