Smart Surfaces for Anti-Scaling

University of Edinburgh School of Engineering

Scaling and mineral deposits that occur due to dissolved materials in water is a problem in many industrial applications. How to remove this scaling without the use of harsh chemicals or methods to prevent it is crucial importance to both the environment and the economy. Read more

Behaviour of Granular Materials

University of Sydney School of Civil Engineering

Granular materials such as sand, snow, rice, ores, powders and soils are prevalent in nature and industry. Understanding the way they deform, fail, flow and mix is key to predict events such as landslides, erosion, earthquakes and snow avalanches. Read more

Application of predictive control to fast systems

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

Predictive control is relatively unwieldy and therefore does not lend itself to applications requiring fast sample rates. However many recent developments have looked at how the algorithm can be implemented both more efficiently in time and with relatively simple coding requirements. Read more

Predictive control of non-linear and/or robust systems

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

Predictive control is by now a well established methodology whereby one bases the design of the control law on the optimisation of system predictions. Read more

Multi-rate and/or non square systems and/or decentralised control

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

In many chemical processes there are limitations on the sampling rates and the number of inputs and outputs may not match. This affects the structure of the control law as one ends up with a so called multi-rate or non-square system , for which conventional control design is not applicable. Read more

Computational efficiency in predictive control

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

Predictive control requires the online solution of an optimisation problem which carries both a large online computation as well as the overhead of substantial code. Read more
