Bio-inspired design to support reduced energy consumption via the ‘light weighting’ of machine system elements (2015)
Journal Article

A potential technique to reduce the energy required to actuate moving parts in a machine is to reduce their mass. This paper presents initial research attempting to answer this question for robotic arm application using a biologically inspired approa...

Numerical optimisation of thermal comfort improvement for indoor environment with occupants and furniture (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Indoor thermal environment of a 3-D ventilated room was studied by computational fluid dynamics to understand correlations between heat generation, ventilation velocity and thermal sensation indices. The exis... Read More about Numerical optimisation of thermal comfort improvement for indoor environment with occupants and furniture.

Prediction of delamination growth in laminated composites using acoustic emission and Cohesive Zone Modeling techniques (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Mode I delamination is the most common failure mode in laminated composite materials. Determination of the crack growth has a vital role in the damage tolerance analyses of the structures which suffer from this type of damage. Th...
