Journal Article
Engel, B., Lavie, W., Rouse, J., Whittaker, M., Jones, J., Lancaster, R., …Hyde, C. (2024). Modelling the influence of plasticity induced softening on the low cycle fatigue and crack propagation behaviour of a nickel-based superalloy. Computational Materials Science, 231, Article 112604. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.commatsci.2023.112604

Cyclic hysteresis loops generated during high-temperature, isothermal, low-cycle fatigue testing of the nickel-based superalloy RR1000 revealed a gradual decrease in elastic modulus of up to 25 % compared to the initial value in dependence of the acc...

Comparative Analysis of Isochoric and Isobaric Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (2023)
Journal Article
Pottie, D., Cardenas, B., Garvey, S., Rouse, J., Hough, E., Bagdanavicius, A., & Barbour, E. (2023). Comparative Analysis of Isochoric and Isobaric Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage. Energies, 16(6), Article 2646. https://doi.org/10.3390/en16062646

Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (ACAES) is regarded as a promising, grid scale, medium-to-long duration energy storage technology. In ACAES, the air storage may be isochoric (constant volume) or isobaric (constant pressure). Isochoric storage...
