Is the wear factor in total joint replacements dependent on the nominal contact stress in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene contacts? (2004)
Journal Article
Vassiliou, K., & Unsworth, A. (2004). Is the wear factor in total joint replacements dependent on the nominal contact stress in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene contacts?. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 218(2), 101-107. https://doi.org/10.1243/095441104322983997

The exact dependence of wear factor on contact stress, load and apparent contact area is much disputed in the literature. This study attempts to solve this dispute. Pin-on-plate studies of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene against stainless st...

Wave boundary elements : a theoretical overview presenting applications in scattering of short waves (2004)
Journal Article
Perrey-Debain, E., Trevelyan, J., & Bettess, P. (2004). Wave boundary elements : a theoretical overview presenting applications in scattering of short waves. Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements, 28(2), 131-141. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0955-7997%2803%2900127-9

It is well known that the use of conventional discrete numerical methods of analysis (FEM and BEM) in the solution of Helmholtz and elastodynamic wave problems is limited by an upper bound on frequency. The current work addresses this problem by inco... Read More about Wave boundary elements : a theoretical overview presenting applications in scattering of short waves.

The role of fabrication techniques on the performance of widely tunable micromachined capacitors (2004)
Journal Article
Gallant, A., & Wood, D. (2004). The role of fabrication techniques on the performance of widely tunable micromachined capacitors. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 110(1-3), 423-431. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.2003.07.006

Coventorware 2001.1® is used to identify key vertical dimensions for the low voltage operation of a two-gap widely tunable capacitor. Using identical masking stages, two varieties of tunable capacitor are presented. Nickel structures are demonstrated...

Developing cost models by advanced modelling technology (2004)
Journal Article
Stockton, D., & Wang, Q. (2004). Developing cost models by advanced modelling technology. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 218(2), 213-224. https://doi.org/10.1243/095440504322886532

The aim of this paper is to examine the use of artificial neural network (ANNs) in the development of cost models. Although such advanced modelling techniques have been highly successful in many engineering areas, this success has been strongly depen...

Lithography-free high aspect ratio submicron quartz columns by reactive ion etching (2004)
Journal Article
Zeze, D., Cox, D., Weiss, B., & Silva, S. (2004). Lithography-free high aspect ratio submicron quartz columns by reactive ion etching. Applied Physics Letters, 84(8), 1362-1364. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1647280

We describe lithography-free fabrication of sub-micron surface features on quartz substrates by the reactive ion etching (RIE) in a CF4/Ar atmosphere. These submicron glass columns are well defined, have a high aspect ratio, with the underlying subst...
