A design technique for geometric optimisation of resonant coil sizes in low to mid frequency inductive power transmission systems.
… of Tx and Rx sides and (iii) the Tx/Rx coil's geometrical size. In considering these impacting factors, different techniques to improve PTE have been extensively presented in the literature and are comprehensively reviewed in this thesis. The research work undertaken focuses on the geometrical …

Thin-walled composite deployable booms with tape-spring hinges
… interfere with other spacecraft components. A geometric optimisation study was carried out by parameterising the slot geometry in terms of slot length, width and end circle diameter. The stress-resultant based failure criterion was then used to analyse the safety of the structure. The …

Geometric and numerical optimisation of single- and two-phase convective heat transfer in microchannel heat sinks
… of its high thermal conductivity. Simulation and optimisation studies of two-phase and single-phase convective heat transfer in microchannels are limited considering the way they have been done presently. Goal driven optimisation was used and the volumes of microchannels and heat sinks were fixed …

Numerical optimisation and theoretical analysis of complex microchannel heat exchangers
… substrate. ANSYS FLUENT Response Surface Optimisation Tool (RSO) was used to numerically optimise and compare the performance of combined microchannel heat sinks with perforated, solid, half-hollow and hollow fins. The simulation began by optimising a typical microchannel heat sink …
