(author)Recent studies have demonstrated the viability of quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment for processing martensitic stainless steels showing an improved balance of high strength and sufficient ductility. However, to date, the fatigue behaviour of these materials has not been explored. This study examines the effect of their complex...journal article 2023

Li, Q. (author), Finn, Adrian J. (author), Doyle, Stephen J. (author), Smith, Robin (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)The synthesis of heat-integrated distillation sequences for energy-efficient separation of zeotropic multicomponent mixtures is complex due to the many interconnected design degrees of freedom. This paper explores the basis on which reliable screening can be carried out. To solve this problem, a screening algorithm has been developed using...book chapter 2023

Dutta, Shamak (author), Wilde, N. (author), Smith, Stephen L. (author)We consider a general form of the sensor scheduling problem for state estimation of linear dynamical systems, which involves selecting sensors that minimize the trace of the Kalman filter error covariance (weighted by a positive semidefinite matrix) subject to polyhedral constraints. This general form captures several well-studied problems...conference paper 2023

Khosravi, M. (author), Smith, Roy S. (author)The notion of reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) has emerged in system identification during the past decade. In the resulting framework, the impulse response estimation problem is formulated as a regularized optimization defined on an infinite-dimensional RKHS consisting of stable impulse responses. The consequent estimation problem is...journal article 2023

(author)Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment has been proven effective in manufacturing advanced high strength steels with high content of retained austenite, showing the improved balance of high strength and sufficient ductility. This method has been very well elaborated for carbon steel processing over the last two decades. Though it can...journal article 2023

Khosravi, M. (author), Smith, R. S. (author)In this article, we consider the problem of system identification when side-information is available on the steady-state gain (SSG) of the system. We formulate a general nonparametric identification method as an infinite-dimensional constrained convex program over the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) of stable impulse responses. The...journal article 2023

Khosravi, M. (author), Smith, Roy S. (author)This paper discusses the problem of system identification when frequency domain side-information is available. We mainly consider the case where the side-information is provided as the H<sub>∞</sub>-norm of the system being bounded by a given scalar. This framework allows considering different forms of frequency domain side-information, such...journal article 2023

Tsan, Vi hung (author), Fan, D. (author), Caneva, S. (author), Smith, C.S. (author), Verbiest, G.J. (author)A low-cost glass-based microfluidic flow cell with a piezo actuator is built using off-the-shelf parts (total cost €9 per device) to apply acoustophoretic force on polystyrene micro-beads. The main challenge in the fabrication of these devices was to ensure their leak tightness, which we solved using double-sided tape and nail polish. Beads...journal article 2023

Botros, Alexander (author), Sadeghi, Armin (author), Wilde, N. (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Smith, Stephen L. (author)Many problems in robotics seek to simultaneously optimize several competing objectives under constraints. A conventional approach to solving such multi-objective optimization problems is to create a single cost function comprised of the weighted sum of the individual objectives. Solutions to this scalarized optimization problem are Pareto...conference paper 2023
