Suppression of flow separation of a high-lift wing with active flow control (2025)
Journal Article
Sun, Q., Bahri, F., Jabbal, M., Stryczniewicz, W., Jefferson-Loveday, R., Stefes, B., & Büscher, A. (2025). Suppression of flow separation of a high-lift wing with active flow control. Aerospace Science and Technology, 159, Article 110017. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ast.2025.110017

Flow separation caused by the integration of a leading edge slat cut-out to accommodate an ultra-high bypass ratio engine reduces the maximum lift coefficient. In this study, an active flow control approach including 88 pulsed jet nozzles near the le... Read More about Suppression of flow separation of a high-lift wing with active flow control.

Technical, economic and lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions analyses of solid sorbent direct air capture technologies (2025)
Journal Article
Lilonfe, S., Rodgers, S., Abdul-Manan, A. F., Dimitriou, I., & McKechnie, J. (2025). Technical, economic and lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions analyses of solid sorbent direct air capture technologies. Carbon Capture Science & Technology, 15, Article 100380. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccst.2025.100380

Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 will require the development of cost-effective and CO2-efficient direct air capture (DAC) technology to remove atmospheric CO2. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of five solid sorbents under different...

Body wave to surface wave using tailored meta-structures (2025)
Journal Article
Fuentes-Dominguez, R., Smith, R. J., Jin, P., Simonelli, M., Gibbon, S., & Clark, M. (2025). Body wave to surface wave using tailored meta-structures. Journal of Sound and Vibration, Article 118989. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2025.118989

Elastic waves are important in many application areas. Their manipulation and coupling between different acoustic modes is important and presents a considerable challenge that offers to unlock the flexibility in wave transport required for efficient...

The contact size dependence of wear rate in fretting: understanding and rationalising data from tests with flat-on-flat, cylinder-on-flat and sphere-on-flat contact configurations (2025)
Journal Article
Shipway, P. (2025). The contact size dependence of wear rate in fretting: understanding and rationalising data from tests with flat-on-flat, cylinder-on-flat and sphere-on-flat contact configurations. Wear, Article 205783. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wear.2025.205783

In fretting contacts between metals such as steels, wear normally takes place by the formation of an oxide debris in the contact and its subsequent expulsion. There are three stages to this process: (i) the transport of oxygen into the closed contact...

On face value: a ghost driver field study investigating interactions between pedestrians and a driverless vehicle with anthropomorphic displays (2025)
Journal Article
Large, D. R., Harvey, C., Hallewell, M., Li, X., & Burnett, G. (2025). On face value: a ghost driver field study investigating interactions between pedestrians and a driverless vehicle with anthropomorphic displays. Ergonomics, https://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2025.2454927

In a novel, on-road study, using a ‘Ghost Driver’ to emulate an automated vehicle (AV), we captured over 10 hours of video (n=520) and 64 survey responses documenting the behaviour and attitudes of pedestrians in response to the AV. Three prototype e... Read More about On face value: a ghost driver field study investigating interactions between pedestrians and a driverless vehicle with anthropomorphic displays.

Developing Preliminary Heuristics for In-Vehicle Ambient Intelligence Systems (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pande, S., Harvey, C., & Large, D. (2025, April). Developing Preliminary Heuristics for In-Vehicle Ambient Intelligence Systems. Presented at Ergonomics & Human Factors 2025, Burton upon Trent, UK

This study aimed to develop heuristics for designing and evaluating in-vehicle Ambient Intelligence (AmI) systems. Utilising an expert focus group (n=3) and a user study (n=8), 15 preliminary heuristics were derived. These aim to ensure that in-vehic...

Human-AI Decision-Making in Higher Education (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Houghton, R., Zhai, X., Li, Z., & Large, D. (2025, April). Human-AI Decision-Making in Higher Education. Presented at Ergonomics & Human Factors 2025, Burton upon Trent, UK

Findings from an online study and focus groups show that students and staff were receptive to AI decision-making in higher education, highlighting transparency and equitability. Even so, students expressed a desire for creative work to be seen by a ‘... Read More about Human-AI Decision-Making in Higher Education.

A Transition to Sustainable Built Environment: A Framework for Modular Building Construction Designed for Disassembly (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ali-Gombe, B., Tokbolat, S., & Mckechnie, J. (2024, June). A Transition to Sustainable Built Environment: A Framework for Modular Building Construction Designed for Disassembly. Presented at 1st International Conference on Net-Zero Built Environment: Innovations in Materials, Structures, and Management Practices (Net-Zero Future 2024), Oslo, Norway

In the quest to achieve a sustainable built environment, circular construction emerged as an innovative approach to aid towards a quick transition for the resource-intensive construction industry. The successful implementation of circular approaches... Read More about A Transition to Sustainable Built Environment: A Framework for Modular Building Construction Designed for Disassembly.
