Influence of Lode Angle Dependency on the Critical State for Rotational Plasticity (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coombs, W., Crouch, R., & Augarde, C. (2009, September). Influence of Lode Angle Dependency on the Critical State for Rotational Plasticity. Presented at Computational Plasticity X: Fundamentals and Applications (COMPLAS X), Barcelona, Spain

The critical state in soils represents the condition whereby unbounded distortions occur with no change in volume. Many constitutive models incorporate this idealised asymptotic state as a fundamental feature. It has been shown experimentally that bo...

Low voltage microgripper for single cell manipulation (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Solano, B., Gallant, A., Greggains, G., Wood, D., & Herbert, M. (2009, September). Low voltage microgripper for single cell manipulation. Presented at 3rd International Conference on Smart Materials, Structures and Systems, Acireale, Italy

In this work, we present the characterisation of an electrothermally actuated microgripper that operates in both dry and liquid media, and shows improved performance versus existing devices. The microgripper, fabricated in a combination of polymeric... Read More about Low voltage microgripper for single cell manipulation.

Inertial thin film flow on planar surfaces featuring topography (2009)
Journal Article
Veremieiev, S., Thompson, H., Lee, Y., & Gaskell, P. (2010). Inertial thin film flow on planar surfaces featuring topography. Computers and Fluids, 39(3), 431-450. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compfluid.2009.09.007

A range of problems is investigated, involving the gravity-driven inertial flow of a thin viscous liquid film over an inclined planar surface containing topographical features, modelled via a depth-averaged form of the governing unsteady Navier–Stoke...

A robust, fine pitch probe card (2009)
Journal Article
Rosamond, M., Gallant, A., & Wood, D. (2009). A robust, fine pitch probe card. Procedia chemistry, 1(1), 792-795. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proche.2009.07.197

A new type of probe card is described which consists of inclined nickel cantilevers formed on top of a three dimensional PDMS layer. A prototype card has been built with an in-line pitch of 23 μm. The presence of a PDMS layer beneath the cantilevers... Read More about A robust, fine pitch probe card.
