Fault-tolerant load reduction control for large offshore wind turbines (2019)
Thesis
Liu, Y. Fault-tolerant load reduction control for large offshore wind turbines. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4270015

Offshore wind turbines suffer from asymmetrical loading (blades, tower etc.), leading to enhanced structural fatigue. As well as asymmetrical loading different types of faults (pitch system faults etc.) can occur simultaneously, causing degradation o...

Viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites – effects of delayed moulding on Charpy impact properties (2019)
Journal Article
Qin, Y., & Fancey, K. S. (2019). Viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites – effects of delayed moulding on Charpy impact properties. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 121, 169-174. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2019.03.014

Viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites (VPPMCs) are produced by subjecting fibres to creep, then releasing the creep load before moulding. Previous work has demonstrated mechanical property improvements up to ~50% from nylon 6,6 fib...

The effect of beat interval on ventricular repolarisation in atrial fibrillation (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Karadi, M. S., Wilkinson, A. J., & Langley, P. (2018, September). The effect of beat interval on ventricular repolarisation in atrial fibrillation. Presented at 2018 Computing in Cardiology Conference (CinC), Maastricht, The Netherlands

© 2018 Creative Commons Attribution. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterised by rapid beat interval changes. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of such changes on ECG ventricular repolarisation characteristics. In 10 AF recordings b...

Learning a predictionless resonating controller for wave energy converters (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shi, S., Patton, R. J., Abdelrahman, M., & Liu, Y. (2019, June). Learning a predictionless resonating controller for wave energy converters. Presented at ASME 2019 38th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering, Glasgow, Scotland

This article presents a data-efficient learning approach for the complex-conjugate control of a wave energy point absorber. Particularly, the Bayesian Optimization algorithm is adopted for maximizing the extracted energy from sea waves subject to phy...

In this work a three dimensional computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model has been constructed based on a 1/50 scale heaving point absorber wave energy converter (PAWEC). The CFD model is validated first via wave tank tests and then is applied in this... Read More about Enhancement of wave energy absorption efficiency via geometry and power take-off damping tuning.

Thermal chemical conversion of plastics waste for production of carbon nanotubes (2018)
Thesis
Liu, X. Thermal chemical conversion of plastics waste for production of carbon nanotubes. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223301

With continuous growth for more than 50 years, global plastics production increased to 336 million tonnes in 2016, and over 27 million tonnes of post-consumer plastic wastes were produced. Waste management is necessary to minimise the plastic waste i... Read More about Thermal chemical conversion of plastics waste for production of carbon nanotubes.

Estimating one-minute rain rate distributions in the Tropics from TRMM satellite data (October 2017) (2018)
Journal Article

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 11(10), 3660-3667. https://doi.org/10.1109/JSTARS.2018.2869322

© 2008-2012 IEEE. Internationally recognized prognostic models of rain fade on terrestrial and Earth-space extremely high frequency (EHF) links rely fundamentally on distributions of 1-min rain rates. In Rec. ITU-R P.837-6, these distributions are es... Read More about Estimating one-minute rain rate distributions in the Tropics from TRMM satellite data (October 2017).

A comprehensive study of the effect of chemical impurities on selection and sizing of centrifugal machines for supercritical carbon dioxide transport pipelines (2018)
Journal Article

Compressors and booster pumps constitute the “heart” of the supercritical carbon dioxide transport pipeline network because they consume most of the required energy input. In other words, most of the operating expenditure for the transport pipeline g...

Impacts of different demographic policies adopted by the government on the Chinese population dynamics (2018)
Thesis
Chen, Y. Impacts of different demographic policies adopted by the government on the Chinese population dynamics. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222694

This dissertation focuses on three demographic policies that Chinese government adopted after Eonomic reform in 1978: the one-child policy, the two-child policy, and the migration policy. In the first chapter, I employ regional and provincial level d... Read More about Impacts of different demographic policies adopted by the government on the Chinese population dynamics.
