Localization of Mobile Robots for Precision Manufacturing
(Auckland University of Technology, 2021)To manufacture a bigger part, you need a larger machine!" This paradigm is going to be broken through the development of mobile robots that can move around a part and apply a manufacturing operation to it, instead of ... -
Modeling of an electroactive polymer hydrogel for optical applications
(Auckland University of Technology, 2006)In this work a finite element model is proposed to describe the swelling of poly(acrylic acid) hydrogels under the influence of an external electric field. The specific application of this model is for optical applications, ... -
Multi-frequency Bioimpedance Variations in a Simulated Human Forearm
(Auckland University of Technology, 2017)Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a popular technique used in the monitoring of various physiological parameters like arterial oscillation, blood volume flow rate and cardiac output. BIA is based on measuring the impedance ... -
A Novel Technique to Manufacture Carbon-free Gas Diffusion Layer for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Application by a Selective Laser Sintering (3D Printing)
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)A Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) is an integral component of a PEM fuel cell stack, which plays a significant role in determining its performance, durability and the dynamic characteristics. An ideal GDL function to simultaneously ... -
Plasmacytoma Variant Translocation 1 Gene (PVT1) as a Potential Novel Target for the Treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy
(Auckland University of Technology, 2021)Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is clinically characterized by the development of proteinuria with a subsequent decline in glomerular filtration rate which progresses over time. It is a common complication in patients with ... -
Stretchable Strain Sensors Made of Multi-wall Carbon Nanotube-based Composite
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)With the advancement of the living standard worldwide, an increasing number of people pay more attention to their health. Consequently, the industry of wearable devices for health monitoring has been experiencing rapid ... -
Understanding Upper Airway Dynamic Characteristics in OSA Patients Under Invasive and Non-invasive Treatment
(Auckland University of Technology, 2016)Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a common upper airway (UA) respiratory sleep disorder, is considered one of the most threatening diseases to quality of life worldwide. OSA occurs due to obstruction in the UA region, and is ... -
Vibration Characteristics of Stepped Thickness Circular Cylindrical Piezoelectric Shells for Ultrasound Amplifications
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)This research investigates the vibration characteristics of stepped-thickness cylindrical shells with a specific application to ultrasound power amplifications for water particle disintegration. One of the main purposes ... -
Vibration of branched circular cylindrical shells as applied to airway walls
(Auckland University of Technology, 2005)This research focuses on investigating the vibration characteristics of branched circular cylindrical shells with applications to airway passages. Analytical modelling is carried out based on Donnell-Mushtari equations of ...
