Site specific inelasticity of arterial tissue.
(2012)Understanding the mechanical behaviour of arterial tissue is vital to the development and analysis of medical devices targeting diseased vessels. During angioplasty and stenting, stress softening and permanent deformation ... -
Sleeve Pneumatic Artificial Muscles for Antagonistically Actuated Joints
(2019)Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) have been researched for applications in powered exoskeletons, orthosis and robotics. Their high force to mass ratio, low cost and inherent compliance are particularly ... -
Sliding bubble dynamics and the effects on surface heat transfer
(2012)An investigation into the eff ects of a single sliding air bubble on heat transfer from a submerged, inclined surface has been undertaken. Existing literature has shown that both vapour and gas bubbles can increase heat ... -
Small Scale Electricity Generation from a Portable Biomass Cookstove: Prototype Design and Preliminary Results
(2013)The World Health Organisation estimates that over 20% of the global population (~1.4 billion people) lack access to electricity. Furthermore, 40% of the global population (~2.7 billion people) rely on the traditional use ... -
Solid-state manufacturing of tungsten deposits onto molybdenum substrates with supersonic laser deposition
(2014)Near fully dense tungsten coatings onto molybdenum substrates have been demonstrated using the Supersonic Laser Deposition (SLD) process. This is a characteristic that is not readily achievable with refractory materials. ... -
Solid-State Phase Transformation and Self-Assembly of Amorphous Nanoparticles into Higher-Order Mineral Structures
(2020)Materials science has been informed by nonclassical pathways to crystallization, based on biological processes, about the fabrication of damage-tolerant composite materials. Various biomineralizing taxa, such as stony ... -
Spatial Noise Source Identification of Tonal Noise in Turbomachinery Using the Coherence Function on a Modal Basis (AIAA-2011-2825)
(2011)In modern helicopter engines, the core noise generated by the combustor and turbine stages dominates the core sound radiated from the engine exhaust. Identi cation of the specific contributions of each rotor-stator stage ... -
Sports Utility Vehicles and vulnerable road users
(British Medical Journal, 2006)Two independent trends in the developed world are likely to reverse some of the hard won improvements that have been made in road safety. One is the ageing of the population; the other the increase in the use of sports ...
