The nanostructure, wear and corrosion performance of arc-evaporated CrBxNy nanocomposite coatings
(2009)
The composition, nanostructure, tribological and corrosion behaviour of reactive arc evaporated CrBxNy coatings have been studied and compared to CrN. The CrBxNy coatings were deposited on a commercial Oerlikon Balzers RCS ...
Semantically Enhanced Online Configuration of Feedback Control Schemes
(2018)
Recent progress toward the realization of the “Internet of Things” has improved the ability of physical and soft/cyber entities to operate effectively within large-scale, heterogeneous systems. It is important that such ...
Nanostructure, mechanical and tribological properties of reactive magnetron sputtered TiCx coatings
(2008)
This study describes the correlation between microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of TiCx coatings (with x being in the range of 0–1.4), deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from a Ti target in ...
Deposition and nanotribological characterization of Sub-100-nm thick protective Ti-based coatings for miniature applications
(2011)
Ti-based protective thin films with thicknesses below 100 nm, intended for miniature applications were deposited using physical vapor deposition magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, ...
Tribological properties of twin electron-beam evaporated Cr-N and Al-Cr-N coatings under laboratory sliding and drill experiments
(2008)
The tribological behavior of substoichiometric Cr-N and Al-Cr-N coatings prepared by twin electron-beam evaporation at 450°C was studied. Al-Cr-N coatings with Al to Cr ratios in the range of 1-8 (and nitrogen concentrations ...
Distributed Design of Sensor Fault-Tolerant Control for Preserving Comfortable Indoor Conditions in Buildings⁎⁎This work was supported by the European Research Council under the ERC Advanced Grant ERC-2011-AdG-291508 and by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 739551 (KIOS CoE).
(2018)
This paper proposes a distributed fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme that can preserve thermal comfort conditions in a multi-zone building despite the presences of faulty temperature sensors. The proposed methodology ...
Centralized Fault Detection of Complex Uncertain Hybrid Systems ⁎⁎This work has been supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 739551 (KIOS CoE) and from the Government of the Republic of Cyprus through the Directorate General for European Programmes, Coordination and Development.
(2018)
This paper presents a centralized fault detection scheme for hybrid systems with nonlinear uncertain continuous dynamics and measurement noise. The scheme features a modular observer based on a modified hybrid automaton ...
COMOB: A MATLAB toolbox for sensor placement and contaminant event monitoring in multi-zone buildings
(2019)
The monitoring of the indoor air quality against the presence of contaminant sources is of paramount importance since it directly influences the occupants comfort, productivity, health and safety. Various approaches exist ...
Comparative analysis of parameter extraction techniques for the electrical characterization of multi-junction CPV and m-Si technologies
(2018)
Modelling the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) modules under real operating conditions is crucial for the better understanding of each technology. The most commonly used model for the electrical ...
