Investigating pitching moment stall through dynamic wind tunnel test (2019)
Journal Article

Experimental characterisation of aircraft dynamic stall can be a challenging and complex system identification activity. In this article, the authors present a method that combines dynamic wind tunnel testing with parameter estimation techniques to s...

Evolution of joint probability methods in coastal engineering practice in the UK (2019)
Journal Article

This paper outlines the evolution of joint probability methods in the design and assessment of sea defence structures in the UK, together with the key drivers for these different methods. It highlights why and how the joint exceedance curve technique... Read More about Evolution of joint probability methods in coastal engineering practice in the UK.

An approach for Knoop and Vickers indentations to measure equi-biaxial residual stresses and material properties: A comprehensive comparison (2019)
Journal Article

A residual stress analysis is indispensable to anticipate engineering structure loading conditions. For this purpose, there are various methods, including indentation technique, a non-destructive test, which also enables us to measure material proper...

Analysis of low-speed height-velocity diagram of a variable-speed-rotor helicopter in one-engine-failure (2019)
Journal Article

This work analyzes the effects of variable operating rotor speed on the helicopter low-speed Height–Velocity (H-V) diagram in one engine inoperative (OEI) situation. Using the UH-60A helicopter as baseline helicopter, a flight dynamics model and the...

What came before the crash? An investigation through SHRP2 NDS data (2019)
Journal Article

Investigating crash progression through naturalistic driving studies (NDS) could give valuable insights in crash causation analysis and thus, benefit crash prevention. This study utilises NDS data from the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP2... Read More about What came before the crash? An investigation through SHRP2 NDS data.

Shot peening effects on residual stresses redistribution of offshore wind monopile multi-pass weldments (2019)
Journal Article

In some industrial applications, welding is the only alternative to join different parts. However, the major problem in welded structures is the tensile residual stresses that are inevitably produced during welding process. Surface tensile stresses c...
