Influence Of Molecular Weight On The Surface Morphology Of Aligned, Branched Side-chain Polyfluorene (2005)
Journal Article

The surface structure of uniaxially aligned poly(9,9-bis(ethylhexyl)-fluorene-2,7-diyl) films on rubbed polyimide has been studied as a function of molecular weight (Mn = 3-150 kg mol-1, number-average molecular weight) using polarized microscopy, at...

A meshless local Petrov-Galerkin scaled boundary method (2005)
Journal Article

The scaled boundary finite-element method is a new semi-analytical approach to computational mechanics developed by Wolf and Song. The method weakens the governing differential equations by introducing shape functions along the circumferential coordi... Read More about A meshless local Petrov-Galerkin scaled boundary method.

Development of a simple information pump (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The Information Pump (IP) is a methodology that aims to counter the problems arising from traditional subjective product data collection. The IP is a game theory based process that aims to maximise information extracted from a panel of subjects, whil... Read More about Development of a simple information pump.

Machine learning stochastic design models (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Due to the fluid nature of the early stages of the design process, it is difficult to obtain deterministic product design evaluations. This is primarily due to the flexibility of the design at this stage, namely that there can be multiple interpretat... Read More about Machine learning stochastic design models.

Simple plasticity-based prediction of the undrained settlement of shallow circular foundations on clay (2005)
Journal Article

A kinematic plastic solution has been developed for the penetration of a circular footing into an incompressible soil bed. In this solution, the pattern of deformation around the footing is idealised by a simple plastic deformation mechanism. Strain-...

On preconditioning strategies for geotechnics (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Iterative solvers are of increasing interest in geomechanics with the move towards 3D finite element modelling. Potentially, these methods can lead to reduced computational complexity as, unlike direct methods, they do not require the full system mat...

Equivalent circuit for the brushless doubly fed machine (BDFM) including parameter estimation and experimental verification (2005)
Journal Article

Experimental results from a frame size 180 brushless doubly fed (induction) machine (BDFM) fitted with four rotor designs are presented. The machine is intended for use as a variable speed generator, or drive. A per phase equivalent circuit for the m...

On the effects of nodal distributions for imposition of essential boundary conditions in the MLPG meshfree method (2005)
Journal Article

Imposition of essential boundary conditions in meshfree methods is made difficult because the shape functions used do not possess the delta property. Various procedures have been proposed including penalty, Lagrange multipliers and collocation. It is...

The benefits of turbine endwall profiling in a cascade (2005)
Journal Article

Non-axisymmetric profiled endwalls have been shown to reduce losses and secondary flow both in cascades and in rig tests. This paper presents experimental results which quantify the benefits of loss reduction in the cascade with particular attention...
