Leidenfrost transition temperature for stainless steel meshes (2016)
Journal Article
Geraldi, N., McHale, G., Xu, B., Wells, G., Dodd, L., Wood, D., & Newton, M. (2016). Leidenfrost transition temperature for stainless steel meshes. Materials Letters, 176, 205-208. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2016.04.124

On surfaces well above 100 °C water does not simply boil away. When there is a sufficient heat transfer between the solid and the liquid a continuous vapour layer instantaneous forms under a droplet of water and the drop sits on a cushion of vapour,...

Who likes me more? Analysing entity-centric language-specific bias in multilingual Wikipedia (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhou, Y., Demidova, E., & Cristea, A. (2016, April). Who likes me more? Analysing entity-centric language-specific bias in multilingual Wikipedia. Presented at SAC 2016, 31st ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, Pisa

In this paper we take an important step towards better understanding the existence and extent of entity-centric language-specific bias in multilingual Wikipedia, and any deviation from its targeted neutral point of view. We propose a methodology usin... Read More about Who likes me more? Analysing entity-centric language-specific bias in multilingual Wikipedia.

Design and development of an agent-based model for business operations faced with flood disruption (2016)
Journal Article
Li, C., & Coates, G. (2016). Design and development of an agent-based model for business operations faced with flood disruption. International Journal of Design and Nature and Ecodynamics, 11(2), 97-106. https://doi.org/10.2495/dne-v11-n2-97-106

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) constitute a major component of the United Kingdom’s economy, accounting for 99.9% of all private sector businesses and approximately 47% of annual turnover in 2014 [1]. However, these companies can suffer signific... Read More about Design and development of an agent-based model for business operations faced with flood disruption.

A high-order material point method (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ghaffari Motlagh, Y., & Coombs, W. (2023, March). A high-order material point method. Presented at ACME - UK 2016 24th Conference of the Association for Computational Mechanics in Engineering., Cardiff, UK

The material point method (MPM) is a version of the particle-in-cell (PIC) which has substantial advantages over pure Lagrangian or Eulerian methods in numerical simulations of problems involving large deformations. Using MPM helps to avoid mesh dist... Read More about A high-order material point method.

Implicit essential boundaries in the Material Point Method (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cortis, M., Coombs, W., & Augarde, C. (2023, March). Implicit essential boundaries in the Material Point Method. Presented at 24th UK Conference of the Association for Computational Mechanics in Engineering., Cardiff, UK

The Material Point Method (MPM) is a numerical boundary value problem (BVP) solver developed from particle- in-cell (PIC) methods that discretises the continuum into a set of material points. Information at these material points is mapped to a backgr... Read More about Implicit essential boundaries in the Material Point Method.

An adaptive cross approximation (ACA) for the extended boundary element method (XBEM) in anisotropic materials (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kettle, S., Hattori, G., Campos, L., Trevelyan, J., & Albuquerque, E. (2023, March). An adaptive cross approximation (ACA) for the extended boundary element method (XBEM) in anisotropic materials. Presented at 24th UK Conference of the Association for Computational Mechanics in Engineering, Cardiff, UK

The extended boundary element method (XBEM) is a modification from the standard BEM, where enrichment functions are embedded into the BEM formulation. The results obtained with this method were seen to be accurate and stable, being especially useful...

Energy dissipation in granular material under 1D compression (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mukwiri, R., Ghaffari Motlagh, Y., Coombs, W., & Augarde, C. (2023, March). Energy dissipation in granular material under 1D compression. Presented at ACME - UK 2016 24th Conference of the Association for Computational Mechanics in Engineering., Cardiff, UK

In recent years it has been shown that the micro-mechanics of one-dimensional normal compression of sands can be modelled in three-dimensions within the discrete element method [7]. The compression is displacement driven such that the top platen of t... Read More about Energy dissipation in granular material under 1D compression.

Consistent response of bird populations to climate change on two continents (2016)
Journal Article
Stephens, P., Mason, L., Green, R., Gregory, R., Sauer, J., Alison, J., …Willis, S. (2016). Consistent response of bird populations to climate change on two continents. Science, 352(6281), 84-87. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aac4858

Global climate change is a major threat to biodiversity. Large-scale analyses have generally focused on the impacts of climate change on the geographic ranges of species and on phenology, the timing of ecological phenomena. We used long-term monitori...

A Contact Detection Code using Triangles for Non-Spherical Particle Simulations (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Krestenitis, K., Weinzierl, T., & Koziara, T. (2023, March). A Contact Detection Code using Triangles for Non-Spherical Particle Simulations. Presented at 24th Conference on Computational Mechanics (ACME-UK 2016), Cardiff, UK

We present a novel DEM (discrete element method) code with explicit time stepping. DEM codes simulate billions of small particles that interact with each other primarily through collisions. Different to state-of-the-art codes, we rely on triangulated... Read More about A Contact Detection Code using Triangles for Non-Spherical Particle Simulations.

Evaluating reproductive decisions as discrete choices under social influence (2016)
Journal Article
Bentley, R., Brock, W., Caiado, C., & O'Brien, M. (2016). Evaluating reproductive decisions as discrete choices under social influence. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 371(1692), Article 20150154. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2015.0154

Discrete choice, coupled with social influence, plays a significant role in evolutionary studies of human fertility, as investigators explore how and why reproductive decisions are made. We have previously proposed that the relative magnitude of soci... Read More about Evaluating reproductive decisions as discrete choices under social influence.
