Visualisation of a simple beam under a load in virtual environment (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Visualisation is generally considered to be a problem in structural design. Being an iterative process, structural design is time consuming for engineers, and results are difficult for clients to visualize. Current numerical methods have slow dynamic...

History-based weighted average voter: A novel software voting algorithm for fault-tolerant computer systems (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Voting algorithms have been widely used in the realisation of fault-tolerant systems. We propose a new software voting algorithm which uses the history record of redundant modules to compute the final output. Two versions for the novel algorithm are...

Wide-spectrum slow magnetoacoustic waves in coronal loops (2001)
Journal Article

A model interpreting variations of EUV brightness upward propagating in solar coronal loops as slow magnetoacoustic waves is developed.
