A Food Monitoring System using Image Segmentation and Machine Learning (2019)
Thesis
Alatawi, M. I. (2019). A Food Monitoring System using Image Segmentation and Machine Learning. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4912448

In recent years, the number of people requiring dietary monitoring has risen, and dietary records are an essential part of the diagnosis and treatment of many health problems. This project designs and evaluates a food monitoring system for use in ins... Read More about A Food Monitoring System using Image Segmentation and Machine Learning.

Hydrodynamic and control optimization for a heaving point absorber wave energy converter (2019)
Thesis
Jin, S. Hydrodynamic and control optimization for a heaving point absorber wave energy converter. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221763

The thesis aims at studying the non-linear performance of a designed 1/50 scale point absorber wave energy converter (PAWEC) in heave motion. In particular, designs of the PAWEC geometry and control strategy are considered to optimize the power captu...

Relationship between Surface Mechanical Properties and Foam Stability (2019)
Thesis
Pang, Y. (2019). Relationship between Surface Mechanical Properties and Foam Stability. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4912429

This thesis is concerned with foam stability and surface mechanical properties (including surface tension and surface rheological properties) of liquid-air interfaces of foams. In particular, the question as to which surface mechanical property (or p... Read More about Relationship between Surface Mechanical Properties and Foam Stability.

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...
