The effect of shot peening on fatigue life of welded tubular joint in offshore structure (2011)
Journal Article

An offshore structure is exposed to environmental loading and cyclic stress variations throughout its life. This would result in the possibility of fatigue cracking in its members. Cracks in these structures usually initiate around welded areas, then... Read More about The effect of shot peening on fatigue life of welded tubular joint in offshore structure.

Using formal methods to model hybrid manufacturing processes (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The on-going industrial trend towards high value sustainable manufacturing has led to the emergence of hybrid manufacturing processes and resources. This new generation of processes and resources combine the capabilities of a number of older technolo... Read More about Using formal methods to model hybrid manufacturing processes.

The effect of plasticity on the ability of the deep hole drilling technique to measure axisymmetric residual stress (2011)
Journal Article

Mechanical strain relief covers a class of techniques for measuring residual stress in engineering components. These techniques work by measuring strains or displacements when part of the component is machined away. The assumption is that such strain...

Multi-objective optimisation of cell-array circuit evolution (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we have investigated the efficacy of applying multi-objective optimisation to Cartesian genetic programming (CGP) when used for evolution of cell-array configurations. A cell-array is a proposed type of custom FPGA, where digital circui... Read More about Multi-objective optimisation of cell-array circuit evolution.

An application of chaboche model to predict uniaxial and multiaxial ratcheting (2011)
Journal Article

Chaboche model can be used to predict the ratcheting phenomenon. The parameter determination of this model to achieve an accurate ratcheting prediction is of great importance. Therefore, the application of an optimization procedure can improve the pr... Read More about An application of chaboche model to predict uniaxial and multiaxial ratcheting.

A neural networks approach to characterize material properties using the spherical indentation test (2011)
Journal Article

Determination of material characteristics using the instrumented indentation test has gained interests among many researchers. The output of a spherical indentation test is usually the load-penetration (P-h) curve. To achieve this goal, the elastic d...

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell voltage-tracking using artificial neural networks (2011)
Journal Article

Transients in load and consequently in stack current have a significant impact on the performance and durability of fuel cells. The delays in auxiliary equipments in fuel cell systems (such as pumps and heaters) and back pressures degrade system perf...

J-integral and CMOD for external inclined cracks on autofrettaged cylinders (2011)
Journal Article

Autofrettage is a well-known method to increase the load carrying capacity of the pressure vessels. The autofrettage outcomes can be contrary when the imperfections or material discontinuities are on the outer surface. In this study, the influences o...
