Journal Article
Goldsworthy, S., McNair, H., & Dogramadzi, S. (2019). Motion Capture Pillow (MCP): A novel method to improve comfort and accuracy in radiotherapy. Clinical Medicine, 19(Suppl2), s103. https://doi.org/10.7861/clinmedicine.19-2-s103

The delivery of radiotherapy has changed significantly over the last few decades. Recent advances in radiotherapy practice may increase patient discomfort. A key challenge to improve patient comfort is the common use of a thermoplastic mask for patien...

Digging the optimum pit: Antlions, spirals and spontaneous stratification (2019)
Journal Article
Franks, N. R., Worley, A., Falkenberg, M., Sendova-Franks, A. B., & Christensen, K. (2019). Digging the optimum pit: Antlions, spirals and spontaneous stratification. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 286(1899), 20190365. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2019.0365

Most animal traps are constructed from self-secreted silk, so antlions are rare among trap builders because they use only materials found in the environment. We show how antlions exploit the properties of the substrate to produce very effective struc... Read More about Digging the optimum pit: Antlions, spirals and spontaneous stratification.

Effective persuasion strategies for socially assistive robots (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Winkle, K., Lemaignan, S., Caleb-Solly, P., Turton, A., Leonards, U., & Bremner, P. (2019). Effective persuasion strategies for socially assistive robots. In Proceedings of the 2019 ACM/IEEE Human-Robot Interaction Conference (277-285). https://doi.org/10.1109/HRI.2019.8673313

In this paper we present the results of an experimental study investigating the application of human persuasive strategies to a social robot. We demonstrate that robot displays of goodwill and similarity to the participant significantly increased rob... Read More about Effective persuasion strategies for socially assistive robots.

Flow response to rapid morphing flap deflection (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abdessemed, C., Yao, Y., Bouferrouk, A., & Narayan, P. (2019, March). Flow response to rapid morphing flap deflection. Paper presented at 54th 3AF International Conference on Applied Aerodynamics, Paris - France

Flow response to rapid morphing flap deflection is investigated at a Reynolds number based on chord of 0.62×10^6 for a 2D NACA 0012 airfoil fitted with a morphing Trailing-edge flap (TEF) at a range of angles of attack and morphing frequencies. T... Read More about Flow response to rapid morphing flap deflection.

Assessment of stress-blended eddy simulation model for accurate prediction of three-straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine performance (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The performance of a three-straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine at low tip speed ratio has been evaluated by detached eddy simulation (DES) with stress-blended eddy simulation (SBES) turbulence model. Two grid topologies around the blades, i.e....
