Performance of a condensed electrode patch compared to a diffuse electrode array for transabdominal fetal heart rate and uterine contraction monitoring: a preliminary report (2015)
Journal Article
Hayes-Gill, B. (2015). Performance of a condensed electrode patch compared to a diffuse electrode array for transabdominal fetal heart rate and uterine contraction monitoring: a preliminary report. American Journal of Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2(3), 89-95

Objective: Intrapartum monitoring of the fetal heart rate (FHR), maternal heart rate (MHR) and uterine activity (UA) can be done noninvasively via adhesive electrodes on the parturient’s abdominal surface. This approach, requiring multiple electrodes...

Design optimization of composite structures operating in acoustic environments (2015)
Journal Article
Chronopoulos, D. (2015). Design optimization of composite structures operating in acoustic environments. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 355, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2015.06.028

The optimal mechanical and geometric characteristics for layered composite structures subject to vibroacoustic excitations are derived. A Finite Element description coupled to Periodic Structure Theory is employed for the considered layered panel. St...

Laser drilling of via micro-holes in single-crystal semiconductor substrates using a 1070nm fibre laser with millisecond pulse widths (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maclean, J. O., Hodson, J. R., & Voisey, K. T. (2015, March). Laser drilling of via micro-holes in single-crystal semiconductor substrates using a 1070nm fibre laser with millisecond pulse widths. Presented at Industrial Laser Applications Symposium 2015, Kenilworth, United Kingdom

© 2015 SPIE. Micro-machining of semiconductors is relevant to fabrication challenges within the semiconductor industry. For via holes for solar cells, laser drilling potentially avoids deep plasma etching which requires sophisticated equipment and co...

On the constitutive modeling of dual-phase steels at finite strains: a generalized plasticity based approach (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Soldatos, D., Triantafyllou, S. P., & Chatzi, E. N. On the constitutive modeling of dual-phase steels at finite strains: a generalized plasticity based approach. Presented at Forming Technology Forum 2015

In this work we propose a general theoretic framework for the derivation of constitutive equations for dual-phase steels, undergoing continuum finite deformation. The proposed framework is based on the generalized plasticity theory and comprises the...

Computational studies of pressure distribution around a 5:1 rectangular section in turbulent flow (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nguyen, D. T., Hargreaves, D., & Owen, J. Computational studies of pressure distribution around a 5:1 rectangular section in turbulent flow. Presented at 14th International Conference on Wind Engineering

This paper presents a numerical method based on a LES approach to modelling the unsteady flow around and the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a 5:1 rectangular cylinder in the smooth and turbulent flow. A fluid-structure interaction algorithm was al... Read More about Computational studies of pressure distribution around a 5:1 rectangular section in turbulent flow.

Petri net modelling of bridge asset management using maintenance-related state conditions (2015)
Journal Article
