Conventional twistable structures use discrete parts articulated around a number of linkages. These allow only a limited degree of twisting angle, are low in storage ratio, heavy and complex in morphing mechanisms. Double-helix structures are commonl...

Sorption-enhanced steam reforming (SE-SR) offers lower capital costs than conventional steam reforming with carbon capture, which arises from the compact makeup that allows reforming and CO2 capture to occur in a single reactor. However, the technolo... Read More about Modelling of sorption-enhanced steam reforming (SE-SR) process in fluidised bed reactors for low-carbon hydrogen production: A review.

Assessment of the mechanical role of cranial sutures in the mammalian skull: Computational biomechanical modelling of the rat skull (2023)

Journal of morphology, 284(3), Article e21555. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmor.21555

Cranial sutures are fibrocellular joints between the skull bones that are progressively replaced with bone throughout ontogeny, facilitating growth and cranial shape change. This transition from soft tissue to bone is reflected in the biomechanical p...
