The Effect of Light Intensity, Sensor Height, and Spectral Pre-Processing Methods When Using NIR Spectroscopy to Identify Different Allergen-Containing Powdered Foods (2019)
Journal Article

Food allergens present a significant health risk to the human population, so their presence must be monitored and controlled within food production environments. This is especially important for powdered food, which can contain nearly all known food...

The use of free-space microwave non-destructive techniques: simulation of damage detection in carbon fibre reinforced composites (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Microwave non-destructive testing (MNDT) methods represent an effective solution in detecting defects within composite structures with relatively low electrical conductivity. They offer the advantage to overcome the problems of traditional NDT techni...

A fully coupled computational framework for fluid pressurised crack evolution in porous media (2019)
Journal Article

This paper presents a computational framework for modelling hydraulic fracture on the basis of combining continuum porous media and damage theories. By considering the continuum as two separate domains of damaged and intact porous domains, model comp...

Developing an Economic Estimation System for Vertical Farms (2019)
Book Chapter

The concept of vertical farming is nearly twenty years old, however, there are only a few experimental prototypes despite its many advantages compared to conventional agriculture. Significantly, financial uncertainty has been identified as the larges... Read More about Developing an Economic Estimation System for Vertical Farms.

Petri Nets and Pseudo-Bond Graphs for a Nuclear Reactor Primary Coolant System (2019)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper we demonstrate the application of timed Petri Net methodology to the frequency of initiating faults in the coolant circulation system of a fictional nuclear reactor design. A second model is presented where the Petri Net is coupled with... Read More about Petri Nets and Pseudo-Bond Graphs for a Nuclear Reactor Primary Coolant System.

Switchable ETFE cushion: designing and building a model for experimental testing (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Adaptive façade systems have the potential for saving energy and enhancing comfort conditions in buildings. Creating working models with materials, components and functions which embody the design idea of a responsive building envelope is an importan...

Comparison of transmission loss prediction using condensed equivalent plate models (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Equivalent plate models are commonly used in order to simulate multilayer system as one single layer. This kind of approach enables for instance to reduce the mesh size and thus the number of degrees of freedom in finite element models. Usual condens...
