Journal Article
Smerdova, O., Graham, R. S., Gasser, U., Hutchings, L. R., & De Focatiis, D. S. (2014). A novel nethod of extraction of blend component structure from SANS measurements of homopolymer bimodal blends. Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, 215(9), https://doi.org/10.1002/macp.201300787

A new method is presented for the extraction of single chain form factors and inter-chain interference functions from a range of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments on bimodal homopolymer blends. The method requires a minimum of three b... Read More about A novel nethod of extraction of blend component structure from SANS measurements of homopolymer bimodal blends.

The ability of materials to define the architecture and microenvironment experienced by cells provides new opportunities to direct the fate of human pluripotent stem cells (HPSCs) [Robinton DA, Daley GQ (2012) Nature 481(7381):295-305]. However, the... Read More about Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation.

Residual stresses in environmental and thermal barrier coatings on curved superalloy substrates: experimental measurements and modelling (2014)
Journal Article
Liu, D., Kyaw, S., Flewitt, P., Seraffon, M., Simms, N., Pavier, M., & Jones, I. (2014). Residual stresses in environmental and thermal barrier coatings on curved superalloy substrates: experimental measurements and modelling. Materials Science and Engineering: A, 606, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msea.2014.03.014

Residual stresses within thermal barrier coated (TBC) systems are predicted using finite element models and are compared against experimental measurements taken using Raman and photo-stimulated luminescence piezo-spectroscopic methods. Two types of s... Read More about Residual stresses in environmental and thermal barrier coatings on curved superalloy substrates: experimental measurements and modelling.

Optimisation of material properties for the modelling of large deformation manufacturing processes using a finite element model of the Gleeble compression test (2014)
Journal Article
Bennett, C., & Sun, W. (in press). Optimisation of material properties for the modelling of large deformation manufacturing processes using a finite element model of the Gleeble compression test. Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design, 49(6), https://doi.org/10.1177/0309324713520310

The finite element modelling of manufacturing processes often requires a large amount of large plastic strain flow stress data in order to represent the material of interest over a wide range of temperatures and strain rates. Compression data generat...

GIS for all: exploring the barriers and opportunities for underexploited GIS applications (2014)
Journal Article
Hao, Y., Brown, M., & Harding, J. (2014). GIS for all: exploring the barriers and opportunities for underexploited GIS applications

Geographical Information Systems have been existed
since the early 1960s, but evidence suggests that
adoption of GIS technologies still remains relatively
low in many sectors. We will explore both the barriers
that affect the utilisation of GIS a... Read More about GIS for all: exploring the barriers and opportunities for underexploited GIS applications.
