Complementary modes of impulse generation for flow past a three-dimensional obstacle.

Journal Article
Summers, D. M. (2007)
Complementary modes of impulse generation for flow past a three-dimensional obstacle. Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics, 21(1), (15-38). doi:10.1007/s00162-006-0023-0. ISSN 0935-4964
A Lagrangian model for viscous incompressible flow past a stationary solid obstacle is developed in terms of the creation over successive instants of time of fluid impulse at ...

Wavelet transform reassignment and the use of low-oscillation complex wavelets.

Journal Article
Addison, P., Morvidone, M., Watson, J. N. & Clifton, D. (2006)
Wavelet transform reassignment and the use of low-oscillation complex wavelets. Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing. 20, 1429-1443. doi:10.1016/j.ymssp.2005.03.002. ISSN 0888-3270
In this paper, we explore the use of new time-frequency reassignment tools for the enhancement of prominent features in the time-frequency plane of the wavelet transform. The ...

Eight-node Reissner–Mindlin plate element based on boundary interpolation using Timoshenko beam function

Journal Article
Zhang, H., & Kuang, J. S. (2007)
Eight-node Reissner–Mindlin plate element based on boundary interpolation using Timoshenko beam function. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 69(7), 1345-1373. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.1809
A new eight-node Reissner-Mindlin plate element is developed with a special interpolation within the element. This special interpolation is an extension of the element boundar...

Design of RHS for torsion using simplified thick wall theory.

Journal Article
Ridley-Ellis, D., Owen, J. S. & Davies, G. (2003)
Design of RHS for torsion using simplified thick wall theory. The structural engineer : journal of the Institution of Structural Engineers. 81, 31-36. ISSN 1466-5123
The theory of torsion in Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) is reviewed and discussed with reference to design code treatments in the UK, Europe and the USA. The classical theo...

Theoretical and measured torsional behaviour of rectangular hollow sections.

Conference Proceeding
Ridley-Ellis, D., Owen, J. S. & Davies, G. (2002)
Theoretical and measured torsional behaviour of rectangular hollow sections. ISBN 1-880653-58-3
Theories for torsion of Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) are compared and thick wall theory is shown to be a better representation of behaviour. The results of torsion tests ...

Risk sensitivity applied to arch bridge assessments: an introduction.

Journal Article
Ng, K., Fairfield, C. A., & Sibbald, A. (2001)
Risk sensitivity applied to arch bridge assessments: an introduction. The structural engineer : journal of the Institution of Structural Engineers, 79, 31-37
There are approximately 75,000 masonry arch bridges in the UK, most of which were built between 1700 and 1900 and are now carrying traffic loads far beyond those envisaged by ...
