Multibody dynamics simulation of an all-wheel-drive motorcycle for handling and energy efficiency investigations (2017)
Journal Article
Griffin, J., & Popov, A. (in press). Multibody dynamics simulation of an all-wheel-drive motorcycle for handling and energy efficiency investigations. Vehicle System Dynamics, https://doi.org/10.1080/00423114.2017.1296962

It is now possible, through electrical, hydraulic or mechanical means, to power the front wheel of a motorcycle. The aim of this is often to improve performance in limit-handling scenarios including off-road low-traction conditions and on-road high-s...

Mitigation of ionospheric effects on GNSS positioning at low latitudes (2017)
Journal Article
Park, J., Vadakke Veettil, S., Aquino, M., Yang, L., & Cesaroni, C. (2017). Mitigation of ionospheric effects on GNSS positioning at low latitudes. Navigation, 64(1), https://doi.org/10.1002/navi.177

Ionospheric conditions at low latitudes are extremely harsh due to the frequent occurrence of scintillation and the presence of strong TEC gradients. For this study, the São Paulo state region in Brazil is chosen as a test area. This study presents a... Read More about Mitigation of ionospheric effects on GNSS positioning at low latitudes.

Coupled discrete/continuum simulations of the impact of granular slugs with clamped beams: stand-off effects (2017)
Journal Article
Goel, A., Uth, T., Liu, T., Wadley, H., & Deshpande, V. (2018). Coupled discrete/continuum simulations of the impact of granular slugs with clamped beams: stand-off effects. Mechanics of Materials, 116, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mechmat.2017.03.001

Coupled discrete particle/continuum simulations of the normal (zero obliquity) impact of granular slugs against the centre of deformable, end-clamped beams are reported. The simulations analyse the experiments of Uth et al. (2015) enabling a detailed...

Magnetically Induced Rotating Rayleigh-Taylor Instability (2017)
Journal Article
Scase, M. M., Baldwin, K. A., & Hill, R. J. (2017). Magnetically Induced Rotating Rayleigh-Taylor Instability. Journal of Visualized Experiments, https://doi.org/10.3791/55088

Classical techniques for investigating the Rayleigh-Taylor instability include using compressed gasses, rocketry or linear electric motors to reverse the effective direction of gravity, and accelerate the lighter fluid toward the denser fluid. Other... Read More about Magnetically Induced Rotating Rayleigh-Taylor Instability.

Enhancing evaporative mass transfer and steam stripping using microwave heating (2017)
Journal Article
Ogunniran, O., Binner, E., Sklavounos, A., & Robinson, J. P. (2017). Enhancing evaporative mass transfer and steam stripping using microwave heating. Chemical Engineering Science, 165, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ces.2017.03.003

The effect of microwave heating on evaporative mass transfer of hydrocarbons was investigated for a number of contaminated solid materials. The rate of oil removal could be rationalised by the velocity of steam that was created by selective heating o...

On the quasi-yield surface concept in plasticity theory (2017)
Journal Article
Soldatos, D., & Triantafyllou, S. P. (2017). On the quasi-yield surface concept in plasticity theory. ZAMM, 97(8), 961-972. https://doi.org/10.1002/zamm.201600133

In this paper we provide deeper insights into the concept of the quasi-yield surface in plasticity theory. More specifically, in this work, unlike the traditional treatments of plasticity where special emphasis is placed on an unambiguous definition...

The effect of Sr(OH)2 on the hydrogen storage properties of the Mg(NH2)2–2LiH system (2017)
Journal Article
Cao, H., Wang, H., Pistidda, C., Milanese, C., Zhang, W., Chaudhary, A.-L., Santoru, A., Garroni, S., Bednarcik, J., Liermann, H.-P., Chen, P., Klassen, T., & Dornheim, M. (2017).

The doping effect of Sr(OH)2 on the Mg(NH2)2–2LiH system is investigated considering different amounts of added Sr(OH)2 in the range of 0.05 to 0.2 mol. Experimental results show that both the thermodynamic and the kinetic properties of Mg(NH2)2–2LiH...
