A new Approach for experimental evaluation of contact stresses
(2005)n metal forming operations, t he intensity and distribution o f stresses at the tool/material interface have great influence on the pattern and mode of deformation. This is due to the effect ... -
A Comparison of Coherence Based Acoustic Source Identification Techniques
(2005)Four techniques of source identification are examined and the performance of each evaluated with experimental data. The procedures are all frequency domain methods and depend to some extent on the coherence function. The ... -
A comparison of strain and fluid shear stress in stimulating bone cell responses - a computational and experimental study
(2005)Bone undergoes continuous remodeling in response to mechanical loading. However, the underlying mechanisms by which bone cells respond to their changing mechanical environment, that is, strain in the load-bearing matrix ... -
Under surface pressure sensing technique for the evaluation of contact stresses
(2005)In metal forming operations, the intensity and distribution of stresses at the tool/material interface have great influence on the pattern and mode of deformation. This is due to the effect of frictional forces, being ... -
Pedestrian Risk from Cars and Sport Utility Vehicles - A Comparative Analytical Study
(2006)Analysis of real-world crash data from the USA shows that 11.5 per cent of pedestrians struck by large sport utility vehicles (SUVs) are killed, compared with 4.5 per cent of pedestrians struck by passenger cars. The ... -
Sports Utility Vehicles and vulnerable road users
(British Medical Journal, 2006)Two independent trends in the developed world are likely to reverse some of the hard won improvements that have been made in road safety. One is the ageing of the population; the other the increase in the use of sports ... -
Jet heat transfer in the vicinity of a rotating grinding wheel
(Professional Engineering Publishing, 2006)Impinging jets are known as a method of achieving high convective heat transfer coefficients. One potential application of impinging jet heat transfer is the air jet cooling of a grinding process. A grinding process ... -
Prediction of optimal mechanical properties for a scaffold used in osteochondral defect repair
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2006)The optimal mechanical properties of a scaffold to promote cartilage generation in osteochondral defects in vivo are not known. During normal daily activities cartilage is subjected to large cyclic loads that not only ... -
Characterization of a single 90-degrees 'UREAD' energy channel
(2006)Most engineering products are designed to either deliver or withstand a specific maximum force or level of energy. It is important however that the design of a struct ure or a machine incorporates an external or ... -
Analysis of tool cavity stresses in channel angular extrusion
(2006)The Channel Angular Extrusion (CAE) technique is a process, in which a deformable solid material is led to yielding through the intersection of inclined c hannels. Compared to classic plastic deformation, ... -
Biochemical Markers of the Mechanical Quality of Engineered Hyaline Cartilage
(Springer, 2007)The aim of this study was to determine whether or not biochemical markers can be used as surrogate measures for the mechanical quality of tissue engineered cartilage. The biochemical composition of tissue engineered ... -
Noise Source Identification For Ducted Fan Systems (AIAA 2007-3693)
(2007)Understanding combustion noise source mechanisms, designing efficient acoustic liners and optimising active control algorithms for noise reduction requires the identification of the frequency and modal content of the ... -
The influence of expansion rates on mandibular distraction osteogenesis: a computational analysis
(Springer, 2007)Mandibular distraction osteogenesis is a clinical procedure used for modifying the mandibular geometry when problems of dental overcrowding and arch shrinkage occur. The objective of this study is to use a computational ... -
Mechanobiology of embryonic limb development
(2007)Considerable evidence exists to support the hypothesis that mechanical forces have an essential role in healthy embryonic skeletal development. Clinical observations and experimental data indicate the importance of muscle ...
