Numerical Prediction on Mechanical Contacts Vanguard Knee Joint replacements Tested in the Displacement-Controlled Prosim Simulator (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, Q., & Wu, J. (2009, May). Numerical Prediction on Mechanical Contacts Vanguard Knee Joint replacements Tested in the Displacement-Controlled Prosim Simulator. Presented at IMeChE Knee Arthroplasty: From Early Intervention to Revision, London

Exploring the mechanical environments in total knee replacements (TKR) has been indentified to be useful to understand the early failure of the prostheses. The severe damages observed on the retrieved polyethylene tibial component implicate that the...

Design and Optimisation of a Microgripper: Demonstration of Biomedical Applications Using the Manipulation of Oocytes (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Solano, B., Gallant, A., & Wood, D. (2009, May). Design and Optimisation of a Microgripper: Demonstration of Biomedical Applications Using the Manipulation of Oocytes. Presented at DTIP 2009: SYMPOSIUM ON DESIGN, TEST, INTEGRATION AND PACKAGING OF MEMS/MOEMS, Rome, Italy

We present a bidirectional electrothermal microgripper for the advanced manipulation of single large cells. The device demonstrates excellent performance, and shows great potential as a supporting microtool for different biomedical procedures such as...

The effect of morphology upon mobility: Implications for bulk heterojunction solar cells with nonuniform blend morphology (2009)
Journal Article
Groves, C., Koster, L., & Greenham, N. (2009). The effect of morphology upon mobility: Implications for bulk heterojunction solar cells with nonuniform blend morphology. Journal of Applied Physics, 105(9), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3117493

We use a Monte Carlo model to predict the effect of composition, domain size, and energetic disorder upon the mobility of carriers in an organic donor-acceptor blend. These simulations show that, for the changes in local morphology expected within th...

Simulation-based calibration of geotechnical parameters using parallel hybrid moving boundary particle swarm optimization (2009)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Gallipoli, D., & Augarde, C. (2009). Simulation-based calibration of geotechnical parameters using parallel hybrid moving boundary particle swarm optimization. Computers and Geotechnics, 36(4), 604-615. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compgeo.2008.09.005

Simulation-based optimization methods have been recently proposed for calibrating geotechnical models from laboratory and field tests. In these methods, geotechnical parameters are identified by matching model predictions to experimental data, i.e. b...

High fidelity microlithography patterning using computer generated holograms (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McWilliam, R., Purvis, A., Williams, G. L., Toritz-Garcia, J., Seed, L. N., & Ivey, P. A. (2009, April). High fidelity microlithography patterning using computer generated holograms. Presented at Digital holography and three-dimensional Imaging (DH), Vancouver

We investigate the achievable fidelity of line patterns produced by iterative and analytically derived computer generated holographic photomasks for the fabrication of microelectronic circuits by photolithographic exposure. Metrics for comparison are... Read More about High fidelity microlithography patterning using computer generated holograms.
