The Prediction of isothermal cyclic plasticity in 7175-T7351 aluminium alloy with particular emphasis on thermal ageing effects (2018)
Journal Article
Wing Cheong, M. L., Rouse, J., Hyde, C., & Kennedy, A. (2018). The Prediction of isothermal cyclic plasticity in 7175-T7351 aluminium alloy with particular emphasis on thermal ageing effects. International Journal of Fatigue, 114, 92-108. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijfatigue.2018.05.010

Rapid thermal ageing has been observed in the literature for certain aerospace aluminium alloys under conditions which are foreseeable in their intended component applications. While several experimental programs have explored this phenomenon in the...

Analysing truck harsh braking incidents to study roundabout accident risk (2018)
Journal Article
Kamla, J., Parry, T., & Dawson, A. (2019). Analysing truck harsh braking incidents to study roundabout accident risk. Accident Analysis and Prevention, 122, 365-377. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2018.04.031

In order to reduce accident risk, highway authorities prioritise maintenance budgets partly based upon previous accident history. However, as accident rates have continued to fall, this approach has become problematic as accident ‘black spots’ have b...

Dynamic compressive response of additively manufactured AlSi10Mg alloy hierarchical honeycomb structures (2018)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Liu, T., Ren, H., Maskery, I., & Ashcroft, I. (2018). Dynamic compressive response of additively manufactured AlSi10Mg alloy hierarchical honeycomb structures. Composite Structures, 195, 45-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2018.04.021

Periodic honeycombs have been used for their high strength, low weight and multifunctionality. The quasi-static and dynamic compressive responses of three types of additively manufactured AlSi10Mg honeycomb structures, specifically a single-scale hon...

Seismic rehabilitation of substandard R.C. buildings with masonry infills (2018)
Journal Article
Pardalopoulos, S. I., Pantazopoulou, S. J., & Thermou, G. E. (2018). Seismic rehabilitation of substandard R.C. buildings with masonry infills. Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 24(2), 298-327. https://doi.org/10.1080/13632469.2018.1453397

Seismic deformation demands are localized in areas of stiffness discontinuity, such as in the soft storys of frame structures, where disproportionate damage is often reported in post-earthquake reconnaissance. In many parts of the world, this damage... Read More about Seismic rehabilitation of substandard R.C. buildings with masonry infills.

Determination of charge-carrier mobility in disordered thin-film solar cells as a function of current density (2018)
Journal Article
Mäckel, H., & MacKenzie, R. C. (2018). Determination of charge-carrier mobility in disordered thin-film solar cells as a function of current density. Physical Review Applied, 9(3), Article 034020. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevapplied.9.034020

Charge-carrier mobility is a fundamental material parameter, which plays an important role in determining solar-cell efficiency. The higher the mobility, the less time a charge carrier will spend in a device and the less likely it is that it will be...

A techno-economic assessment of the potential for combining supercritical water oxidation with ‘in-situ’ hydrothermal synthesis of nanocatalysts using a counter current mixing reactor (2018)
Journal Article
Al-Atta, A., Huddle, T., Rodríguez, Y. G., Mato, F., García-Serna, J., Cocero, M. J., …Lester, E. (2018). A techno-economic assessment of the potential for combining supercritical water oxidation with ‘in-situ’ hydrothermal synthesis of nanocatalysts using a counter current mixing reactor. Chemical Engineering Journal, 344, 431-440. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2018.03.058

A combined process of supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) and supercritical water hydrothermal synthesis (SCWHS) in a continuous counter current reactor is reported. Acrylic acid was used as a model unsaturated carboxylic acid compound and the effec...

Understanding the limits of plasmonic enhancement in organic photovoltaics (2018)
Journal Article
Erwin, W. R., MacKenzie, R. C. I., & Bardhan, R. (2018). Understanding the limits of plasmonic enhancement in organic photovoltaics. Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 122(14), 7859-7866. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.8b00786

Plasmonic enhancement in organic photovoltaics has been extensively studied in the past decade. However, the reported improvements in power conversion efficiency (PCE) are highly inconsistent due to a poor understanding of the limitations of how plas...
