Dynamics modelling, simulation, and control of a spacecraft/manipulator system

Four well-known formalisms for mathematical modelling of the dynamics of a spacecraft/manipulator system are derived from the unifying d'Alembert principle. The Newton-Euler formalism is discussed in more detail, as it allows efficient numerical simulation. An algorithm is defined for the control of the manipulator end-effector motion in...

Report on the ICES subsystem FLOWS

FLOWS is a recently developed ICES subsystem for applications in the field of hydraulic engineering. It is able to compute steady as well as unsteady flows in hydraulic networks of given dimensions. This means that is does not optimize any parameters describing the network. The network may be composed of open and closed channels, reservoirs and...

Computation of Coastal Morphology

To solve coastal sediment transport and morphology problems, it is necessary to construct a hydrodynamics model to simulate the fluid flow. The hydrodynamics model is then used to calculate sediment transport rates and in turn, these sediment transport rates are used to determine morphology. The hydrodynamics model is based on the Equation of...

An analysis of longshore currents and associated sediment transport in the surf zone

Two momentum based longshore current models and a preliminary longshore sediment transport model are derived, calibrated and tested in the present investigation. The Linear Longshore Current Model predicts the relatively small longshore current induced by monochromatic, two dimensional, gravity waves of finite height and near normal incidence...

A review of wire arc additive manufacturing: Development, principles, process physics, implementation and current status

Additive manufacturing (AM) is now recognised as a viable alternative to processes such as casting, forging, and subtractive technologies such as machining. Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has emerged as a cost-effective AM approach for component fabrication and a considerable body of literature on the subject has become available over...

Advancing ecohydrology in the 21st century: A convergence of opportunities

Nature-based solutions for water-resource challenges require advances in the science of ecohydrology. Current understanding is limited by a shortage of observations and theories that can further our capability to synthesize complex processes across scales ranging from submillimetres to tens of kilometres. Recent developments in environmental...
