© 2017 Anatomical Society During postnatal calvarial growth the brain grows gradually and the overlying bones and sutures accommodate that growth until the later juvenile stages. The whole process is coordinated through a complex series of biological... Read More about Predicting calvarial growth in normal and craniosynostotic mice using a computational approach.

The biomechanical role of the chondrocranium and sutures in a lizard cranium (2017)
Journal Article
Jones, M. E. H., Gröning, F., Dutel, H., Sharp, A., Fagan, M. J., & Evans, S. E. (2017). The biomechanical role of the chondrocranium and sutures in a lizard cranium. Journal of the Royal Society interface / the Royal Society, 14(137), Article 20170637. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2017.0637

The role of soft tissues in skull biomechanics remains poorly understood. Not least, the chondrocranium, the portion of the braincase which persists as cartilage with varying degrees of mineralization. It also remains commonplace to overlook the biom...

Neutral thermal sensation or dynamic thermal comfort? Numerical and field test analysis of a thermal chair (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shahzad, S., Calautit, J. K., Aquino, A. I., Nasir, D. S., & Hughes, B. R. Neutral thermal sensation or dynamic thermal comfort? Numerical and field test analysis of a thermal chair. Presented at 9th International Conference on Applied Energy (ICAE 2017), Cardiff, UK

Neutral thermal sensation is considered as the measure of thermal comfort in research, as when participants report feeling neutral regarding the thermal environment, they are considered as thermally comfortable. This is taken for granted, and althoug... Read More about Neutral thermal sensation or dynamic thermal comfort? Numerical and field test analysis of a thermal chair.

Inclusion of periodontal ligament fibres in mandibular finite element models leads to an increase in alveolar bone strains (2017)
Journal Article
