Multidimensional imaging for skin tissue surface characterization (2013)
Journal Article

Human skin, the outer and largest organ covering our body, can be described in terms of both its 3D spatial topography and its 2D spectral reflectance. Such a characterization normally requires the application of separate procedures using different k... Read More about Multidimensional imaging for skin tissue surface characterization.

Subspace analysis to alleviate the volumetric locking in the 3D solid-shell EFG method (2013)
Journal Article

© 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. The main objective of this work is to reduce the volumetric locking pathology at the Element Free Galerkin (EFG) 3D solid-shell meshless method. For this purpose, a subspace analysis is performed in order to... Read More about Subspace analysis to alleviate the volumetric locking in the 3D solid-shell EFG method.

Performance comparison for aeroengine-type sump geometries (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Oil removal from aeroengine bearing chambers presents a challenge for aeroengine designers. Effective scavenging of oil is necessary to avoid excessive heat in the bearing chamber as this may lead to degradation of oil properties and deterioration in...
