    This paper presents a methodology for extracting road edge and lane information for smart and intelligent navigation of vehicles. The range information provided by a fast laser range-measuring device is processed by an ...
  • Active structural control using dymanic output feedback sliding mode 
    Ha Quang; Li Jianchun; Hong Guang; Samali Bijan (ARAA (Australian Robotics & Automation Association), 2001)
    This paper presents a dynamic output feedback control approach to active control of civil engineering structures. The design is based on sliding mode control, pole placement of the closed-loop eigenvalues, and linear ...
  • The Fracture Toughness of Some Metal Matrix Composites - Comparison of Techniques 
    Heness Gregory; Mai Yiu-Wing (Elsevier Science Ltd., 2001)
    The ability to measure plane strain fracture toughness on small specimens, such as biomaterials and developmental alloys, and on materials that do not lend themselves to fatigue pre-cracking is becoming increasingly ...
  • Detection of stellates and masses in digitised mammograms 
    Thornton Barry; Lee Warwick; Nguyen Hung; Rickard Mary; Berry M; Hung Arthur (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc (IEEE), 2001)
    If detected early, breast cancer can be treated witb better patient outcomes and significantly lower costs. From recent (1998) retrospective breast cancer studies, in approximately balf of missed cases, a minimal sign ...
  • Residual Swirl in Axial-Flow Pump 
    Revel Alex; Parmigiani H S; Huynh Ba (Adelaide University, 2001)
    Measurements of residual swirl in an industry-size axial-flow pump unit have been conducted, using a Fechheimer probe. They reveal that even though the unit's components have been constructed according to well established ...
  • Production of Ultrafine Grained Copper-Zinc Alloy Using Equal Channel Angular Extrusion Technique 
    Bowen Jacob; Yeung Wing; Brough I; Prangnell Philip (Elsevier Science Ltd., 2001)
    Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) technique was employed to produce ultrafine grained copperzinc alloys in the present study. An ultrafine grained alloy with grain size of about 0.2 µm was successfully produced. ...
  • Bearing Dynamic Characteristics of the VentrAssist rotary blood pump 
    Chung Michael; Zhang Nong; Tansley Geoffrey; Woodard John (Beijing Renyan Printing House, Beijing China, 2002)
    The VentrAssist implantable rotary blood pump, intended for long term ventricular assist, is under development and is currently being tested for its rotor-dynamic stability. A shaftless impeller, which also acts as the ...
  • Analysis of the Steady state performance of doubly fed induction machines 
    Zhu Jianguo; Boardman Gerard; Ha Quang (Australian Power Engineering Committee, 2002)
