This paper presents details of a research project that has been undertaken at the University of Technology, Sydney by a multidisciplinary team to develop a framework model that synthesises architectural, engineering and ...

Technology used to develop safety measures and driver interactive systems is crucial in the railway environment. It is important to understand train driver risk factors which can be detrimental to driver and passenger ...

This first of two companion papers develops a new variational principle for the buckling analysis of thin-walled members based on the principle of stationary complementary energy. Some of the aspects of the Vlasov thin-walled ...

Dual systems consisting of two shear-flexural structures are often used in high-rise buildings. This paper presents a second-order analysis of such dual systems, in which closed-form solutions are derived for the lateral ...

Over several years the authors have coordinated engineering subjects, with large cohorts of up to 300+ students. In each case, lectures were supported by tutorials. In the larger subjects it was not uncommon to have in ...

In order to achieve lower cost of energy the typical power rating of large wind turbine generators has steadily increased over recent years. However, with the mast-top weight of multi-megawatt generators exceeding 100 ...

Based on the mathematical model of flyback switching DC-DC converter in the continuous current mode and the simulation model under heavy loads, this paper presents a study of the steady-state power loss in the output diode, ...

This paper addresses the variation of starting torque in a 3-phase induction motor. It presents some example results from an experimental investigation then develops a hybrid analytical/finite element method for rapid ...
