    • Unsteady flow analysis around an elliptic-bladed savonius-style wind turbine
      Banerjee, A.; Roy, Sukanta; Mukherjee, P.; Saha, U. (2014)
      Although considerable progress has already been achieved in the design of wind turbines, the available technical designs are not yet adequate to develop a reliable wind energy converter especially meant for small-scale ...
    • Optimum efficiency control of a wind turbine with unknown desired trajectory and actuator faults
      Habibi, H.; Rahimi Nohooji, H.; Howard, Ian (2017)
      The operational wind turbine efficiency in the power maximization regions and reliability improvement to reduce the produced power cost can both be enhanced by using an appropriate controller to cope with the highly ...
    • The modelling prediction of haul road surface deflection
      Coffey, J.; Ghadimi, Behzad; Nikraz, Hamid; Rosano, Michele (2018)
      Haul road pavement design is often completed through application of axisymmetric linear-elastic modelling. This may be implemented either through the derivation of cover curves employing the California Bearing Ratio, or ...
    • Petrophysical and Reservoir Characteristics of Sedimentary Rocks From Offshore West Baram Delta, Sarawak Basin, Malaysia
      Ben-Awuah, Joel; Padmanabhan, E.; Andriamihaja, S.; Amponsah, P.; Ibrahim, Y. (2016)
      Sedimentary successions in the Baram Delta consist mainly of alternating sandstones and siltstones with rare intercalations of mudstones. This study examines the petrophysical variations between these Middle to Upper ...
    • Influence of flaw distribution on single fibre fragmentation
      Rollin, D.; Davies, Ian (2011)
      The single fibre fragmentation (SFF) test is an important technique used to characterise interface and fibre properties in polymer matrix composite materials. This paper describes a Monte Carlo simulation technique to ...
    • Oxidative pyrolysis of mallee wood biomass, cellulose and lignin
      Jiang, S.; Hu, X.; Wu, L.; Zhang, Lei; Wang, Shuai; Li, T.; Xia, D.; Li, C. (2018)
      The oxidative pyrolysis of mallee wood, cellulose and lignin was performed and the bio-oil products were analysed to understand how the externally added oxygen react with the pyrolysis products. Both wood cylinders of ...
    • Sustainability assessment of cattle herding in the North West Region of Cameroon, Central Africa
      Gideon, T.; Biswas, Wahidul; Pritchard, D. (2017)
      Cattle herding in the North West Region of Cameroon is not sustainable in its present form. Although the role played by the cattle herding enterprise in the region is fundamental to the livelihood of cattle herders, ...
    • Extensions with RFSs in SLAM
      Mullane, J.; Vo, Ba-Ngu; Adams, M.; Vo, B. (2011)
      This book demonstrates that the inherent uncertainty of feature maps and feature map measurements can be naturally encapsulated by random finite set models, and subsequently in Chapter 5 proposed the multi-feature RFSSLAM ...
    • Investigations on the effect of aspect ratio into the performance of savonius rotors
      Roy, Sukanta; Saha, U. (2013)
      With the rapid execution in the renewable energy field, vertical axis wind turbines are finding its application in the small-scale distributed wind energy generation, particularly in rural areas. The Savonius rotor is a ...
    • Radio Galaxy Zoo: A Search for hybrid morphology radio galaxies
      Kapiñska, A.; Terentev, I.; Terentev, W.; Shabala, S.; Shabala, A.; Rudnick, L.; Storer, L.; Banfield, J.; Willett, K.; Willett, F.; Willett, C.; Willett, A.; Middelberg, E.; Norris, R.; Norris, K.; Seymour, Nick; Simmons, B. (2017)
      Hybrid morphology radio sources (HyMoRS) are a rare type of radio galaxy that display different Fanaroff-Riley classes on opposite sides of their nuclei. To enhance the statistical analysis of HyMoRS, we embarked on a ...
