Dissolution of delta phase in Ni-based superalloy during linear friction welding: integrated multiphysics computational process modelling
(Springer, 2021-06-15)
Linear friction welding (LFW) is an increasingly popular solid-state joining method for challenging applications such as integrated blade disk of aero-engines. However, the influence of friction-generated heat on the ...
An examination of maximum legal application rates of dairy processing and associated STRUBIAS fertilising products in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2021-10-09)
The dairy industry produces vast quantities of dairy processing sludge (DPS), which can be processed further to develop second generation products such as struvite, biochars and ashes (collectively known as STRUBIAS). These ...
Driven cast-in-situ pile capacity: insights from dynamic and static load testing
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-02-11)
Driven cast-in-situ (DCIS) piles are classified as large displacement piles. However, the use of an oversized driving
shoe introduces additional complexities influencing shaft resistance mobilisation, over and above those ...
Evaluation of the fertiliser replacement value of phosphorus-saturated filter media
(Elsevier, 2021-01-12)
The use of filter media to adsorb phosphorus (P) from nutrient-rich waters is an effective, simple and low-cost method to recover and reuse P as an inorganic fertiliser replacement. Although it is assumed that the saturated ...

Motivations, barriers and readiness factors for Quality 4.0 implementation: an exploratory study
(Emerald, 2021-01-22)
Purpose
Quality 4.0 is the new buzzword among quality professionals. There has been no empirical study of Quality 4.0 yet. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to investigate what are the motivations, barriers and readiness ...
Accounting for research induced environmental impacts using life cycle assessment
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-18)
Since the 1970's the number of scientific publications with sustainability as a keyword has increased from 1 in 1975 to 13,628 in 2019. Research, like all human endeavors, has impacts on the environment due to the activities ...
Conceptualizing Industry 4.0 readiness model dimensions: an exploratory sequential mixed-method study
(Emerald, 2021-07-16)
Purpose
Organizations use Industry 4.0 readiness models to evaluate their preparedness prior to the implementation of Industry 4.0. Though there are many studies on Industry 4.0 readiness models, the dimensions of readiness ...
Densified wood dowel reinforcement of timber perpendicular to the grain: a pilot study
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-06-07)
An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to utilise densified wood dowels as a reinforcement for timber subjected to compression loading perpendicular to the grain. While timber has a high strength-to-weight ...
