Sensing solutions in soil biodiversity and carbon monitoring; from acoustics to biosensing
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This presentation formed an overview of the current research into the technologies we are developing in SOAS at UWE for the analysis of soil carbon dynamics and soil biodiversity. It highlights three main strands; electrochemical (bio)sensing, gas s... Read More about Sensing solutions in soil biodiversity and carbon monitoring; from acoustics to biosensing.

Integrating students as academic partners in software engineering: A group software development case study
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Exploring the role of a Student as an Academic Partner (SAP) in software engineering education, this study investigates the interactions between students and faculty and evaluates the perceptions of students on SAP's integration within a Group Softwa...

Assuring correctness, testing, and verification of x-compiler by integrating communicating stream x-machine
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Compiler design plays an important role in ensuring that the translation of the programs written in high-level language into executable code is correct. However, in todays’ safety-critical environments, security gaps, visible and hidden defects in co...

The contribution of CSR activity to perceptions of a place brand - The case of Bristol
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Socio-economic cohesion might otherwise be described as the integration of ‘social and environmental topics’ into ‘business activities’, which Öberseder et al (2014) describe as corporatesocial responsibility (CSR). Previous studies have investigated... Read More about The contribution of CSR activity to perceptions of a place brand - The case of Bristol.

Accurate measurement of highly triaxial residual stresses
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Accurate measurement of residual stress is essential if account is to be taken of residual stress in structural integrity assessments. For thick components many non-destructive residual stress measurement techniques cannot be used since they are unab... Read More about Accurate measurement of highly triaxial residual stresses.

A numerical and experimental investigation into the generation of residual stress in fracture specimens using local compression
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The influence of residual stresses on the fracture behaviour of materials is of fundamental importance for accurate and reliable structural integrity assessments of components and structures In this paper residual stress fields are introduced into st...

Comparison between residual stress induced by waterjet peening and shot peening
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Surface modification techniques have received much attention among the researchers around the world. Yet, finding the best way to enhance the surface properties remains one of the challenges in engineering. Most of the fatigue cracks begins from the...

Combined effect of residual stress and loading history on brittle fracture
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The aim of this paper is to examine the influence of residual stress (RS) and loading history on the subsequent low-temperature cleavage fracture resistance of ferritic steel structures such as pressure vessels. Three dimensional finite element analy... Read More about Combined effect of residual stress and loading history on brittle fracture.

Measurement and prediction of residual stress generated by local compression
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In order to assess the effect of a residual stress field on the fracture behaviour of materials, a well-defined residual stress field, with known characteristics, such as triaxiality, must be generated in a controllable and reproducible manner. In th... Read More about Measurement and prediction of residual stress generated by local compression.

Influence of residual stress on the fracture behaviour of an aluminium alloy
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Influence of residual stresses on fracture response of an Aluminum alloy is investigated. Cylindrical flat ended punching tools are employed to introduce residual stresses on 15mm thick C (T) specimens. The residual stress field resulting from Local...
