Overcoming Volumetric Locking in Three-Dimensional Material Point Analysis (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coombs, W., Wang, L., & Augarde, C. (2021, May). Overcoming Volumetric Locking in Three-Dimensional Material Point Analysis. Presented at IACMAG 2021

The material point method is ideally suited to modelling large deformation problems in three dimensions, especially in cases where the finite element method struggles due to mesh distortion. However, when the method is used to analyse problems with n... Read More about Overcoming Volumetric Locking in Three-Dimensional Material Point Analysis.

Resolution of the paradox of the diamagnetic effect on the Kibble Coil (2021)
Journal Article
Li, S., Schlamminger, S., Marangoni, R., Wang, Q., Haddad, D., Seifert, F., Chao, L., Newell, D., & Zhao, W. (2021). Resolution of the paradox of the diamagnetic effect on the Kibble Coil. Scientific Reports, 11, Article 1048. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-80173-9

Employing very simple electro-mechanical principles known from classical physics, the Kibble balance establishes a very precise and absolute link between quantum electrical standards and macroscopic mass or force measurements. The success of the Kibb... Read More about Resolution of the paradox of the diamagnetic effect on the Kibble Coil.

Parametric analysis of a semi-closed-loop linear joule engine generator using argon and oxy-hydrogen combustion (2021)
Journal Article
