Dielectric characterization of diseased human trabecular bones at microwave frequency
(Elsevier, 2020-02-07)The objective of this study is to determine whether in vitro dielectric properties of human trabecular bones, can distinguish between osteoporotic and osteoarthritis patients' bone samples. Specifically this study enlightens ... -
Influence of microstructural defects and hydrostatic pressure on water absorption in composite materials for tidal energy
(SAGE Publications, 2018-01-06)The lifespan and economic viability of tidal energy devices are constrained, in part, by the complex degradation of the tidal turbine blade materials due to prolonged immersion in a hostile sub-sea environment. Seawater ... -
Rotational moulding of PEEK polymer liners with carbon fibre/PEEK over tape-placement for space cryogenic fuel tanks
(Elsevier, 2017-07-15)PEEK polymers are investigated as replacement materials for metallic liners in composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) for fuel tank applications in space. A novel, integrally heated, rotational moulding tool has ... -
Thermomechanical modelling for the linear friction welding process of Ni-based superalloy and verification
(SAGE Publications, 2020-01-22)This paper presents a fully coupled thermomechanical model for the linear friction welding process of Inconel-718 nickel-based superalloy by using the finite element method. Friction heat, plastic work, and contact formulation ...
