A simplified approach to estimate seismic vulnerability and damage scenarios including site effects. Application to the historical centre of Horta, Azores, Portugal (2023)
Journal Article

The research attempts to provide a method for evaluating the susceptibility of heritage buildings and potential damage considering local site effects, using as a case study an urban sector situated in Horta, Faial, Azores, Portugal. The physical vuln... Read More about A simplified approach to estimate seismic vulnerability and damage scenarios including site effects.

Experimental and numerical study on shear behaviour of bolted inter‐modular connection (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the shear behaviour of bolted intermodular connections under lateral load using theoretical, experimental, and numerical approaches. Three design configurations with varying bolt sizes and hole tolera... Read More about Experimental and numerical study on shear behaviour of bolted inter‐modular connection.

Sea level rise and wave overtopping (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This presentation looks at the median and range of changes in coastal overtopping rates for coastal defences across the English coastline based on rises in sea levels of up to 1m. It considers the changes for both vertical walls and coastal embankme... Read More about Sea level rise and wave overtopping.

Investigation of the strain rate sensitivity of CoCrFeMnNiTix(x = 0, 0.3) high-entropy alloys using the shear punch test (2023)
Journal Article

High entropy alloys (HEAs) are a novel class of metallic materials that exhibit a unique blend of properties due to their chemical composition and atomic arrangement. This research aims to investigate the strain rate sensitivity (SRS) of two HEA CoCr...

Ring attractors as the basis of a biomimetic navigation system (2023)
Journal Article

The ability to navigate effectively in a rich and complex world is crucial for the survival of all animals. Specialist neural structures have evolved that are implicated in facilitating this ability, one such structure being the ring attractor networ...

A novel combined DTC method and SFOC system for three-phase induction machine drives with PWM switching method (2023)
Journal Article

In this paper, a novel combined Direct Torque Control (DTC) method and Stator-Flux Oriented Control (SFOC) system to increase general performances of Three-Phase Induction Motor (TPIM) drives is proposed. The introduced control scheme includes merits... Read More about A novel combined DTC method and SFOC system for three-phase induction machine drives with PWM switching method.

Implicit aspects of the psychosocial rehabilitation with a humanoid robot (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The paper presents an approach to understanding the emergent dynamics of human-robot interaction in the specific case of a humanoid robot taking the role of a co-therapist to the human therapist in psychosocial rehabilitation by focusing on the nonve...

Investigation into the customization of a transfemoral prosthetic socket to minimize discomfort for residual limb (RL) volume change (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It has been estimated that approximately 7000 people undergo limb amputation in the UK every year [1]. This issue is even more significant in the US, where over 150,000 people undergo lower limb extremity amputations, and this number is predicted to...

Predicting multiple-target search performance using eye movements and individual differences (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Accuracy in visual search – the process of detecting a target amongst distractors – is critical for life-saving career searches such as radiology and airport security. These searches often contain multiple targets (e.g., a tumour and a fracture) and... Read More about Predicting multiple-target search performance using eye movements and individual differences.
