Multi-response modelling and optimisation of mechanical properties of Al-Si alloy using mixture design of experiment approach
(MDPI, 2022-11-01)
The research aims to produce, model, and optimise the mechanical properties of novel composite material through a structured multidisciplinary approach. The primary objective is to combine materials science, mechanical ...
Voltage-controlled topological interface states for bending waves in soft dielectric phononic crystal plates
(Elsevier, 2022-11-19)
The operating frequency range of passive topological phononic crystals is generally fixed and narrow, limiting their practical applications. To overcome this difficulty, here we design and investigate a one-dimensional ...
Non-destructive mapping of stress and strain in soft thin films through sound waves
(Nature Research, 2022-09-17)
Measuring the in-plane mechanical stress in a taut membrane is challenging, especially if its material parameters are unknown or altered by the stress. Yet being able to measure the stress is of fundamental interest to ...
Assessing ISO 18404 standard applicability in the service sector: a qualitative study
(Emerald, 2024-01-18)
This research aims to establish the applicability of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 18404 standard to the service sector, identify any required amendments and identify the critical success factors ...
An atlas of the heterogeneous viscoelastic brain with local power-law attenuation synthesised using Prony-series
(Elsevier, 2023-09-13)
This review addresses the acute need to acknowledge the mechanical heterogeneity of brain matter and to accurately calibrate its local viscoelastic material properties accordingly. Specifically, it is important to compile ...
Effects of viscosity and refractive index on the emission and diffusion properties of Alexa Fluor 405 using fluorescence correlation and lifetime spectroscopies
(Springer, 2021-03-19)
Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) studies of the interaction of polymers or proteins in solution are strongly affected by the viscosity and refractive index of the medium, and the effects are likely to be more ...
Singular travelling waves in soft viscoelastic solids of rate type
(Elsevier, 2023-09-25)
We consider shear wave propagation in soft viscoelastic solids of rate type. Based on objective stress rates, the constitutive model accounts for finite strain, incompressibility, as well as stress- and strain-rate ...
Programmable wrinkling for functionally-graded auxetic circular membranes
(Elsevier, 2023-07-13)
Materials with negative Poisson¿s ratio, also known as auxetic materials, display exotic properties such
as expansion in all directions under uni-axial tension. For their unique properties, these materials find
a broad ...
Stochastic modelling of pesticide transport to drinking water sources via runoff and resulting human health risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2024-02-09)
A modelling framework was developed to facilitate a probabilistic assessment of health risks posed by pesticide exposure via drinking water due to runoff, with the inclusion of influential site conditions and in-stream ...
Representing the stress and strain energy of elastic solids with initial stress and transverse texture anisotropy.
(The Royal Society, 2022-10-12)
Real-world solids, such as rocks, soft tissues and engineering materials, are often under some form of stress. Most real materials are also, to some degree, anisotropic due to their microstructure, a characteristic often ...
