Although the heaving Point Absorber (PA) concept is well known in wave energy conversion research, few studies focus on appropriate modelling of non-linear fluid viscous and mechanical friction dynamics. Even though these concepts are known to have n... Read More about Nonlinear Modeling and Verification of a Heaving Point Absorber for Wave Energy Conversion.

Lateralized Eye Use Towards Video Stimuli in Bearded Dragons (Pogona vitticeps) (2017)
Journal Article
Frohnwieser, A., Pike, T., Murray, J., & Wilkinson, A. (2017). Lateralized Eye Use Towards Video Stimuli in Bearded Dragons (Pogona vitticeps). Animal behavior and cognition, 4(3), 340-348. https://doi.org/10.26451/abc.04.03.11.2017

Lateralized eye use is thought to increase brain efficiency, as the two hemispheres process different information perceived by the eyes. It has been observed in a wide variety of vertebrate species and, in general, information about conspecifics appe...

Modelling, analysis and feedback control design for upright standing sways (2017)
Thesis
Mohammed, G. A. Modelling, analysis and feedback control design for upright standing sways. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219855

Human body upright standing is inherently unstable, and as a bipedal creature, the body can implement several functions such as upright standing, walking and running, with the help of the central nervous system. Understanding the stability control of... Read More about Modelling, analysis and feedback control design for upright standing sways.

Thesis
Lan, J. Robust model-based fault estimation and fault-tolerant control : towards an integration. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219844

To maintain robustly acceptable system performance, fault estimation (FE) is adopted to reconstruct fault signals and a fault-tolerant control (FTC) controller is employed to compensate for the fault effects. The inevitably existing system and estima... Read More about Robust model-based fault estimation and fault-tolerant control : towards an integration.
