A combined XFEM and cohesive zone model for composite laminate microcracking and permeability
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-10-07)A novel computational methodology for predicting three-dimensional microcracking and permeability in composite laminates is presented, The methodology simulates microcrack initiation and propagation using the extended ... -
Comparing coronary stent material performance on a common geometric platform through simulated bench testing
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2012-03-02)Absorbable metallic stents (AMSs) are a newly emerging cardiovascular technology which has the potential to eliminate long-term patient health risks associated with conventional permanent stents. AMSs developed to date ... -
Comparing how entrepreneurs and managers represent the elements of the business model canvas
(Elsevier, 2018-03-03)This paper uses self-efficacy to compare how entrepreneurs and managers represent the nine elements of the business model canvas (BMC; Osterwalder, 2004). A six-item efficacy scale was developed to measure each element. ... -
Comparison of a stratified and a single-layer laboratory sand filter to treat dairy soiled water from a farm-scale woodchip filter
(Springer, 2014-04)Washing-down parlours and standing areas, following milking on dairy farms, produces dairy soiled water (DSW) that contains variable concentrations of nutrients. Aerobic woodchip filters can remove organic matter, nutrients ... -
A Comparison of Petri Net and System Dynamics Approaches for Modelling Dynamic Feedback Systems
(2006)Petri nets are a valuable tool that can be used to simulate workflow systems. They are based on a state-transition approach, and in common with discrete event simulation, events can be scheduled to fire at different time ... -
Comparison of radar-based microwave imaging algorithms applied to experimental breast phantoms
(Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale, 2017-08-19)Microwave imaging is a promising imaging modality for the early detection of breast cancer. The two most important signal processing components of a radar-based microwave imaging system are the early-time artifact removal ... -
A comparison of student outcomes from an internet-based inventory simulation
(Western Decision Sciences Institute, 1999-04-06)The increasing globalization and global integration of national economies suggests the necessity of developing pedagogy that infuses global content throughout the business school curriculum. Business school graduates need ... -
Computational investigation of in situ chondrocyte deformation and actin cytoskeleton remodelling under physiological loading
(Elsevier, 2012-12-24)Previous experimental studies have determined local strain fields for both healthy and degenerate cartilage tissue during mechanical loading. However, the biomechanical response of chondrocytes in situ, in particular the ... -
Computational modelling of ovine critical-sized tibial defects with implanted scaffolds and prediction of the safety of fixator removal
(Elsevier, 2015-01-14)Computational model geometries of tibial defects with two types of implanted tissue engineering scaffolds, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL)/β-TCP, are constructed from µ-CT scan images of the ... -
Computational simulation of the relaxation of local stresses due to foreign object damage under cyclic loading
(2010)In this study, the phenomenon of residual stress relaxation from foreign object damage (FOD) is numerically simulated using a hybrid explicit¿implicit finite-element method. The effects of cycle fatigue loadings on stress ... -
Computational study on the effect of contact geometry on fretting behaviour
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2011-07-23)A key challenge in the design of engineering couplings and contacting components relates to the development of an understanding of the comparative performance of contrasting contact geometries for a given application, ... -
Connectivity solutions to link a bluetooth camera to the internet
(IEEE, 2001)Digital photography is gaining day by day more and more credibility over conventional photography due to a number of factors easy to guess. Bluetooth connectivity in the digital camera provides cordless communication with ... -
Consequences of varied soil hydraulic and meteorological complexity on unsaturated zone time lag estimates.
(Elsevier, 2014-10-13)The true efficacy of a programme of agricultural mitigation measures within a catchment to improve water quality can be determined only after a certain hydrologic time lag period (subsequent to implementation) has elapsed. ... -
Constructed wetlands for the treatment of highway runoff.
(Nova Publishers, 2008-06-01)Highway surface runoff contains pollutants such as total suspended solids (TSS), hydrocarbons, de-icing salts, and heavy metals. Treatment methods for highway runoff include storage/treatment facilities, such as constructed ... -
Cooperative contractility: the role of stress fibres in the regulation of cell-cell junctions
(Elsevier, 2014-11-27)We present simulations of cell-cell adhesion as reported in a recent study [Liu et al., 2010, PNAS, 107(22), 9944-9] for two cells seeded on an array of micro-posts. The micro-post array allows for the measurement of forces ... -
A crash course on patents for engineers
(IEEE, 2013-01-12)Most engineers are aware of the existence of patents. Indeed the preparation of patent disclosures is an important aspect of most research engineering job functions. Yet for many engineers the world of patents remains ... -
