• Parameterization of NSGA-II for the optimal design of water distribution systems 

  Wang, Q; Wang, L; Huang, W; et al. (MDPI, 9 May 2019)

  The optimal design of Water Distribution Systems (WDSs) using multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) has received substantial attention in the past two decades. Many MOEAs have been proposed and applied successfully ...

• Catalyst-Free Hydrogen Synthesis from Liquid Ethanol: An ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Study 

  Cassone, G; Sofia, A; Rinaldi, G; et al. (American Chemical Society, 12 March 2019)

  Hydrogen is the simplest, oldest, and most widespread molecule in nature. Nevertheless, the vast majority of the hydrogen industrial production stems from steam reforming of methane performed at high temperatures or ...

• A Multi-mode Transverse Dynamic Force Microscope - Design, Identification and Control 

  Zhang, K; Herrmann, G; Edwards, C; et al. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019)

  The transverse dynamic force microscope (TDFM) and its shear force sensing principle permit true non-contact force detection in contrast to typical atomic force microscopes. The two TDFM measurement signals for the ...

• Musculoskeletal modelling of the human cervical spine for the investigation of injury mechanisms during axial impacts 

  Silvestros, P; Preatoni, E; Gill, HS; et al. (Public Library of Science, 9 May 2019)

  Head collisions in sport can result in catastrophic injuries to the cervical spine. Musculoskeletal modelling can help analyse the relationship between motion, external forces and internal loads that lead to injury. However, ...

• Rotor loading characteristics of a full-scale tidal turbine 

  Harrold, M; Ouro, P (MDPI, 17 March 2019)

  Tidal turbines are subject to highly dynamic mechanical loading through operation in some of the most energetic waters. If these loads cannot be accurately quantified at the design stage, turbine developers run the risk ...
