Vortex sound radiation in a flow duct with a dipole source and a flexible wall of finite length (2017)
Journal Article
Chiang, Y. K., Choy, Y. S., & Tang, S. K. (2017). Vortex sound radiation in a flow duct with a dipole source and a flexible wall of finite length. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 141(3), 1999-2010. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4978521

The noise attenuation of fan-ducted noise at low blade-passage frequency remains a challenge. The present study investigates the noise reduction mechanism of a tensioned membrane housing device that directly controls the sound radiation from the doub...

The effect of boundary constraints on finite element modelling of the human pelvis (2017)
Journal Article
Watson, P., Dostanpor, A., Fagan, M. J., & Dobson, C. A. (2017). The effect of boundary constraints on finite element modelling of the human pelvis. Medical engineering & physics, 43, 48-57. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2017.02.001

The use of finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the biomechanics of anatomical systems critically relies on the specification of physiologically representative boundary conditions. The biomechanics of the pelvis has been the specific focus of... Read More about The effect of boundary constraints on finite element modelling of the human pelvis.

On the occurrence of a eutectic-type structure in solidification of Al-Zr alloys (2017)
Journal Article

For the first time, experimental evidence is presented for the occurrence of a eutectic reaction in dilute Al-Zr alloys solidified at cooling rates from 0.5 to 5 K/s. Particles which formed at grain boundaries during solidification were confirmed by... Read More about On the occurrence of a eutectic-type structure in solidification of Al-Zr alloys.

Application of time–stress superposition to viscoelastic behavior of polyamide 6,6 fiber and its “true” elastic modulus (2017)
Journal Article
