Median frequency and sum of amplitude changes in rising slope: Two potential non-invasive indicators for differentiating DU from BOO in males
Presentation / Conference
Li, R., Gammie, A., Zhu, Q., & Nibouche, M. Median frequency and sum of amplitude changes in rising slope: Two potential non-invasive indicators for differentiating DU from BOO in males. Presented at International Continence Society annual meeting 2018

It remains a challenge to non-invasively differentiate detrusor underactivity (DU) from bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in males, and the gold standard is pressure flow studies, which is invasive, relatively expensive and may cause bleeding and infe...

Bearing failure of pseudo-ductile thin ply angle-ply laminates
Presentation / Conference
Wu, X., Fuller, J., Fotouhi, M., & Wisnom, M. Bearing failure of pseudo-ductile thin ply angle-ply laminates. Presented at 18 European Conference on Composite Materials -ECCM 18

The aim of this work is to investigate the bearing failure of mechanically fastened joints between thin-ply angle-ply laminates with central 0° plies. To achieve this, pseudo-ductile laminates with two different layups [±6/0]s2 and [±2/0]s4 were... Read More about Bearing failure of pseudo-ductile thin ply angle-ply laminates.

Reduced tensile notch-sensitivity in pseudo-ductile thin ply composites
Presentation / Conference
Wisnom, M., Czél, G., Fotouhi, M., Fuller, J., Jalalvand, M., Rev, T., & Wu, X. Reduced tensile notch-sensitivity in pseudo-ductile thin ply composites. Presented at 18 European Conference on Composite Materials -ECCM 18

Pseudo-ductile thin-ply composites loaded in tension exhibit a non-linear stress-strain response with a plateau, analogous to yielding in a metal. This provides an alternative means for load redistribution at stress concentrations, giving reduced not... Read More about Reduced tensile notch-sensitivity in pseudo-ductile thin ply composites.

Thin ply carbon/glass hybrid laminates to activate new damage mechanisms under indentation
Presentation / Conference
Fotouhi, M., Jalalvand, M., Prato, A., & Wisnom, M. Thin ply carbon/glass hybrid laminates to activate new damage mechanisms under indentation. Presented at 18 European Conference on Composite Materials -ECCM 18

Low velocity impacts on composite laminates can cause a significant amount of delamination that is often referred to as barely visible impact damage (BVID). This damage can cause significant degradation of structural properties, especially the compre...

Pathways to impact from outreach
Presentation / Conference
Fogg Rogers, L. Pathways to impact from outreach. Presented at Impact of outreach and CPD for STEM, Hull, UK
