Improving immersive consumption contexts using virtual & mixed reality (2024)
Journal Article
Barker, I., Yang, Q., Flintham, M., Ankeny, R., & Ford, R. (in press). Improving immersive consumption contexts using virtual & mixed reality. Science Talks, Article 100346. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sctalk.2024.100346

Immersive technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR), provide a great opportunity to create relevant contexts in consumer studies. However, challenges persist in consuming food and drink during immersion and ensuring effective data collection. This s...

Model refinements with experimental validation in piezoelectric plate actuators (2024)
Journal Article
Popov, A., Gungordu, B., & Jabbal, M. (in press). Model refinements with experimental validation in piezoelectric plate actuators. Journal of Sound and Vibration, Article 118462. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2024.118462

The axisymmetric vibration analysis of circular plates with piezoelectric layers and step changes in plate thickness is conducted. For the chosen configurations, it is necessary to solve a coupled system of differential equations for extensional and...
