On the interpretation of results from small punch creep tests (2010)
Journal Article
Hyde, T. H., Stoyanov, M., Sun, W., & Hyde, C. J. (2010). On the interpretation of results from small punch creep tests. Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design, 45(3), https://doi.org/10.1243/03093247JSA592

The small punch creep testing method is highly complex and involves interactions between a number of non-linear processes. The deformed shapes that are produced from such tests are related to the punch and specimen dimensions and to the elastic, plas...

A novel method for obtaining the multiaxiality constant for damage mechanics which is appropriate to crack tip conditions (2010)
Journal Article
Hyde, C. J., Sun, W., & Hyde, T. (2010). A novel method for obtaining the multiaxiality constant for damage mechanics which is appropriate to crack tip conditions. Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1115/PVP2011-57166

Many engineering components, such as power plant steam pipes, aero-engine turbine discs, etc, operate under severe loading/temperature conditions for the majority of their service life. As a result, cracks can initiate and subsequently propagate over...

Evaluation of cure shrinkage measurement techniques for thermosetting resins (2010)
Journal Article
Shah, D. U., & Schubel, P. J. (2010). Evaluation of cure shrinkage measurement techniques for thermosetting resins. Polymer Testing, 29(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polymertesting.2010.05.001

Resin chemical shrinkage dictates the surface integrity and the roughness of a composite structure. Thus, to minimize surface failures and to produce a good surface quality it is a requisite to be able to measure and track resin shrinkage during the...

Predicting the human response to an emergency (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lawson, G., Sharples, S., Cobb, S., & Clarke, D. Predicting the human response to an emergency. Presented at Contemporary Ergonomics 2009

This paper presents a case study of an approach for predicting the human response to a domestic fire, using a combination of a talk-through technique (Kirwan and Ainsworth, 1992) and sequential analysis (Bakeman and Gottman, 1986). 20 participants we...

The effect of laser transformation notching on the controlled fracture of a high carbon (C70S6 ) steel (2008)
Journal Article
Zhang, D., Harris, S. J., McCartney, D., Pashby, I., Powell, J., Shipway, P., & Voisey, K. (2008). The effect of laser transformation notching on the controlled fracture of a high carbon (C70S6 ) steel. Materials Science and Engineering: A, 489(1-2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msea.2007.12.040

A high carbon (C70S6) steel has been laser surface treated using CO2 and Diode lasers in order to produce an embrittled region to act as a fracture notch. Such a process has been investigated as a precursor to the fracture splitting of automotive eng...

Modal Control of Vibration in Rotating Machines and Other Generally Damped Systems (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Houlston, P. R., Garvey, S. D., & Popov, A. A. Modal Control of Vibration in Rotating Machines and Other Generally Damped Systems. Presented at ISMA 2006 International Conference on Noise and Vibration Engineering

Second order matrix equations arise in the description of real dynamical systems. Traditional modal control approaches utilise the eigenvectors of the undamped system to diagonalise the system matrices. A regrettable consequence of this approach is t...

Optimal Controller Designs for Rotating Machines - Penalising the Rate of Change of Control Forcing (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Houlston, P. R., Garvey, S. D., & Popov, A. A. Optimal Controller Designs for Rotating Machines - Penalising the Rate of Change of Control Forcing. Presented at 7th IFToMM Conference on Rotor Dynamics

In the context of active control of rotating machines, standard optimal controller methods enable a trade-off to be made between (weighted) mean-square vibrations and (weighted) mean-square currents injected into magnetic bearings. One shortcoming of... Read More about Optimal Controller Designs for Rotating Machines - Penalising the Rate of Change of Control Forcing.
