Study of scale modelling, verification and control of a heaving point absorber wave energy converter (2017)
Thesis
Guo, B. (2017). Study of scale modelling, verification and control of a heaving point absorber wave energy converter. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220352

This study focuses on scale modelling of a heaving Point Absorber Wave Energy Converter (PAWEC), model verification via wave tank tests and power maximisation control development. Starting from the boundary element method simulation of the wave-PAWEC... Read More about Study of scale modelling, verification and control of a heaving point absorber wave energy converter.

Human movement energy harvesting : a non-linear electromagnetic approach (2015)
Thesis
Yew, C. K. (2015). Human movement energy harvesting : a non-linear electromagnetic approach. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219247

Energy harvesting is one of the methods that currently engage actively in energy “recycling”. Of the many energy sources that carry the potential to have energy harvested and recycled, humans are seen as a potential source of energy. High amounts of...

Footfall energy harvesting : footfall energy harvesting conversion mechanisms (2013)
Thesis
Balouchi, F. (2013). Footfall energy harvesting : footfall energy harvesting conversion mechanisms. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215619

Ubiquitous computing and pervasive networks are prevailing to impact almost every part of our daily lives. Convergence of technologies has allowed electronic devices to become untethered. Cutting of the power-cord and communications link has provided... Read More about Footfall energy harvesting : footfall energy harvesting conversion mechanisms.

Optimisation and frequency tuning concepts for a vibration energy harvester (2010)
Thesis
Ooi, B. L. (2010). Optimisation and frequency tuning concepts for a vibration energy harvester. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4211042

With current electronic designs becoming more versatile and mobile, applications that were wired and bulky before have now seen a great reduction in size and increase in portability. However, the issue is that the scaling down in size and cost of ele... Read More about Optimisation and frequency tuning concepts for a vibration energy harvester.

Real-time detection of auditory : steady-state brainstem potentials evoked by auditory stimuli (2010)
Thesis
Cheah, L. A. (2010). Real-time detection of auditory : steady-state brainstem potentials evoked by auditory stimuli. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209793

The auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is advantageous against other hearing techniques because of its capability in providing objective and frequency specific information. The objectives are to reduce the lengthy test duration, and improve the si... Read More about Real-time detection of auditory : steady-state brainstem potentials evoked by auditory stimuli.

The design and control of mechanical switched mode drives (1997)
Thesis
Oldaker, R. (1997). The design and control of mechanical switched mode drives. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4211129

This thesis is concerned with the design, control and performance evaluation of a novel design for mechanical drives. This drive operates in a pulsed manner where energy is extracted from the input, stored and then released to the output. A spring ac...
