Journal Article
Lan, J., & Patton, R. J. (2018). A decoupling approach to integrated fault-tolerant control for linear systems with unmatched non-differentiable faults. Automatica : the journal of IFAC, the International Federation of Automatic Control, 89, 290-299. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.automatica.2017.12.011

This paper proposes a decoupling approach to the integrated design of fault estimation (FE) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) for linear systems in the presence of unknown bounded actuator faults and perturbations. An adaptive sliding mode augmented s... Read More about A decoupling approach to integrated fault-tolerant control for linear systems with unmatched non-differentiable faults.

Although the heaving Point Absorber (PA) concept is well known in wave energy conversion research, few studies focus on appropriate modelling of non-linear fluid viscous and mechanical friction dynamics. Even though these concepts are known to have n... Read More about Nonlinear Modeling and Verification of a Heaving Point Absorber for Wave Energy Conversion.

Journal Article
Walker, M., Theaker, H., Yaman, R., Poggio, D., Nimmo, W., Bywater, A., …Pourkashanian, M. (2017). Assessment of micro-scale anaerobic digestion for management of urban organic waste: A case study in London, UK. Waste Management, 61, 258-268. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2017.01.036

This paper describes the analysis of an AD plant that is novel in that it is located in an urban environment, built on a micro-scale, fed on food and catering waste, and operates as a purposeful system. The plant was built in 2013 and continues to op... Read More about Assessment of micro-scale anaerobic digestion for management of urban organic waste: A case study in London, UK.
