Single event burnout sensitivity of SiC and Si (2022)
Journal Article
Littlefair, M. T. M., Simdyankin, S., Turvey, S., Groves, C., & Horsfall, A. B. (2022). Single event burnout sensitivity of SiC and Si. Semiconductor Science and Technology, 37(6), Article 065013. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6641/ac668c

Exposure to ionizing radiation has the potential to catastrophically modify the operation, and destroy, electronic components in microseconds. The electrification of aircraft necessitates the need to use the most power dense and lowest loss semicondu... Read More about Single event burnout sensitivity of SiC and Si.

MRI to MPM: Developing a Patient-specific Material Point Method Model of the Human Heart (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gavin, N., Coombs, W., Brigham, J., & Augarde, C. (2022, April). MRI to MPM: Developing a Patient-specific Material Point Method Model of the Human Heart. Paper presented at UKACM 2022, Nottingham, UK

The heart is an important organ in the human body and has been widely studied using Finite Element Analysis techniques which often require extremely fine meshes in order to obtain accurate results. Also, large deformations are typically seen in heart... Read More about MRI to MPM: Developing a Patient-specific Material Point Method Model of the Human Heart.

The Virtual Element Method for Engineers (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
O'Hare, T., & Augarde, C. (2022, April). The Virtual Element Method for Engineers. Paper presented at UKACM 2022, Nottingham, England

The virtual element method (VEM) is a relatively new technique, similar to the finite element method (FEM), but having no restriction on the number of element sides. This has numerous advantages, particularly regarding greater meshing flexibility, ho... Read More about The Virtual Element Method for Engineers.

A comparison of approaches for modelling poro-mechanics in the Material Point Method (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pretti, G., Coombs, W., & Augarde, C. (2022, April). A comparison of approaches for modelling poro-mechanics in the Material Point Method. Paper presented at UKACM 2022, Nottingham, UK

When it comes to the analysis of fully saturated porous materials, a plethora of formulations [1] are available in the literature. Among them, the so-called u − p formulation constitutes a well-established approach when low-frequency problems are con...

Long‐Term Rain Attenuation Measurement for Short‐Range mmWave Fixed Link Using DSD and ITU‐R Prediction Models (2022)
Journal Article
Zahid, O., & Salous, S. (2022). Long‐Term Rain Attenuation Measurement for Short‐Range mmWave Fixed Link Using DSD and ITU‐R Prediction Models. Radio Science, 57(4), https://doi.org/10.1029/2021rs007307

Several millimeter Wave (mmWave) bands, which suffer from rain attenuation, were identified in the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19) for fifth generation (5G) radio networks. In this paper, long-term attenuation is measured over typic... Read More about Long‐Term Rain Attenuation Measurement for Short‐Range mmWave Fixed Link Using DSD and ITU‐R Prediction Models.

DEM analysis of passive failure in structured sand ground behind a retaining wall (2022)
Journal Article
Jiang, M., Niu, M., & Zhang, W. (2022). DEM analysis of passive failure in structured sand ground behind a retaining wall. Granular Matter, 24(2), Article 61. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10035-022-01220-y

Assessment of active and passive earth pressures is of crucial importance in design of retaining structures. This paper aims to explore the progressive failure mechanism towards the passive state of natural sand ground, and to quantify the lateral ea...

Improvement Measures for Structure System Conversions Caused by Utilising SPMTs to Lift Trusses (2022)
Book Chapter
Wen, Z., Zhou, J., Dong, J., & Zhang, C. (2022). Improvement Measures for Structure System Conversions Caused by Utilising SPMTs to Lift Trusses. In Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Civil Engineering. Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-19-1260-3_2

Since the demand for accelerated construction is increasing these years, much attention has been paid to accelerated bridge construction (ABC) methods. The self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) are widely utilised in the ABC method as a versati...

A Multi-Eavesdropper Scheme Against RIS Secured LoS-Dominated Channel (2022)
Journal Article
Wei, Z., Guo, W., & Li, B. (2022). A Multi-Eavesdropper Scheme Against RIS Secured LoS-Dominated Channel. IEEE Communications Letters, 26(6), 1221-1225. https://doi.org/10.1109/lcomm.2022.3166239

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has been shown as a promising technique to increase the channel randomness for secret key generation (SKG) in low-entropy channels (e.g., static or line-of-sight (LoS)), without small-scale fading. In this let... Read More about A Multi-Eavesdropper Scheme Against RIS Secured LoS-Dominated Channel.

Nations can build and rebuild degraded soils to help address climate change and potentially improve the nutritional content of food if we change policies that allow the addition of safe mineral and organic wastes to soil. We present a framework that... Read More about A nation that rebuilds its soils rebuilds itself- an engineer's perspective.
