Mitigating yield losses due to lodging of cereal crops (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sterling, M., Baker, C., Joseph, G., Gillmeier, S., Mohammadi, M., Blackburn, G., Wyatt, D., Gullick, D., Berry, P., Hatley, D., Spink, J., Finan, J., Miao, Y., Thanda, D., & Sonder, K. (2018, March). Mitigating yield losses due to lodging of cereal crops. Paper presented at International Workshop on Wind-Related Disasters and Mitigation Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan

High winds and rainfall can cause crop lodging, the permanent displacement of plant stems from their vertical position either as root lodging, where the plant root system fails, or as stem lodging, where the stem fails at some point above the ground....

An adaptive cracking particle method providing explicit and accurate description of 3D crack surfaces (2018)
Journal Article
Ai, W., & Augarde, C. (2018). An adaptive cracking particle method providing explicit and accurate description of 3D crack surfaces. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 114(12), 1291-1309. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.5786

Cracks in 3D have arbitrary shapes and therefore present difficulties for numerical modelling. A novel adaptive cracking particle method with explicit and accurate description of 3D cracks is described in this paper. In this meshless method, crack su...
