Formation of self-assembled pattern of glycine microcrystals: experiment and computer simulation (2016)
Journal Article
Shur, V. Y., Bykov, D., Romanyuk, K., Rumyantsev, E., Kadushnikov, R., Mizgulin, V., S. Hosseini, E., & Kholkin, A. (2016). Formation of self-assembled pattern of glycine microcrystals: experiment and computer simulation. Ferroelectrics, 496(1), 20-27. https://doi.org/10.1080/00150193.2016.1155401

The films of glycine consisting of isolated microcrystals were prepared by spin coating and drying of the aqueous solution. Drying leads to dewetting (arising and growth of the holes) and formation of quasi-regular arrays of microcrystals that form t...

On the use of Plastic Inserts in Prestressed Railway Components (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coombs, W. (2016, April). On the use of Plastic Inserts in Prestressed Railway Components. Presented at Railways 2016 - The Third International Conference on Railway Technology: Research, Development and Maintenance., Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy

The use of such plastic inserts (such as Vossloh dowels and other soft fastening solutions) in pre-stressed concrete sleepers and crossing bearers has become widespread within the United Kingdom, Europe and the rest of the world. This paper uses a be... Read More about On the use of Plastic Inserts in Prestressed Railway Components.

Investigations of the Rear-End Flow Structures on a Sedan Car (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kounenis, C., Bonitz, S., Ljungskog, E., Sims-Williams, D., Lofdahl, L., Broniewicz, A., Larsson, L., & Sebben, S. (2016, April). Investigations of the Rear-End Flow Structures on a Sedan Car. Presented at SAE 2016 World Congress and Exhibition, Detroit, Michigan

The aerodynamic drag, fuel consumption and hence CO2 emissions, of a road vehicle depend strongly on its flow structures and the pressure drag generated. The rear end flow which is an area of complex three-dimensional flow structures, contributes to... Read More about Investigations of the Rear-End Flow Structures on a Sedan Car.

Semitransparent and Low-Voltage Operating Organic Light-Emitting Field-Effect Transistors Processed at Low Temperatures (2016)
Journal Article
Ullah, M., Wawrzinek, R., Maasoumi, F., Lo, S.-C., & Namdas, E. B. (2016). Semitransparent and Low-Voltage Operating Organic Light-Emitting Field-Effect Transistors Processed at Low Temperatures. Advanced Optical Materials, 4(7), 1022-1026. https://doi.org/10.1002/adom.201600050

A see-through organic light emitting field-effect transistor (LEFET) is realized by using a highly transparent, high mobility material. Low voltage operated LEFETs with increased optical and electrical characteristics are shown.

Branched crack modelling with the Cracking Particle Method (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ai, W., Augarde, C., & Trevelyan, J. (2023, March). Branched crack modelling with the Cracking Particle Method. Presented at ACME - UK 2016 24th Conference of the Association for Computational Mechanics in Engineering., Cardiff, UK

Multiple crack simulation is of great importance in failure analysis since fracture in brittle materials in practice usually comprises multiple cracks. Traditional numerical methods like the extended finite element and the element free Galerkin metho... Read More about Branched crack modelling with the Cracking Particle Method.

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.

Two dimensional configurational-force-driven crack propagation using the discontinuous Galerkin method with rp-adaptivity (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
