AC Voltage Induced Electrohydrodynamic Two-Phase Convective Boiling Heat Transfer in Horizontal Annular Channels
(2012)An experimental study of alternating current (AC) induced electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow and heat transfer augmentation for boiling inside an annular channel containing working fluid refrigerant HFC-134a has been conducted ... -
Acoustic plate-valve resonator for low-frequency sound absorption
(2023)An acoustic plate-valve resonator is developed and optimized to maximize absorption by enhancing the Helmholtz resonance with coincident structural vibrations of the plate-valve. The current research initially examines the ... -
Adaptive Design of a Prototype Electricity-Producing Biomass Cooking Stove
(2015)This work is a second iteration of an adaptive design project aimed at developing an appropriate off-grid technology for small-scale electricity generation in rural Malawi, and possibly for other developing countries. ... -
Advanced diamond-reinforced copper composite coatings via cold spray and material characterization
(2016)Diamond reinforced copper matrix composites (DCMC) has great potentials for heat sinks applications due to their excellent thermal properties. Cold Spray, as a relatively emerging coating technique, is able to ... -
Aeroacoustic Noise Source Identification Using Irregularly Sampled LDV Measurements Coupled with Beamforming (AIAA-2011-2719)
(2011)This paper develops a technique which relates dynamic pressure measurements taken outside the hydrodynamic eld of a low speed jet to single point, one component velocity measurements taken within the jet using a Laser ... -
Aeroacoustic source characterization technique applied to a cylindrical Helmholtz resonator
(2011)The aim of this work is to investigate the sound produced by a Helmholtz resonator excited by a boundary layer. A deep cylindrical cavity with a small rectangular opening was designed to allow Helmholtz resonance as well ... -
Aeroacoustics research in Europe: The CEAS-ASC report on 2022 highlights
(2024)The Council of European Aerospace Societies (CEAS) Aeroacoustics Specialists Committee (ASC) supports and promotes the interests of the scientific and industrial aeroacoustics community on a European scale and European ... -
Affinity-bound growth factor within sulfated interpenetrating network bioinks for bioprinting cartilaginous tissues
(2021)3D bioprinting has emerged as a promising technology in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to its ability to create anatomically complex tissue substitutes. However, it still remains challenging ... -
Age-related responses to injury and repair in insect cuticle
(The Company of Biologists Ltd, 2019)We evaluated the ability of female adult desert locusts (Schistocercagregaria) to repair injuries to their exoskeletons and restore mechanical strength over the course of their natural life. We discovered that younger ... -
Air jet cooling of brake discs
(Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 2008)This paper reports on an investigation of a novel approach to the cooling of brake discs, based on the application of impinging air jets. This has the capacity to enhance the heat transfer coefficients at the disc surface ... -
Altering the architecture of tissue engineered hypertrophic cartilaginous grafts facilitates vascularisation and accelerates mineralisation.
(2014)Cartilaginous tissues engineered using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be leveraged to generate bone in vivo by executing an endochondral program, leading to increased interest in the use of such hypertrophic grafts ... -
Analysis of a Wide Range of Commercial Exterior Wood Coatings
(MDPI AG, 2020)This study was focused on measuring the properties of twenty-three commercially available coatings formulated for exterior wood applications. The coatings were characterized by measuring their surface tension, solid content, ... -
Analysis of tool cavity stresses in channel angular extrusion
(2006)The Channel Angular Extrusion (CAE) technique is a process, in which a deformable solid material is led to yielding through the intersection of inclined c hannels. Compared to classic plastic deformation, ... -
Analytical heat conduction model of annular composite fins
(2018)A two-dimensional analytical heat conduction model of an annular composite fin has been carried out.The composite fins composed of a porous polyethylene core, a square aluminum insert,and metallic zinc coating layers, ... -
An anisotropic inelastic constitutive model to describe stress softening and permanent deformation in arterial tissue
(2012)Inelastic phenomena such as softening and unrecoverable inelastic strains induced by loading have been observed experimentally in soft tissues such as arteries. These phenomena need to be accounted for in constitutive ... -
The anisotropic mechanical behaviour of passive skeletal muscle tissue subjected to large tensile strain
(2013)The passive mechanical properties of muscle tissue are important for many biomechanics applications. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the three-dimensional tensile response of passive skeletal ...
