Modelling the effects of climate change on urban coastal-fluvial flooding
(IWA Publishing, 2020-01-23)In coastal floodplains, high river flows and high coastal water levels can result in extensive flooding. Twenty-first century climate change is expected to alter these flood mechanisms. In this study, a coastal city of ... -
Modelling the hygro-mechanical creep behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)A fully coupled moisture-displacement finite element model has been developed to predict the viscoelastic, mechano-sorptive and swelling/shrinkage behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements when stressed under long-term ... -
Modelling the sensing radius of a coaxial probe for dielectric characterisation of biological tissues
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-08-22)The open-ended coaxial probe is the most common measurement tool used to dielectrically characterize biological tissues. Most healthy and malignant biological tissues are macroscopically heterogeneous, with the exception ... -
Models of flow-induced loading on blood cells in laminar and turbulent flow, with application to cardiovascular device flow
(Springer, 2007-08)Viscous shear stress and Reynolds stress are often used to predict hemolysis and thrombosis due to flow-induced stress on blood elements in cardiovascular devices. These macroscopic stresses are distinct from the true ... -
Modified wood as compression reinforcement of timber perpendicular to the grain
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2021-08-09)An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to utilise modified wood as a reinforcement for timber subjected to compression loading perpendicular to the grain. In recent years there has been a significant ... -
ModSCO. Online Reduced Order Models (ROM) to address the performance gap
(MDPI, 2019-07-25)This communication presents ModSCO, a web application that supports systematic energy performance evaluation using Reduced Order Models (ROM). These models are particularly useful in scenario with missing, incomplete or ... -
Modulus of elasticity prediction through transversal vibration in cantilever beams and ultrasound technique of different wood species
(Elsevier, 2023-02-21)The prediction of the modulus of elasticity (MOE) of five species of different spectrum density woods, namely, Populus × euramericana I-214 (Poplar), Fagus sylvatica L. (Beech), Quercus pyrenaica L. (Oak), Paulownia elongata ... -
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 ... -
A multi-axial cyclic viscoplasticity model for high temperature fatigue of P91 steel
(Maney Online, 2014)This paper presents a novel multiaxial, cyclic viscoplasticity material model for high temperature low cycle fatigue of P91 power plant steel. The model incorporates mechanisms-based variable strain-rate sensitivity and ... -
Multi-Class and Single-Class Classification Approaches to Vehicle Model Recognition from Images
(2005)This paper investigates the use of machine learning classification techniques applied to the task of recognising the make and model of vehicles. Although a number of vehicle classification systems already exist, most of ... -
Multi-nodal short-term energy forecasting using smart meter data
(Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2018-06-10)This paper deals with the short-term forecasting of electrical energy demands at the local level, incorporating advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), or ‘smart meter’ data. It provides a study of the effects of aggregation ... -
Multi-objective multi-agent decision making: a utility-based analysis and survey
(Springer Verlag, 2019-12-09)The majority of multi-agent system implementations aim to optimise agents policies with respect to a single objective, despite the fact that many real-world problem domains are inherently multi-objective in nature. ... -
A multi-scale crystal plasticity model for cyclic plasticity and low-cycle fatigue in a precipitate-strengthened steel at elevated temperature
(Elsevier, 2016-12-24)In this paper, a multi-scale crystal plasticity model is presented for cyclic plasticity and low-cycle fatigue in a tempered martensite ferritic steel at elevated temperature. The model explicitly represents the geometry ... -
A Multiaxial Fatigue Damage Model for Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites
(Elsevier (Scienc Direct), 2013)A multiaxial fatigue damage model for fibre reinforced polymercomposite materials is presented. The model combines (i) fatigue-induced fibre strength and modulus degradation, (ii) irrecoverable cyclic strain effects and ... -
Multiphase numerical modelling of hydraulic structures with rapidly rotating flows: Stormwater vortex hydrodynamic separator
(Conferences and Events at DigitalCommons@USU, 2018-05-15)Hydraulic structures exhibiting strongly rotating flows are widely applied in the field of urban and wastewater hydraulics. Given demographic, urban development and climate change challenge, such infrastructure will require ... -
Multiscale fluid-structure interaction modelling to determine the mechanical stimulation of bone cells in a tissue engineered scaffold
(2015-04)Recent studies have shown that mechanical stimulation, by means of flow perfusion and mechanical compression (or stretching), enhances osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and bone cells within biomaterial ... -
A multistage selective weighting method for improved microwave breast tomography
(Elsevier, 2016-08-24)Microwave tomography has shown potential to successfully reconstruct the dielectric properties of the human breast, thereby providing an alternative to other imaging modalities used in breast imaging applications. Considering ... -
National Centre for Water and Wastewater Research and Demonstration
(EPA: STRIVE Report 78, 2010)Decentralised wastewater treatment systems for small towns (200 2,000 PE) often have different design requirements to those of systems for larger conurbations even though the treatment process technologies may be similar. ... -
The nature of stable char radicals: An ESR and DFT study of structural and hydrogen bonding requirements
(Wiley, 2018-06-28)Pyrolysis is a promising way to convert biomass into fuels and chemicals. This reaction is complex and inevitably involves a cascade of radical reactions that lead to char formation, in which some radicals become trapped ...
