Journal Article
Klinkhieo, S., Patton, R. J., & Kambhampati, C. (2008). Robust FDI for FTC coordination in a distributed network system. IFAC Proceedings Volumes/ International Federation of Automatic Control, 41(2), 13551-13556. https://doi.org/10.3182/20080706-5-KR-1001.0468

This paper focuses on the development of a suitable Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) strategy for application to a system of inter-connected and distributed systems, as a basis for a fault-tolerant Network Control System (NCS) problem. The work fo... Read More about Robust FDI for FTC coordination in a distributed network system.

Comparison of energy harvesting systems for wireless sensor networks (2008)
Journal Article
Balouchi, F., & Gilbert, J. M. (2008). Comparison of energy harvesting systems for wireless sensor networks. International Journal of Automation and Computing, 5(4), 334-347. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11633-008-0334-2

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) offer an attractive solution to many environmental, security, and process monitoring problems. However, one barrier to their fuller adoption is the need to supply electrical power over extended periods of time without...

Management of spatial and temporal thermal dynamics using TLM (2008)
Journal Article
Koay, A. L., Wilkinson, A. J., & Pulko, S. H. (2008). Management of spatial and temporal thermal dynamics using TLM. International journal of numerical modelling, 21(6), 591-606. https://doi.org/10.1002/JNM.701

The design of a preliminary spatial thermal control algorithm is described. This is based on the traditional state-space servo design and exploits the analogy between the transmission line matrix (TLM) method and state-space. The TLM algorithm involv...

Reliable fault diagnosis scheme for a spacecraft attitude control system (2008)
Journal Article
Patton, R. J., Uppal, F. J., Simani, S., & Polle, B. (2008). Reliable fault diagnosis scheme for a spacecraft attitude control system. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part O, Journal of risk and reliability, 222(2), 139-152. https://doi.org/10.1243/1748006xjrr98

This paper presents a scheme for fault detection and isolation (FDI) of on-board gyroscope sensors and thrusters for spacecraft attitude control, based on the example of the Mars Express (MEX) satellite. The main contribution of the paper is related... Read More about Reliable fault diagnosis scheme for a spacecraft attitude control system.

TLM nodal state estimator: an alternative method of initializing a two-dimensional diffusion model (2008)
Journal Article
Koay, A. L., Wilkinson, A. J., & Pulko, S. H. (2008). TLM nodal state estimator: an alternative method of initializing a two-dimensional diffusion model. International journal of numerical modelling, 21(5), 351-368. https://doi.org/10.1002/jnm.677

The transmission line matrix (TLM) method is an established technique for modelling thermal transients in heat transfer systems. However, initial and boundary conditions have always been slightly problematic, particularly when the boundary condition...
