Modelling the remediation of diesel contaminated soil using palm bunch ash (2017)
Journal Article

The adoption of petroleum and its derivative such as diesel in all transport forms hasamplified its pollution dangers to the soil. This research is aimed at modelling the remediation of diesel contaminated soil by palm bunch ash. A plot of land measu...

Multivariate extreme value modelling of sea conditions around the coast of England (2017)
Journal Article

It is widely recognised that coastal flood events can arise from combinations of extreme waves and sea levels. For flood risk analysis and the design of coastal structures it is therefore necessary to assess the joint probability of the occurrence of...

Time-dependent creep analysis for life assessment of cylindrical vessels using first order shear deformation theory (2017)
Journal Article

In the present study, assuming that the thermo-elastic creep response of the material is governed by Norton's law, an analytical solution has been developed for the purpose of time-dependent creep response for isotropic thick-walled cylindrical press...

Identification of infrastructure related risk factors. Deliverable 5.1 of the H2020 project SafetyCube (2017)
Report

This deliverable reports on the work in Task 5.1. This addresses one of the main objectives of WP5 by contributing towards the creation of an inventory of estimates of risk factors and safety effects for road infrastructure. The current report focuse... Read More about Identification of infrastructure related risk factors. Deliverable 5.1 of the H2020 project SafetyCube.

A modification to the cross slitting method for measuring two components of residual stresses (2017)
Journal Article

Residual stresses measurement techniques are constantly modified and progressed. There have been many residual stresses measurement methods developed and practiced by researchers. Slitting method is one of the destructive techniques that can measure... Read More about A modification to the cross slitting method for measuring two components of residual stresses.

Detecting deviation from normal driving using SHRP2 NDS data (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Normal driving is naturally the first stage of the crash development sequence. Investigating normal driving can be proved useful for comparisons with safety critical scenarios and also crash prevention. The better we understand it, the more effecti...

Humanoid robot avatars: An 'in the wild' usability study (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, we report a breaching study to explore the use of a tele-operated humanoid avatar from both the perspective of the robot operator and the perspective of interlocutors. Humanoid robot avatars provide capabilities that video conferencing... Read More about Humanoid robot avatars: An 'in the wild' usability study.

Spatial analysis and simulation of extreme coastal flooding scenarios for national-scale emergency planning (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The UK has a long history of coastal flooding, driven by large-scale low-pressure weather systems which can result in flooding over large spatial areas. Traditional coastal flood risk analysis is, however, often undertaken at local scales and hence d...

National scale multivariate extreme value modelling of waves, winds and sea levels (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It has long been recognised that extreme coastal flooding can arise from the joint occurrence of extreme waves, winds and sea levels. The standard simplified joint probability approach used in England and Wales can result in an underestimation of flo...

Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The section of railway which runs along the coastline of south Devon in United Kingdom, from Exeter to Newton Abbot, is one of the most photographed sections of railway in the world. It was opened in 1846 with embankments and seawalls protecting and... Read More about Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change.
