Monitoring of Curing Process of Epoxy Resin by Long-Period Fiber Gratings (2024)
Journal Article
Ivanov, O. V., Bhavsar, K., Morgan-Clague, O., & Gilbert, J. M. (2024). Monitoring of Curing Process of Epoxy Resin by Long-Period Fiber Gratings. Sensors, 24(11), Article 3397. https://doi.org/10.3390/s24113397

The curing of epoxy resin is a complex thermo-chemical process that is difficult to monitor using existing sensing systems. We monitored the curing process of an epoxy resin by using long-period fiber gratings. The refractive index of the epoxy resin...

Robustness of embedded fibre optic sensor mesh configurations for monitoring composite structures (2024)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. M., Bhavsar, K., & Ivanov, O. V. (2024). Robustness of embedded fibre optic sensor mesh configurations for monitoring composite structures. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 373, Article 115445. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.2024.115445

Fibre optic sensors are attractive for monitoring of composite structures but the significant risk of damage to fibres where they enter the structure and within the structure itself can make their use unreliable. Mesh configurations of embedded fibre... Read More about Robustness of embedded fibre optic sensor mesh configurations for monitoring composite structures.

Tidal Turbine Benchmarking Exercise: Environmental Characterisation and Geometry Specification (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tucker Harvey, S. W., Chen, X., Rowe, D., Bhavsar, K., Allsop, T., Gilbert, J., Stallard, T., Vogel, C. R., & Willden, R. H. J. (2021, September). Tidal Turbine Benchmarking Exercise: Environmental Characterisation and Geometry Specification. Presented at European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC) 2021, Plymouth, UK

Uncertainty in tidal turbine loading contributes significantly to conservatism in turbine design. This uncertainty originates not only from a lack of knowledge of the flow field at a particular site, but also from lack of understanding of the fundame...

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...
