A cone penetration test (CPT) approach to cable plough performance prediction based upon centrifuge model testing (2020)
Journal Article
Robinson, S., Brown, M., Matsui, H., Brennan, A., Augarde, C., Coombs, W., & Cortis, M. (2021). A cone penetration test (CPT) approach to cable plough performance prediction based upon centrifuge model testing. Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 58(10), 1466-1477. https://doi.org/10.1139/cgj-2020-0366

Cable ploughing is an important technique for burying and protecting offshore cables. The ability to predict the required tow force and plough performance is essential to allow vessel selection and project programming. Existing tow force models requi...

Effects of screw pile installation on installation requirements and in-service performance using the Discrete Element Method (2020)
Journal Article
Sharif, Y., Brown, M., Cerfontaine, B., Davidson, C., Ciantia, M., Knappett, J., …Ottolini, M. (2021). Effects of screw pile installation on installation requirements and in-service performance using the Discrete Element Method. Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 58(9), 1334-1350. https://doi.org/10.1139/cgj-2020-0241

Existing guidance on the installation of screw piles suggest that they should be installed in a pitch-matched manner to avoid disturbance to the soil which may have a detrimental effect on the in-service performance of the pile. Recent insights from... Read More about Effects of screw pile installation on installation requirements and in-service performance using the Discrete Element Method.

Physical modelling to demonstrate the feasibility of screw piles for offshore jacket supported wind energy structures (2020)
Journal Article
Davidson, C., Brown, M., Cerfontaine, B., Knappett, J., Brennan, A., Al-Baghdadi, T., …Ball, J. (2022). Physical modelling to demonstrate the feasibility of screw piles for offshore jacket supported wind energy structures. Géotechnique, 72(2), 108-126. https://doi.org/10.1680/jgeot.18.p.311

Screw piles potentially offer quieter installation and enhanced axial tensile capacity over straight-shafted driven piles. As such, they have been suggested as a possible foundation solution for offshore jacket supported wind turbines in deeper water...

An implicit non-ordinary state-based peridynamics with stabilised correspondence material model for finite deformation analysis (2020)
Journal Article
Hashim, N. A., Coombs, W., Augarde, C., & Hattori, G. (2020). An implicit non-ordinary state-based peridynamics with stabilised correspondence material model for finite deformation analysis. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 371, Article 113304. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2020.113304

This paper is devoted to the development of a stabilised implicit non-ordinary state-based peridynamics approach. We propose a geometrically nonlinear implicit approach focusing on quasi-static analyses. Since the construction of the Jacobian matrix...

A Finite Element approach for determining the full load-displacement relationship of axially-loaded shallow screw anchors, incorporating installation effects (2020)
Journal Article
Cerfontaine, B., Knappett, J., Brown, M., Davidson, C., Al-Baghdadi, T., Sharif, Y., …Ball, J. (2021). A Finite Element approach for determining the full load-displacement relationship of axially-loaded shallow screw anchors, incorporating installation effects. Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 58(4), 565-582. https://doi.org/10.1139/cgj-2019-0548

Screw anchors have been recognised as an innovative solution to support offshore jacket structures and floating systems, due to their low noise installation and potential enhanced uplift capacity. Results published in the literature have shown that f...

Non-conforming multipatches for NURBS-based finite element analysis of higher-order phase-field models for brittle fracture. Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 235, Article 107133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2020.107133

This paper proposes an effective computational tool for brittle crack propagation problems based on a combination of a higher-order phase-field model and a non-conforming mesh using a NURBS-based isogeometric approach. This combination, as demonstrat... Read More about Non-conforming multipatches for NURBS-based finite element analysis of higher-order phase-field models for brittle fracture.
