Scaling of Convective Heat Transfer Enhancement Due to Flow Pulsation in an Axisymmetric Impinging Jet
(2013)Impinging jets are widely used to achieve a high local convective heat flux, with applications in high power density electronics and various other industrial fields. The heat transfer to steady impinging jets has been ... -
The Scissors Model of Microcrack Detection in Bone: Work in Progress
(2010)We have proposed a new model for microcrack detection by osteocytes in bone. According to this model, cell signalling is initiated by the cutting of cellular processes which span the crack. We show that shear displacements ... -
Self-healing materials: What can nature teach us?
(2017)Natural materials such as bone and insect cuticle are capable of self-repair, a facility that greatly increases their durability and safe working stress. Some engineering materials have also been designed to be self-healing, ... -
SeMSA: a compact super absorber optimised for broadband, low-frequency noise attenuation
(2020)The attenuation of low-frequency broadband noise in a light, small form-factor is an intractable challenge. In this paper, a new technology is presented which employs the highly efficient visco-thermal loss mechanism of a ... -
Sensitivity of the damping controlled fluidelastic instability threshold to mass ratio, pitch ratio and Reynolds number in normal triangular arrays
(2018)Sensitivity of the damping controlled fluidelastic instability threshold of normal triangular tube arrays has been investigated through a theoretical-CFD hybrid methodology without the need for experimental data. ... -
Shape-memory porous alginate scaffolds for regeneration of the annulus fibrosus - Effect of TGF-β3 supplementation and oxygen culture conditions
(2014)Disc herniation as a result of degenerative or traumatic injury is believed to be the primary instigator of low back pain. At present there is a lack of viable treatment options to repair damaged annulus fibrosus tissue ... -
Shear Layer Driven Acoustic Modes in a Cylindrical Cavity (AIAA 2010-3903)
(2010)Coherence based source analysis techniques can be used to identify the contribution of broadband noise sources in the exhaust of a gas turbine and hence enable the design of noise reduction devices. However, when the ... -
Shear Layer Dynamics of a Cylindrical Cavity for Different Acoustic Resonance Modes
(2010)This paper investigates the interaction between the shear layer over a circular cavity and the flow-excited acoustic response of the volume to shear layer instability modes. Within the fluid-resonant category of cavity ... -
Significance of Crosslinking Approaches in the Development of Next Generation Hydrogels for Corneal Tissue Engineering.
(2021)Medical conditions such as trachoma, keratoconus and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy can damage the cornea, leading to visual deterioration and blindness and necessitating a cornea transplant. Due to the shortage of donor ... -
Silk fibroin based interpenetrating network hydrogel for corneal stromal regeneration
(2022)There is a need to develop tissue engineering based approaches to address the shortage of donor corneas worldwide for transplantation. To do this a novel approach to fabricate three-dimensional hydrogels using free-radical ... -
Silk fibroin safety in the eye: A review that highlights a concern
(2020)The biomedical use of silk as a suture dates back to antiquity. Fibroin is the structural element that determines the strength of silk and here we consider the safety of fibroin in its role in ophthalmology. The high ... -
Simulation of angiogenesis and cell differentiation in a CaP scaffold subjected to compressive strains using a lattice modeling approach
(2010)Mechanical stimuli are one of the factors that influence tissue differentiation. In the development of biomaterials for bone tissue engineering, mechanical stimuli and formation of a vascular network that transport oxygen ... -
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 ...
