Journal Article
Rengasamy, D., Rothwell, B. C., & Figueredo, G. P. (2021). Towards a more reliable interpretation of machine learning outputs for safety-critical systems using feature importance fusion. Applied Sciences, 11(24), Article 11854. https://doi.org/10.3390/app112411854

When machine learning supports decision-making in safety-critical systems, it is important to verify and understand the reasons why a particular output is produced. Although feature importance calculation approaches assist in interpretation, there is...

Seal failure in aerospace applications-creating a global open-source database Seals are essential components used in numerous applications across engineering. A seal is a component that impedes the flow of fluid through a given system. The word 'impe... Read More about Seal Failure In Aerospace Applications -- Creating A Global Open-source Database.

An Experimental Study of Contact Temperatures at Sealing Interface against Varying Shaft Surfaces (2021)
Journal Article
Shabbir, S., Garvey, S. D., Dakka, S. M., & Rothwell, B. C. (2021). An Experimental Study of Contact Temperatures at Sealing Interface against Varying Shaft Surfaces. Coatings, 11(2), Article 156. https://doi.org/10.3390/coatings11020156

Increased temperatures at the sealing interface between the seal and shaft can reduce the working life of a seal through elastomer aging, swelling and increased friction. Degradation of the seal due to increased temperatures can cause pre‐mature fail... Read More about An Experimental Study of Contact Temperatures at Sealing Interface against Varying Shaft Surfaces.
