A survey on reducing reconfiguration cost: reconfigurable PID control as a special case
(IFAC, 2014)
Reconfigurable computing is a paradigm in computing architecture that refers to the
practice of using interchangeable hardware modules to enhance the performance of conventional
Von-Neumann style computing. Despite the ...
Series-parallel approach to on-line observer based neural control of a helicopter system
(Elsevier, 2014)
This paper is concerned with the control of an under-actuated, uncertain, delayed
non-linear system through the implementation of arti cial neural networks(ANNs). The aim is
the development of a series-parallel training ...
Interdependent multi-objective sizing and control optimisation of a renewable energy hydrogen system
(Elsevier, 2014)
This paper presents a sizing and control optimisation architecture for the design
and evaluation of a small-scale stand-alone hybrid PV-wind-battery system for the production
of hydrogen (H2) using proton exchange membrane ...
Test problems for the verification and validation of the radiation, conduction and convection capabilities of system codes
(ICHMT, 2017)
The purpose of the reactor cavity cooling system in a nuclear plant is to remove the heat released by the reactor pressure vessel effectively. The reactor cavity cooling system must be able to operate naturally or passively ...
A life cycle model for the development of airborne electronic equipment
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2017)
This paper describes a life cycle model for the development of electronic equipment for use on board military aircraft in the South African context. The life cycle model presented consolidates the activities of systems ...
Flight controller and low-cost test environment for a simulated helicopter
(IFAC, 2014)
In this paper, optimal linear control techniques are utilised to control a radio-controlled
helicopter (30 size) in the AeroSIMRC simulation environment. A grey-box time-domain system
identification method is used to ...
Destoning of fine coal in a fluidized bed
(Springer, 2016)
Water scarcity is driving the development of dry coal beneficiation processes. A lot of research has gone into the development of dry dense medium fluidized bed technology (DMFB), especially in China. However, these processes ...
Drying of coal fines assisted by ceramic sorbents
(Springer, 2016)
It is proposed to introduce contact sorption drying as a method to reduce the moisture content in coal
fines. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of drying fine and ultra-fine coal using
porous ceramic ...
Monitoring gearbox oil viscosity by means of motor current signal analysis
(Univ of Huddersfield, 2017)
A number of gearbox failures can be attributed to lubricant related problems. One
measure of the condition of gearbox oil is its viscosity. In electrically powered systems,
motor current signal analysis allows online ...
Simulation of washability and liberation information from photographs
(Springer, 2016)
Imagine that a sample of coal could be crushed unlimited times to the same or different top size; a
different washability would be obtained for each crushing experiment. Depending on the size and
distribution of the raw ...
