Investigating the fatigue behaviour of quasi-isotropic pseudo-ductile thin-ply carbon/glass epoxy hybrid composites (2022)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the fatigue behaviour of pseudo-ductile Quasi-Isotropic (QI) interlayer hybrids with un-notched and open-hole configurations. Two different types of QI pseudo-ductile hybrids were evaluated; HighC, with carbon to glass thickne...

Structural and spatial minimal requirement efficacy of emergency shelters for different emergencies (2022)
Journal Article

Natural and human-induced disasters have become more frequent in recent years, and this has increased the need for effective, high-quality, quick, easy-to-assemble, and affordable emergency housing solutions. The purpose of this study is to create a... Read More about Structural and spatial minimal requirement efficacy of emergency shelters for different emergencies.

Evaluating different soil amendments as bioremediation strategy for wetland soil contaminated by crude oil (2022)
Journal Article

This study evaluated the efficacy of using Tween 80 surfactant (TW80) and food-waste anaerobic digestate fibre (FWAD) as soil amendments for the remediation of wetlands contaminated by crude oil. A 112-day mesocosms experiment was carried out to simu... Read More about Evaluating different soil amendments as bioremediation strategy for wetland soil contaminated by crude oil.

Computational and experimental investigation of the strain rate sensitivity of small punch testing of the high-entropy alloy CoCrFeMnNi (2022)
Journal Article

The suitability of determining the strain rate sensitivity (SRS) of the CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) by small punch (SP) testing has been assessed at displacement rates ranging from 0.2 to 2 mm∙min−1. The stress was found to increase as the di... Read More about Computational and experimental investigation of the strain rate sensitivity of small punch testing of the high-entropy alloy CoCrFeMnNi.

Integration of origami and deployable concept in volumetric modular units (2022)
Journal Article

Modular building systems (MBS) and Origami are two emerging methods used in current construction practice. Origami is directly associated with the principles of the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, characterised by high morphological possibilit...

Numerical investigation on fire performance of LSF and steel modular floor panels (2022)
Journal Article

The steel Modular Building Systems (MBSs) that have been influenced by the Light-gauge Steel Frame (LSF) techniques have become a prominent culture in the industry. However, the detrimental behaviour of steel structural components at high temperature... Read More about Numerical investigation on fire performance of LSF and steel modular floor panels.

Usability of an immersive control system for a humanoid robot surrogate (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Social isolation is an issue that effects many people, especially those from ethic minorities, LGBTQIA+ communities, the elderly, those in long-term healthcare, and those living with life-limiting illnesses. It has become increasingly evident during... Read More about Usability of an immersive control system for a humanoid robot surrogate.

An investigation into the role of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in minimising design changes (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Conceptually, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been in existence for decades. However, BIM has only recently gained widespread application in the construction industry. There are mandates in place for BIM use in many countries. With this incr... Read More about An investigation into the role of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in minimising design changes.

Development and control of an upper limb rehabilitation robot via ant colony optimization -PID and Fuzzy-PID controllers (2022)
Journal Article

The control of movement rehabilitation robots is necessary for the recovery of physically disabled patients and is an interesting open problem. This paper presents a mathematical model of the upper limb rehabilitation robot using Euler-Lagrange appro...

Understanding pedestrian red light violation: Exploration of the impact of traffic engineering and traffic conditions (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The design of the geometry and traffic controls at signalised junctions is often focused on the level of service offered to drivers and rarely takes into consideration the level of service offered to pedestrians. This results in pedestrian adopting i... Read More about Understanding pedestrian red light violation: Exploration of the impact of traffic engineering and traffic conditions.
