Evaluation of centralised and autonomous routing strategies in major incident response (2014)
Journal Article
Wilson, D., Hawe, G., Coates, G., & Crouch, R. (2014). Evaluation of centralised and autonomous routing strategies in major incident response. Safety Science, 70, 80-88. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssci.2014.05.001

Fast and efficient routing of emergency responders during the response to mass casualty incidents is a critical element of success. However, the predictability of the associated travel times can also have a significant effect on performance during th...

Dynamically-controlled variable-fidelity modelling for aircraft structural design optimisation (2014)
Journal Article
Allen, J., Coates, G., & Trevelyan, J. (2014). Dynamically-controlled variable-fidelity modelling for aircraft structural design optimisation. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 228(8), 1434-1449. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954410013493074

Structural mass optimisation of an aircraft design is important in increasing the likelihood that a high quality airframe is designed of minimal weight whilst providing necessary resistance to load. Analysis of such structures is often performed at a... Read More about Dynamically-controlled variable-fidelity modelling for aircraft structural design optimisation.

The equal spacing of N points on a sphere with application to partition-of-unity wave diffraction problems (2014)
Journal Article

The Extended Isogeometric Boundary Element Method (XIBEM): An Enriched Collocation BEM for Wave Scattering Analysis (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Peake, M., Trevelyan, J., & Coates, G. (2023, July). The Extended Isogeometric Boundary Element Method (XIBEM): An Enriched Collocation BEM for Wave Scattering Analysis. Presented at 10th World Congress on Computational Mechanics, Barcelona, Spain

Isogeometric analysis [1] is an increasingly popular research topic. By using the functions that describe geometries in computer-aided design (CAD) directly in numerical analysis, it oers the possibility of running engineering simulations without the...
