Automated finite element modelling of 3D woven textiles (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zeng, X., Long, A., Clifford, M., Probst-Schendzielorz, S., & Schmitt, M. (2011). Automated finite element modelling of 3D woven textiles.

The advance of 3D fabric technology allows tailored material structure in different directions for optimised performance. 3D fabrics open up increasing applications in automotive, medical, energy and many other areas. This paper explores highly autom... Read More about Automated finite element modelling of 3D woven textiles.

What's for dinner? Gendered decision-making and energy efficient cookstoves in Benue State, North Central Nigeria
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Atagher, P., Clifford, M., Jewitt, S., & Ray, C. (2017, September). What's for dinner? Gendered decision-making and energy efficient cookstoves in Benue State, North Central Nigeria. Presented at 7th International Conference on Energy and Sustainability, Seville, Spain

Solid biomass collection such as firewood rests mostly on women and children in settings where traditional fuels dominates household energy choices. A 2015 World Health Organisation (WHO) report estimated that 3.5 million people globally rely on soli... Read More about What's for dinner?

Challenges to the industrial melt-processing of conductive plastics
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Choong, G. Y. H., De Focatiis, D. S. A., Lidgett, M. J., Thornton, M. J., & Clifford, M. J. Challenges to the industrial melt-processing of conductive plastics. Presented at Proceedings of the Europe/Africa Conference Dresden 2017 – Polymer Processing Society PPS, Dresden, Germany

In this work, we investigate the relationship between the timescales available for polymer mobility during processing and post-processing and the electrical resistivity of melt-processed thermoplastics filled with carbon nanoparticles. Post-process a... Read More about Challenges to the industrial melt-processing of conductive plastics.
