  • Wilson, DI (School of Engineering, AUT University; 2012)
    The continual search for solutions that are better, faster and more efficient is second nature to all engineers. This activity is known as optimisation. But industrial optimisation problems are like the mythical beast, the ...
  • Oshikiri, J; Anderson, TN (Centre for Continuing Education The University of Auckland; 2012)
    Glazed flat plate solar collectors offer a simple and cost effective approach to heating water. However, on clear nights solar collectors can transfer a significant amount of heat to the atmosphere by radiation. In areas ...
  • Abdul Wahab, H; Duke, M; Carson, JK; Anderson, TN (Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia; 2012)
    The use of energy in buildings is an ongoing concern, not only in NZ but worldwide. This concern has led to significant growth in the use of solar energy to provide heating and electricity generation. This paper presents ...
  • Robotham, AJ (Virtual Engineering Centre, the University of Liverpool; 2012)
    Hi-fidelity models require lengthy preparation Superfluous model data impedes the real-time experience Interaction requires intuitive and unobtrusive controls Immersion requires high refresh rates and accurate tracking ...
  • Moir, T (AUT University, John Wiley & Sons; 2012)
    A method for the linear least-squares estimation of random signals contaminated with random noise is shown that uses a new method of spectral factorization. It is shown that the optimal filter can be written entirely in ...
  • Shao, F; Robotham, AJ; Hon, KK (Aston Business School; 2012)
    The recent improvements of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies makes it feasible for automotive design reviews to be carried out in a virtual world. Design review with virtual prototypes could reduce costs by eliminating the ...
  • Caughley, AJ; Tucker, A; Gschwendtner, M; Sellier, M (American Institute of Physics, AUT University; 2012)
    Industrial Research Ltd has developed a unique diaphragm-based pressure wave generator technology for employment in pulse tube and Stirling cryocoolers. The system uses a pair of metal diaphragms to separate the clean ...
  • Robotham, A; Shao, F (University of Liverpool Management School (ULMS), AUT University; 2012)
    In response to the need to develop more sophisticated, higher quality products product developers are more and more expecting engineering simulations to provide them with the data, information, and knowledge required to ...
  • Chen, ZW; Yazdanian, S; Littlefair, G (TWI, AUT University; 2012)
    Friction stir lap diffusion welding (FSLDW) of Al-to-steel experiments were conducted followed by mechanical testing and metallurgical examination of the welds to study the formation of microstructure at the interface ...
  • Anderson, T; Luther, M (Taylor & Francis, AUT University; 2012)
    In many highly glazed buildings, the thermal comfort of the occupants will tend to be related to the incoming solar energy and the heat transfer behaviour of the glazing. In this study, several glazing systems were designed ...
  • Jiang, F; Keating, A; Martyniuk, M; Prasad, K; Faraone, L; Dell, JM (IOP Publishing, AUT University; 2012)
    The principal aim of this work was to characterize deep silicon etching at sample temperatures well-below room temperature, using SF6/O2 inductively coupled plasma (ICP) for micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) applications. ...
  • Maclaren, P; Singamemmi, S; Wilson, DI (AUT University; 2012)
    Within any discipline, teaching involves a distinctive relationship between content, pedagogical approaches and the use of technologies. In engineering education, the content includes mathematical symbolic and diagrammatic ...
  • Gschwendtner, MA; Caughley, AJ; Sellier, M; Tucker, A (Cryogenic Society of America, AUT University; 2012)
    Industrial Research Ltd has developed a unique diaphragm-based pressure wave generator technology for employment in pulse tube and Stirling cryocoolers. The system uses a pair of metal diaphragms to separate the clean ...
  • White, DE; Al-Jumaily, AM; Bartley, J; Lu, J (AUT University, Elsevier; 2011)
    Nasal morphology plays an important functional role in the maintenance of upper airway health. Identification of functional regions, based on morphological attributes, assists in correlating location to primary purpose. ...
  • Moir, T; Alam, F; Harris, J (AUT University; 2011)
    Crosstalk resistant adaptive noise cancellation (CTRANC) is a method of separat-ing convolutively mixed sources where little a priori information is known about the system. Possible areas of application for such an algorithm ...
  • Huang, L; Murton, C (AUT University; 2011)
    This paper presents the development of a PCbased control system for an unmanned micro aerial vehicle (UAV) that has been converted from a helicopter model. The hand-controller of the helicopter model is modified to be a ...
  • Anderson, TN; Luther, M; Brain, T (AUT University, University of Sydney; 2011)
    In many highly glazed buildings, the thermal comfort of the occupants will tend to be related to the incoming solar energy and the solar heat gain coefficient of the glazing. Many real buildings tend to be deep relative ...
  • Luther, M; Anderson, TN; Brain, T (AUT University, International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA); 2011)
    Over the past decades there has been a great deal of research related to simulation programs that calculate glazing thermal performance. In this study, several glazing systems were designed using VISION 3 (University of ...
  • Robotham, A (The University of Liverpool; 2011)
    Designing is more than just creating a product...it is also about creating an emotional experience! This presentation provides an overview of the Virtual Engineering Centre and its work with Optis UK and Bentley Motors to ...
  • White, DE; Al-Jumaily, AM; Bartley, J; Lu, J; Hankin, RKS (AUT University; 2011)
    Air delivered under augmented pressure during breathing therapy normally requires external humidification in order to avoid upper airways dryness and discomfort. Nasal heat and water flux between air and mucosa is dynamically ...
