Modelling of the water retention characteristic of deformable soils (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, Y., Sheng, D., Ross, K., & Toll, D. G. (2016, September). Modelling of the water retention characteristic of deformable soils. Presented at 3rd European Conference on Unsaturated Soils, Paris

A recently proposed water retention model has been further developed for the application on unsaturated deformable soils. The physical mechanisms underpinning the water retention characteristic of soils was at first described in terms of traditional...

Comparison of Soil Water Retention Curves for sandy clay, obtained using different laboratory testing methods (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Osinski, P., Toll, D., & Koda, E. (2016, September). Comparison of Soil Water Retention Curves for sandy clay, obtained using different laboratory testing methods. Presented at 3rd European Conference on Unsaturated Soils, Paris, France

The design of engineering structures is still a challenging task when considering unsaturated soil mechanics behaviour. The present paper focuses on analysing Soil Water Retention Curves (SWRC) for clayey soil samples collected from a purpose built e...

Water repellent soils: the case for unsaturated soil mechanics (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Beckett, C., Fourie, A., & Toll, D. (2016, September). Water repellent soils: the case for unsaturated soil mechanics. Presented at 3rd European Conference on Unsaturated Soils, Paris, France

Water repellent (or “hydrophobic” or “non-wetting”) soils have been studied by soil scientists for well over a century. These soils are typified by poor water infiltration, which leads to increased soil erosion and poor crop growth. However, the impo...

Single-Walled Carbon-Nanotubes-Based Organic Memory Structures (2016)
Journal Article
Fakher, S., Nejm, R., Ayesh, A., AL-Ghaferi, A., Zeze, D., & Mabrook, M. (2016). Single-Walled Carbon-Nanotubes-Based Organic Memory Structures. Molecules, 21(9), Article 1166. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules21091166

The electrical behaviour of organic memory structures, based on single-walled carbon-nanotubes (SWCNTs), metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) and thin film transistor (TFT) structures, using poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as the gate dielectric, are...

Lewis, M. López-Ibáñez, G. Ochoa, & B. Paechter (Eds.), Parallel problem solving from nature – PPSN XIV : 14th International Conference, Edinburgh, UK, September 17-21, 2016 : proceedings (644-654). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-45823-6_60

The potential of Evolution in Materio (EiM) for machine learning problems is explored here. This technique makes use of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) to influence the processing abilities of an un-configured physically rich medium, via exploitation o...

Evolution of Electronic Circuits using Carbon Nanotube Composites (2016)
Journal Article
Massey, M., Kotsialos, A., Volpati, D., Vissol-Gaudin, E., Pearson, C., Bowen, L., …Petty, M. (2016). Evolution of Electronic Circuits using Carbon Nanotube Composites. Scientific Reports, 6, Article 32197. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep32197

Evolution-in-materio concerns the computer controlled manipulation of material systems using external stimuli to train or evolve the material to perform a useful function. In this paper we demonstrate the evolution of a disordered composite material,... Read More about Evolution of Electronic Circuits using Carbon Nanotube Composites.
