An iterative numerical approach to evaluate the variable friction coefficient of steel AMS5643 using ring compression tests (2023)
Journal Article

The coefficient of friction is an important variable that must be defined to allow the accurate prediction of the forming geometry and stresses involved in metal forming processes. Literature reports have shown that the coefficient of friction does n...

Towards freezing global warming (2023)
Book Chapter

Numerous policies have been proposed to mitigate the problem of climate change as reducing emissions alone will not be sufficient. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which captures carbon at the source, and Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs), whic... Read More about Towards freezing global warming.

Viability of calcinated wastepaper sludge ash geopolymer in the treatment of road pavement subgrade materials (2023)
Journal Article

Problematic ground conditions constituted by weak or expansive clays are commonly encountered in construction projects and require some form of chemical treatment such as lime and cement to re-engineer their performance. However, in the light of the... Read More about Viability of calcinated wastepaper sludge ash geopolymer in the treatment of road pavement subgrade materials.

Numerical modelling of rainfall influence on the susceptibility of a slope to sliding under induced compression (2023)
Journal Article

This study examines the pore water pressure responses and stability of an unsaturated–saturated consolidating slope under the influence of rainfall infiltration. Analysis of slope behaviour was carried out with the results obtained for soils having s...

Mr Newport: The Story of Aubrey Hames (2023)
Book

Aubrey Hames was one of the most iconic figures in the Welsh town of Newport in the decades following the second world war. He was a man of his time – someone who had experienced first-hand the difficulties of poverty and the horrors of conflict – an... Read More about Mr Newport: The Story of Aubrey Hames.

Assessment of critical parameters affecting the behaviour of bearing reinforced concrete walls under fire exposure (2023)
Journal Article

Purpose: This research paper aims to investigate reinforced concrete (RC) walls' behaviour under fire and identify the thermal and mechanical factors that affect their performance. Design/methodology/approach: A three-dimensional (3D) finite element...

A phenomenological inquiry of building and living in European Earthship homes (2023)
Journal Article

Earthships remain a relatively under explored type of sustainable/alternative home. This is the first study to investigate the personal experiences of constructing and living in European Earthship-homes. The aim of this study is to reveal insights in...

A methodology for renovation of micro-hydropower plants: A case study using a turgo turbine in Nepal (2023)
Journal Article

For off-grid communities, micro-hydropower continues to provide affordable and reliable electricity access across the world. In Nepal, despite ongoing development of large-scale hydropower projects and the extension of the national grid, there remain...

Data-driven approach for upper limb fatigue estimation based on wearable sensors (2023)
Journal Article

Muscle fatigue is defined as a reduced ability to maintain maximal strength during voluntary contraction. It is associated with musculoskeletal disorders that affect workers performing repetitive activities, affecting their performance and well-being...
