A serviceability investigation of dowel-type timber connections featuring single softwood dowels (2022)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, G., & Augarde, C. (2022). A serviceability investigation of dowel-type timber connections featuring single softwood dowels. Engineering Structures, 260, Article 114210. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2022.114210

Dowel-type connections are common in timber engineering, but current design codes are largely based on empiricism and are oversimplified. This inhibits the optimised use of connections, which is essential for the design of economically efficient timb...

Enhanced Methods for Evolution in-Materio Processors (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jones, B. A., Al Moubayed, N., Zeze, D. A., & Groves, C. (2023, November). Enhanced Methods for Evolution in-Materio Processors. Presented at IEEE International Conference on Rebooting Computing (ICRC 2021), Virtual

Evolution-in-Materio (EiM) is an unconventional computing paradigm, which uses an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to configure a material's parameters so that it can perform a computational task. While EiM processors show promise, slow manufacturing and... Read More about Enhanced Methods for Evolution in-Materio Processors.
