Strength optimisation of mortar with CNTs and nanoclays
(
Thomas Telford Services Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study explores the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanoclays in cement mortars. The paper presents modelling and optimisation of the compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortars containing CNTs and the ...
Network function virtualization scheduling with transmission delay optimization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
To accelerate the implementation of network functions/middle boxes and reduce the deployment cost, recently the concept of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has emerged and became a topic of much interest attracting ...
Optimization of chiral lattice based metastructures for broadband vibration suppression using genetic algorithms
(
Academic Press
, 2016 , Article)
One of the major challenges in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering is to develop vibration suppression systems with high efficiency and low cost. Recent studies have shown that high damping performance at broadband ...
Relay selection schemes to minimise outage in wireless powered communication networks
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, the authors discuss relay selection schemes with the objective to minimise outage probability for a network consisting of a single source, multiple relays and a single destination. The relays are powered by ...
Qualitative economic model for long-term IaaS composition
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
We propose a new qualitative economic model based optimization approach to compose an optimal set of infrastructure service requests over a long-term period. The economic model is represented as a temporal CP-Net to capture ...
Genetic algorithm use for internally resonating lattice optimization: Case of a beam-like metastructure
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Metamaterial inspired structures, or metastructures, are structural members that incorporate periodic or nonperiodic inserts. Recently, a new class of metastructures has been introduced which feature chiral lattice inserts. ...
A Matlab/Simulink-Based Average-Value Model of Multi-Terminal HVDC Network
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Multi-terminal High-Voltage Direct Current (MTDC) networks are emerging as the promising technology in modern transmission systems for efficient and bulky renewable energy sources transfer over long distances. Nonetheless, ...
Sensorless V/f control with MRAS speed estimator for a five-phase induction machine under open-circuit phase faults
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This paper introduces a sensorless scalar controller with MRAS speed estimator based on simple Proportional Resonant PR controllers to provide a disturbance-free operation to a five-phase induction machine under phase open ...
Calculation of derating factors based on steady-state unbalanced multiphase induction machine model under open phase(s) and optimal winding currents
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Multiphase machines have become a promising candidate in high-power applications as they offer many advantages over their three-phase counterparts. The main salient feature is the high fault tolerance capability. During ...
Open loop V/f control of multiphase induction machine under open-circuit phase faults
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
One of the main advantages of multiphase induction machines is their higher fault-tolerant capability. Under phase(s) loss, the machine currents can be optimally controlled to satisfy certain optimization criteria. In this ...
