Parametric investigation of a non-constant cross sectional area air to air heat exchanger (2016)
Journal Article
Cárdenas, B., Garvey, S., Kantharaj, B., & Simpson, M. (2017). Parametric investigation of a non-constant cross sectional area air to air heat exchanger. Applied Thermal Engineering, 113, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2016.10.209

The present article addresses the design, mathematical modelling and analysis of a novel highly exergy-efficient air to air heat exchanger. An intricate design based on an hexagonal mesh is proposed for the cross-sectional area of the heat exchanger...

Minimization of electro-mechanical interaction with posicast strategies for more-electric aircraft applications (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Ahumada, C., Garvey, S. D., Yang, T., Kulsangcharoen, P., Wheeler, P., & Morvan, H. (2016). Minimization of electro-mechanical interaction with posicast strategies for more-electric aircraft applications.

This paper studies strategies to minimize the electromechanical interaction (EMI) within aircraft power systems. With the growth of electrical power on-board aircraft, the interaction between the electrical systems and the engine core will become sig...

Design study and scaled experiment of induction and synchronous motor for civil application of electromagnetic aircraft launch system (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., Garvey, S. D., & Morvan, H. (2016). Design study and scaled experiment of induction and synchronous motor for civil application of electromagnetic aircraft launch system.

The engine size of modern passenger transport aircraft is principally determined by take-off conditions, since initial acceleration requires maximum engine power. An Electromagnetic Launch (EML) system could provide some or all of the energy required...

Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft (2016)
Journal Article
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., Garvey, S. D., & Morvan, H. (2016). Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft. IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 26(8), https://doi.org/10.1109/TASC.2016.2598772

This paper considers the feasibility of different superconducting technologies for electromagnetic launch (EML) to assist civil aircraft take-off. EML has the potential of reducing the required runway length by increasing aircraft acceleration. Expen... Read More about Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft.

Novel stiffeners exploiting internal pressurisation to enhance buckling behaviour under bending loads (2016)
Journal Article
Polenta, V., Garvey, S. D., Chronopoulos, D., Long, A. C., & Morvan, H. (2016). Novel stiffeners exploiting internal pressurisation to enhance buckling behaviour under bending loads. Thin-Walled Structures, 105, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tws.2016.04.002

The paper proposes a novel type of stiffener designed to bear bending loads by exploiting internal pressure effects. The stiffener is made of two adjacent thin-walled pipes (r/t?50) jointed with a connecting strip. Such a structure is shown to have h...
