Abstract: This study focuses on improving the control system of vehicle suspension,
which is critical for optimizing driving dynamics and enhancing passenger comfort.
Traditional passive suspension systems are limited in their ability to effectively mitigate
road-induced vibrations, often resulting in compromised ride quality and vehicle
handli…
The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) programme aims to deliver a UK prototype fusion energy plant, targeting 2040, and a path to commercial viability of fusion. The STEP Prototype Powerplant (SPP) has the objectives to generate 100 MWe of net electrical power, be tritium self-sufficient, demonstrate high-grade heat, an…
A small, novel, integrated SHM system has been deployed during full-scale testing of a wing fatigue test and a fuselage pressurisation test. Complementary NDE measurement techniques were combined, with inputs from visible and infrared optical sensors, as well as resistance strain gauges. Sensor unitswere deployed at regions of interest and int…
