Failure behavior of composite laminates under four-point bending (2016)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2015. In this study, failure behavior of fiber-reinforced composites under four-point bending is investigated. First, the tests are modeled analytically using the classical lamination theory (CLT). The maximum allowable moment resulta...

Royal Society scientists in schools (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Scientists are increasingly being urged to participate in education outreach programmes as part of the public engagement agenda, to connect society with science and improve attitudes to STEM subjects. Although often taking place in a formal education... Read More about Royal Society scientists in schools.

Science learning through play (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Play is frequently associated with ‘just having fun’, giving it a bad reputation amongst learning practitioners. However, neuroscience and psychological research indicates that play is essential for human development and wellbeing. We argue that play... Read More about Science learning through play.

Pee power urinal-microbial fuel cell technology field trials in the context of sanitation (2016)
Journal Article

This paper reports on the pee power urinal field trials, which are using microbial fuel cells for internal lighting. The first trial was conducted on Frenchay Campus (UWE, Bristol) from February-May 2015 and demonstrated the feasibility of modular MF...

Large-eddy simulation of shock-induced flow separation control using SparkJet concept (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) of shock-wave/boundary layer interactions (SWBLI) with SparkJet control technique is carried out in this paper. The base flow is an oblique shock-wave generated by an 8°wedge impinging onto a spatially-developing Mach 2.3...

Numerical investigation on two streamline-traced busemann inlet-isolators (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of flow characteristics within three-dimensional Busemann inlet with isolator models. The primary aim of the study was to compare various performances between two streamline-traced inlets... Read More about Numerical investigation on two streamline-traced busemann inlet-isolators.

Multistep simulation for three-dimensional ice accretion on an aircraft wing (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A simplified icing model combined with Eulerian two-phase flow theory has been proposed and the method was employed for direct simulation of ice accretion occurred on an aircraft wing. An innovative wall boundary condition treatment has been proposed... Read More about Multistep simulation for three-dimensional ice accretion on an aircraft wing.

The effect of social information on the collective choices of ant colonies (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Author. In collective decision making, groups collate social information to inform their decisions. Indeed, societies can gather more information than individuals - so social information can be more reliable than private information. Colon...

Exploration adjustment by ant colonies (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Authors. How do animals in groups organize their work? Division of labour, i.e. the process by which individuals within a group choose which tasks to perform, has been extensively studied in social insects. Variability among individuals wi...

Migration control: A distance compensation strategy in ants (2016)
Journal Article

©The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com. Migratory behaviour forms an intrinsic part of the life histories of many organisms but is often a high-risk process. Consequently, varied strategies have evolved to...
