This research paper presents the work on feature recognition, tool path data generation and integration with STEP-NC (AP-238 format) for features having Free form/Irregular Contoured Surfaces(s) (FICS). Initially, the FICS features are modelled/impor... Read More about Integration of CAD/tool path data for 5-axis STEP-NC machining of free form/irrregular controured surfaces..

Development and testing of thin composite palladium membrane for membrane fuel cell processors. (2010)
Thesis
CHEN, C.C. 2010. Development and testing of thin composite palladium membrane for membrane fuel cell processors. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The Palladium (Pd) based membranes have long been the focus of studies for the separation of hydrogen due to its high permeability and selectivity toward hydrogen. However, palladium is a precious metal and extremely expensive and its wider applicati...

Development of a novel single-phase auto-reclosing scheme for distribution network with integrated distributed generation. (2010)
Thesis
TAN, S.F. 2010. Development of a novel single-phase auto-reclosing scheme for distribution network with integrated distributed generation. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

According to G59 recommendation, the common practice adopted by utilities in the UK is to disconnect Distributed generators (DGs) immediately once a network fault is detected to prevent islanding operation and disruption of the operation of conventio...
