Platform Control of an Offshore Floating Wind Turbine (2025)
Thesis
Zhao, Y. (2025). Platform Control of an Offshore Floating Wind Turbine. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5292472

Offshore floating wind turbines (OFWT) have been researched and developed dramatically with larger rotor blades and taller towers in recent years. Tower and rotor blade asymmetrical loading lead to structural fatigue, giving rise to a significant cha... Read More about Platform Control of an Offshore Floating Wind Turbine.

Multi Point Sensing and Defect Detection of Wind Turbine Blades: An Approach Using Fibre Bragg Gratings (2025)
Thesis
Sihivahana Sarma, A. (2025). Multi Point Sensing and Defect Detection of Wind Turbine Blades: An Approach Using Fibre Bragg Gratings. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5126324

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of Wind Turbine Blades (WTBs) plays a critical role in ensuring safe and cost-effective operations of these complex structures. However, detecting manufacturing-induced defects and operation-induced damages poses si...

Noise Attenuation Using Acoustic Resonators: A Multifactorial Investigation and Characterisation of Performance Factors (2025)
Thesis
Houston, B. (2025). Noise Attenuation Using Acoustic Resonators: A Multifactorial Investigation and Characterisation of Performance Factors. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5132751

Unwanted or harmful sound is considered noise. If not addressed, it can cause psychological and physiological harm and have detrimental effects on structures and machinery. Despite the widespread use of acoustic resonators for noise reduction, there...

Energy Maximization of Control for a Point Absorber Wave Energy Converter (2024)
Thesis
Li, D. Energy Maximization of Control for a Point Absorber Wave Energy Converter. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4704554

To date, one of the main challenges and requirements in wave energy technologies is to design energy-maximising control for a wave energy converter (WEC) device to achieve the energy maximization production, so as to reduce the levelized cost of ener...

Laterality, reproduction and parental care : an investigation in fish (2021)
Thesis
McLean, S. E. Laterality, reproduction and parental care : an investigation in fish. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224172

Cerebral lateralisation or ‘laterality’, the partitioning of different cognitive functions in specific brain hemispheres, is a selectively advantageous trait that can enhance cognition. The selective advantages of exhibiting laterality are hypothesis... Read More about Laterality, reproduction and parental care : an investigation in fish.

Nutritional ecology of farmland bee larvae under a changing climate (2019)
Thesis
Bagnall, T. E. Nutritional ecology of farmland bee larvae under a changing climate. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222825

1. Bees are a major component of a healthy ecosystem, pollinating almost all globally important crops and flowering plants. Pollinator numbers are dropping drastically however, with human-induced landscape change and an enhanced greenhouse effect par...

The nutritional ecology of farmland bees : behavioural and community approach (2019)
Thesis
Austin, A. J. The nutritional ecology of farmland bees : behavioural and community approach. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221704

Nutritional degradation, attributed to agriculture, is a primary driver of bee declines, yet we know very little about bee larval nutrition. How larvae deal with nutritional variation in their provisions remains relatively unexplored. Additionally, t...

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...

Direct Speech Reconstruction from Articulatory Sensor Data by Machine Learning (2017)
Journal Article
Gonzalez, J. A., Cheah, L. A., Gomez, A. M., Green, P. D., Gilbert, J. M., Ell, S. R., Moore, R. K., & Holdsworth, E. (2017). Direct Speech Reconstruction from Articulatory Sensor Data by Machine Learning. IEEE/ACM transactions on audio, speech, and language processing, 25(12), 2362-2374. https://doi.org/10.1109/TASLP.2017.2757263

© 2014 IEEE. This paper describes a technique that generates speech acoustics from articulator movements. Our motivation is to help people who can no longer speak following laryngectomy, a procedure that is carried out tens of thousands of times per...
