The development of a novel technique for small ring specimen tensile testing (2018)
Journal Article
Kazakeviciute, J., Rouse, J., De Focatiis, D., & Hyde, C. (2019). The development of a novel technique for small ring specimen tensile testing. Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, 99, 131-139. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tafmec.2018.11.016

The wide scale use of small specimens in routine testing programs could significantly reduce material resource requirements (factors of 10 are easily achievable). This is a major benefit to situations where there is not enough material to manufacture... Read More about The development of a novel technique for small ring specimen tensile testing.

A neural network approach for determining spatial and geometry dependent Green's functions for thermal stress approximation in power plant header components (2018)
Journal Article
Rouse, J., Hyde, C., & Morris, A. (2018). A neural network approach for determining spatial and geometry dependent Green's functions for thermal stress approximation in power plant header components. International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping, 168, 269-288. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpvp.2018.10.020

The trend in power generation to operate plant with a greater frequency of on/partial/off load conditions creates several concerns for the long term structural integrity of many high temperature components. The Green's function method has been used f...
