Interactive three-dimensional boundary element stress analysis of components in aircraft structures (2015)
Journal Article
Foster, T., Mohamed, M., Trevelyan, J., Coates, G., Spence, S., & Walker, S. (2015). Interactive three-dimensional boundary element stress analysis of components in aircraft structures. Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements, 56, 190-200. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enganabound.2015.01.017

Computer aided design of mechanical components is an iterative process that often involves multiple stress analysis runs; this can be time consuming and expensive. Significant efficiency improvements can be made by increasing interactivity at the con...

A Dynamic Clearance Seal for Steam Turbine Application. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Messenger, A., Williams, R., Ingram, G., Hogg, S., Tibos, S., & Seaton, J. (2015, June). A Dynamic Clearance Seal for Steam Turbine Application. Presented at ASME Turbo Expo 2015: Turbine Technical Conference and Exposition American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Montreal

Effective sealing in turbomachinery reduces the leakage flow bypassing the turbine blades and also reduces the losses where the leakage flow mixes with the primary flow. In general the clearance should be as small as possible but is limited by therma... Read More about A Dynamic Clearance Seal for Steam Turbine Application..

Experimental Validation of a Curtain Type Fluidic Jet Seal on a Turbine Rotor Shroud (2015)

This divided land: An examination of regional inequalities in exposure to brownfield land and the association with morbidity and mortality in England. Health & Place, 34, 257-269. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.healthplace.2015.05.010

This paper is the first empirical examination of the association between brownfield land and spatial inequalities in health. Linear mixed modelling of ward-level data suggests that there is higher exposure and susceptibility to brownfield land in the...
