Actuation and transduction by giant magnetostrictive alloys (2000)
Journal Article
Jenner, A. G., Smith, R. J. E., Wilkinson, A. J., & Greenough, R. D. (2000). Actuation and transduction by giant magnetostrictive alloys. Mechatronics, 10(4-5), 457-466. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0957-4158%2899%2900065-3

Since the discovery and understanding of the magnetic properties of the rare earth elements, the transduction properties of magnetostrictive alloys has improved significantly over earlier nickel based alloys. Alongside the advances in permanent magne... Read More about Actuation and transduction by giant magnetostrictive alloys.

The effect of stubs on the dynamics of TLM diffusion modeling networks (2000)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J., Wilkinson, A., & Pulko, S. (2000). The effect of stubs on the dynamics of TLM diffusion modeling networks. Numerical Heat Transfer, Part B Fundamentals, 37(2), 165-184. https://doi.org/10.1080/104077900275477

The dynamics of stub-loaded, diffusion-modeling transmission line matrix (TLM) nodes are investigated using the TLM-state space analogy. Analysis is performed for one-dimensional and three-dimensional nodes. Additional dynamics are identified and a s...

Discretization effects in TLM diffusion models (2000)
Journal Article
Pulko, S., & Wilkinson, A. (2000). Discretization effects in TLM diffusion models. International journal of numerical modelling, 13(1), 59 - 74. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291099-1204%28200001/02%2913%3A159%3A%3AAID-JNM382%3E3.3.CO%3B2-0

The standard methods for bringing a TLM diffusion model to convergence are necessary but tedious. However, much time and effort can be saved if the initial choices of elemental size and iteration timestep are appropriate. Here we consider the general...
