Effect of surface roughness on brinell hardness and load-displacement curves using a macro indentation (2023)
Journal Article

Surface roughness significantly affects the scattering of load-displacement curves and the measurement of mechanical properties by the macro-scale indentation. Many mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity, yield stress, strain hardening e...

Towards the European Commission's road safety goal of 'Vision Zero': Intended routes of the SOTERIA journey (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The emergence of complex urban mobility environments, where unknown interactions between different types of vulnerable road users (VRUs) and between VRUs and motorised vehicles, poses the need for a clear understanding of user behaviours, fair and op...

Bioengineering remediation of former industrial sites contaminated with chemical mixtures (2023)
Journal Article

Former gasworks sites are known to be contaminated with complex chemical mixtures that require remediation before redevelopment. Bioamendments such as biochar and spent mushroom compost (SMC) offer a green and sustainable remediation approach to help...

Examining parking choices of connected and autonomous vehicles (2023)
Journal Article

Raising parking charges is a measure that restricts the use of private vehicles. With the introduction of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), the demand for parking has the potential to reduce as CAVs may not park at ‘pay to park’ areas as they...

Smart hybrid composite sensor technology to enhance the detection of low energy impact damage in composite structures (2023)
Journal Article

This paper introduces novel structural health monitoring (SHM) sensors to improve the detection of low energy impact damage in laminated composites. The sensor is a purposely designed thin-ply hybrid composite, composed of a layer of unidirectional S...

Analysis of task complexity factors. Deliverable 6.1 of the EC H2020 project i-DREAMS (2023)
Report

The main goal of the i-DREAMS project was to establish a framework that enables the definition, development, testing and validation of a context-aware safety envelope for driving called the ‘Safety Tolerance Zone’ (STZ). This could be accomplished th... Read More about Analysis of task complexity factors. Deliverable 6.1 of the EC H2020 project i-DREAMS.

Structural design and aeromechanical analysis of unconventional blades for future mars rotorcraft (2023)
Journal Article

The structural design of rotor blades with ultra-thin, unconventional airfoils is conducted in support of the NASA Rotor Optimization for the Advancement of Mars eXploration (ROAMX) project. The outer mold line was provided by NASA, and the internal... Read More about Structural design and aeromechanical analysis of unconventional blades for future mars rotorcraft.

Vacuum and hover tests of a dihedral–anhedral tip composite rotor (2023)
Journal Article

This paper presents test data from vacuum and hover tests of a 2.8-ft-radius dihedral–anhedral tip composite rotor. The paper describes the blades, their fabrication, properties, instrumentation, the test conditions, and the data acquired. The blades...

Numerical investigation of the influence of acceleration and deceleration on the aerodynamic characteristics of an oscillating wing aerofoil operating at transonic and hypersonic speeds (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The aerodynamic characteristics of a hypersonic aircraft are strongly influenced by the accelerating and decelerating motions of the body. This impact can be more complicated when the oscillatory motion of the body in a complex non-linear mode is inv...
