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...

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...
