This paper proposes a hierarchical-structure-based fault estimation and fault-tolerant control design with bidirectional interactions for nonlinear multiagent systems with actuator faults. The hierarchical structure consists of distributed multiagent... Read More about Hierarchical-Structure-Based Fault Estimation and Fault-Tolerant Control for Multiagent Systems.

Force–length relation of skeletal muscles: from sarcomeres to myofibril (2018)
Journal Article
Hou, M. (2018). Force–length relation of skeletal muscles: from sarcomeres to myofibril. Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, 17(6), 1797-1810. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10237-018-1057-0

Sarcomeres are building blocks of skeletal muscles. Given force–length relations of sarcomeres serially connected in a myofibril, the myofibril force–length relation can be uniquely determined. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for capa... Read More about Force–length relation of skeletal muscles: from sarcomeres to myofibril.

Viscosity effect on a point absorber wave energy converter hydrodynamics validated by simulation and experiment (2018)
Journal Article

To achieve optimal power in a wave energy conversion (WEC) system it is necessary to understand the device hydrodynamics. To maximize conversion efficiency the goal is to tune the WEC performance into resonance. The main challenge then to be overcome...

Past or/and future information of the excitation force is useful for real-time power maximisation control of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) systems. Current WEC modelling approaches assume that the wave excitation force is accessible and known. However,...
