Journal Article
Patel, R., McWilliam, S., & Popov, A. (2011). A geometric parameter study of piezoelectric coverage on a rectangular cantilever energy harvester. Smart Materials and Structures, 20(8), Article 085004. https://doi.org/10.1088/0964-1726/20/8/085004

This paper proposes a versatile model for optimizing the performance of a rectangular cantilever beam piezoelectric energy harvester used to convert ambient vibrations into electrical energy. The developed model accounts for geometric changes to the... Read More about A geometric parameter study of piezoelectric coverage on a rectangular cantilever energy harvester.

An investigation of the failure mechanisms in high temperature materials subjected to isothermal and anisothermal fatigue and creep conditions (2011)
Journal Article
Hyde, C. J., Sun, W., & Hyde, T. (in press). An investigation of the failure mechanisms in high temperature materials subjected to isothermal and anisothermal fatigue and creep conditions. Procedia Engineering, 10, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2011.04.192

Many engineering components are subjected to conditions which have a detrimental effect on the materials from which they are made. Such components are used, for example, within high temperature regions of aeroengines (e.g. turbine discs) and power pl...

A method for representation of component geometry using discrete pin for reconfigurable moulds (2011)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., Wang, Z., & Gindy, N. (2011). A method for representation of component geometry using discrete pin for reconfigurable moulds. Advances in Engineering Software, 42(7), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.advengsoft.2011.03.004

Moulding plays a paramount role in our daily life. Traditional moulding is often dedicated and expensive. As the current market trend moves from mass production towards small batch and large variation production, the demand for a mould that can recon...

Thermal-mechanical fatigue simulation of a P91 steel in a temperature range of 400–600°C (2011)
Journal Article
Saad, A., Hyde, C. J., Sun, W., & Hyde, T. (2011). Thermal-mechanical fatigue simulation of a P91 steel in a temperature range of 400–600°C. Materials at High Temperatures, 28(3), https://doi.org/10.3184/096034011X13072954674044

This paper deals with the identification of material constants to simulate the effect of cyclic mechanical loading and temperatures. A Chaboche viscoplasticity model was used in this study to model the thermal-mechanical behaviour of a P91 martensiti...
