The role of broken fibres on crack migration into 0° surface plies in adhesively bonded carbon fibre composite joints (2021)
Journal Article
Paul, A., Xu, X., Shimizu, T., & Wisnom, M. (2021). The role of broken fibres on crack migration into 0° surface plies in adhesively bonded carbon fibre composite joints. Composite Structures, 276, Article 114530. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2021.114530

Crack migration into the composite in adhesively bonded joints can cause a major degradation of strength. This usually occurs via cracks in the surface plies, but this paper demonstrates that crack migration can occur in joints even with 0° surface p...

Contactless robust 3D palm-print identification using photometric stereo (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, L. N., Langhof, M. P., Hansen, M. F., & Smith, M. L. (2021). Contactless robust 3D palm-print identification using photometric stereo. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2595439

Palmprints are of considerable interest as a reliable biometric, since they offer significant advantages, such as greater user acceptance than fingerprint or iris recognition. 2D systems can be spoofed by a photograph of a hand; however, 3D avoids th...

Auxetic metamaterial optimisation for head impact mitigation in American football (2021)
Journal Article
Hanna, B., Adams, R., Townsend, S., Robinson, M., Soe, S., Stewart, M., …Theobald, P. (2021). Auxetic metamaterial optimisation for head impact mitigation in American football. International Journal of Impact Engineering, 157, Article 103991. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijimpeng.2021.103991

American football has a comparatively high rate of sports-related concussions, despite mitigating strategies including the use of protective helmets. The traditional energy absorbing component, elastomeric foam pads, have limited scope for leveraging...

Patient reported psychosocial functioning following successful ptosis surgery (2021)
Journal Article
Richards, H., Jenkinson, E., White, P., & Harrad, R. (2021). Patient reported psychosocial functioning following successful ptosis surgery. Eye, 36, 1651–1655. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41433-021-01685-w

Background: Ptosis may result in increased anxiety, appearance-related distress and social avoidance, and impacts visual function. Previous work demonstrates the benefits of ptosis surgery for health-related quality of life, but there is a paucity of...

IEEE P7001: A proposed standard on transparency (2021)
Journal Article
Winfield, A. F. T., Booth, S., Dennis, L. A., Egawa, T., Hastie, H., Jacobs, N., …Watson, E. (2021). IEEE P7001: A proposed standard on transparency. Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 8, Article 665729. https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2021.665729

This paper describes IEEE P7001, a new draft standard on transparency of autonomous systems. In the paper, we outline the development and structure of the draft standard. We present the rationale for transparency as a measurable, testable property. W... Read More about IEEE P7001: A proposed standard on transparency.

Thermal control for electric vehicle based on the multistack fuel cells (2021)
Journal Article
Chetouane, M. A., Negrou, B., Becherif, M., Settou, N., Bouferrouk, A., & Ramadan, M. (2021). Thermal control for electric vehicle based on the multistack fuel cells. Energy Technology, 9(9), Article 2100242. https://doi.org/10.1002/ente.202100242

Pollution, global climate change, and the scarcity of fossil fuel reserves have forced the automotive industry to step up its research efforts on clean fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). In fact, these systems can be considered relatively pollution... Read More about Thermal control for electric vehicle based on the multistack fuel cells.
