Journal Article
Fancey, K. S., & Wang, B. (2016). Towards optimisation of load-time conditions for producing viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites. Composites. Part B, Engineering, 87, 336-342. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesb.2015.09.003

A viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composite (VPPMC) is produced by applying a tensile creep load to polymeric fibres, the load being released before the fibres are moulded into a polymeric matrix. The viscoelastically recovering fibres... Read More about Towards optimisation of load-time conditions for producing viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites.

A method to estimate trends in distributions of 1 min rain rates from numerical weather prediction data (2015)
Journal Article
Paulson, K., Ranatunga, C., & Bellerby, T. (2015). A method to estimate trends in distributions of 1 min rain rates from numerical weather prediction data. Radio science, 50(9), 931-940. https://doi.org/10.1002/2015RS005651

It is known that the rain rate exceeded 0.01% of the time in the UK has experienced an increasing trend over the last 20 years. It is very likely that rain fade and outage experience a similar trend. This paper presents a globally applicable method t... Read More about A method to estimate trends in distributions of 1 min rain rates from numerical weather prediction data.

Process intensification for post combustion CO₂ capture with chemical absorption: a critical review (2015)
Journal Article
