Application of time–stress superposition to viscoelastic behavior of polyamide 6,6 fiber and its “true” elastic modulus (2017)
Journal Article
Wang, B., & Fancey, K. S. (2017). Application of time–stress superposition to viscoelastic behavior of polyamide 6,6 fiber and its “true” elastic modulus. Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 134(24), Article 44971. https://doi.org/10.1002/app.44971

The viscoelastic behavior of semi-crystalline polyamide 6,6 fiber is exploited in viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites. To understand better the underlying prestress mechanisms, strain–time performance of the fiber material is inv...

Assessment of micro-scale anaerobic digestion for management of urban organic waste: A case study in London, UK (2017)
Journal Article
Walker, M., Theaker, H., Yaman, R., Poggio, D., Nimmo, W., Bywater, A., Blanch, G., & Pourkashanian, M. (2017). Assessment of micro-scale anaerobic digestion for management of urban organic waste: A case study in London, UK. Waste Management, 61, 258-268. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2017.01.036

This paper describes the analysis of an AD plant that is novel in that it is located in an urban environment, built on a micro-scale, fed on food and catering waste, and operates as a purposeful system. The plant was built in 2013 and continues to op... Read More about Assessment of micro-scale anaerobic digestion for management of urban organic waste: A case study in London, UK.

Snap-through behaviour of a bistable structure based on viscoelastically generated prestress (2017)
Journal Article
Wang, B., Ge, C., & Fancey, K. S. (2017). Snap-through behaviour of a bistable structure based on viscoelastically generated prestress. Composites. Part B, Engineering, 114, 23-33. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesb.2017.01.069

A novel form of shape-changing bistable structure has been successfully developed through the use of viscoelastically generated prestress. Bistability is achieved through pairs of deflecting viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composite (VP...

Influence of antenna selection on spectrum occupancy measurements in the context of cognitive radio (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mehdawi, M., Riley, N. G., Fanan, A., & Ammar, M. (2016, November). Influence of antenna selection on spectrum occupancy measurements in the context of cognitive radio. Presented at 24th Telecommunications Forum, TELFOR 2016

© 2016 IEEE. Cognitive radio (CR) has been proposed as a solution to the spectrum scarcity problem, which is aggravated by emergence of bandwidth-hungry and feature-rich wireless applications. Selection of appropriate antennas for cognitive radio app... Read More about Influence of antenna selection on spectrum occupancy measurements in the context of cognitive radio.
