Effect of Mono Ethylene Glycol Solution on Mechanical Behavior of a Clay Soil
(ASTM International, 12 April 2019)This article presents the results of an investigation into the behavior of a clay soil contaminated with mono ethylene glycol (MEG) through a program of experimental tests. Soil specimens were prepared with water or different ... -
Developing a Finite Element Model to Investigate Second Metatarsal Stress During Running
(UK Association for Computational Mechanics (UKACM), 12 April 2019)Second metatarsal (2MT) stress fracture is a common and burdensome injury amongst runners, however understanding of the risk factors leading to injury is limited. Finite Element (FE) modelling represents a viable biorealistic ... -
Investigation on Masticatory Muscular Functionality Following Oral Reconstruction – An Inverse Identification Approach
(Elsevier, 10 April 2019)The human masticatory system has received significant attention in the areas of biomechanics due to its sophisticated co-activation of a group of masticatory muscles which contribute to the fundamental oral functions. ... -
Analysing greenhouse ventilation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
(UK Association for Computational Mechanics (UKACM), 11 April 2019)Greenhouses (GH) are used to shield the crops from excessive cold or heat. They are used for growing certain types of cultivations during the year round. The aim of this study is to design a greenhouse using solar-power ... -
An investigation of a Ɣ-type MTD Stirling engine prototype
(UK Association for Computational Mechanics (UKACM), 10 April 2019)Although thermal efficiency of moderate temperature differential (MTD) Stirling engines is higher than low temperature (LTD) engines, the complexity of design of MTD engines has led to the lack of research in this field. ...
