Evaluation of the influence of strain rate on Colles' fracture load (2012)
Journal Article
Ural, A., Zioupos, P., Buchanan, D., & Vashishth, D. (2012). Evaluation of the influence of strain rate on Colles' fracture load. Journal of biomechanics, 45(10), 1854-1857. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2012.04.023

Colles' fracture, a transverse fracture of the distal radius bone, is one of the most frequently observed osteoporotic fractures resulting from low energy or traumatic events, associated with low and high strain rates, respectively. Although experime... Read More about Evaluation of the influence of strain rate on Colles' fracture load.

Investigating the mechanical properties of RDX crystals using nano-indentation (2012)
Journal Article
Hudson, R. J., Zioupos, P., & Gill, P. P. (2012). Investigating the mechanical properties of RDX crystals using nano-indentation. Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, 37(2), 191-197. https://doi.org/10.1002/prep.201100063

The shock sensitivity of RDX is of major interest for the development of insensitive munitions. Previous research has implied that internal defects that form within RDX crystals have a strong sensitising effect, increasing the probability of shock in...
