We study the impact of tenure in office on economic performance. We evaluate
the relationships between tenure in office and GDP growth, public capital growth, and public
capital productivity using data for Spanish regions during the period 1980–199... Read More about Does tenure in office affect regional growth? The role of public capital productivity.

A novel method for obtaining the multiaxiality constant for damage mechanics which is appropriate to crack tip conditions (2010)
Journal Article
Hyde, C. J., Sun, W., & Hyde, T. (2010). A novel method for obtaining the multiaxiality constant for damage mechanics which is appropriate to crack tip conditions. Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1115/PVP2011-57166

Many engineering components, such as power plant steam pipes, aero-engine turbine discs, etc, operate under severe loading/temperature conditions for the majority of their service life. As a result, cracks can initiate and subsequently propagate over...

An SIR epidemic model on a population with random network and household structure and several types of individuals (2010)
Journal Article
Ball, F. G., & Sirl, D. J. An SIR epidemic model on a population with random network and household structure and several types of individuals. Manuscript submitted for publication

We consider a stochastic SIR (susceptible → infective → removed) epidemic model with several types of individuals. Infectious individuals can make infectious contacts on two levels, within their own ‘household’ and with their neighbours in a random g...
