Improvement of semi-active control suspensions based on gain-scheduling control
Thesis
Hammood, H. (in press). Improvement of semi-active control suspensions based on gain-scheduling control. (Thesis). University of Salford

This study presents the development of a non-linear control strategy for a semi-active suspension controller using a gain-scheduling structure controller. The aim of the study is to overcome the constraints of conventional control strategies and impr... Read More about Improvement of semi-active control suspensions based on gain-scheduling control.

Flame propagation through different sizes of metal mesh and mitigation using fine water sprays
Thesis
Ahmadu, A. (in press). Flame propagation through different sizes of metal mesh and mitigation using fine water sprays. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Explosion is one of the major problems faced in dealing with flammable hydrocarbon gases.
Following the recent tragic incident resulting from gas and vapour cloud explosion around
the globe, there has been a great interest in the use of fine water... Read More about Flame propagation through different sizes of metal mesh and mitigation using fine water sprays.

Adaptive robust interaction control for low-cost robotic grasping
Thesis
Mahboubi Heydarabad, S. (in press). Adaptive robust interaction control for low-cost robotic grasping. (Thesis). University of Salford

Robotic grasping is a challenging area in the field of robotics. When a gripper starts interacting with an object to perform a grasp, the mechanical properties of the object (stiffness and damping) will play an important role. A gripper which is stab...
