Rate and temperature dependent viscoelastic cohesive zone model for mode-idelamination of composites (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Introduction Initiation and propagation of delamination at room temperature and constant loading rates are modelled accurately by using bi-linear or exponential cohesive zone models (CZM) [1]. These "standard" traction-separation based models do not... Read More about Rate and temperature dependent viscoelastic cohesive zone model for mode-idelamination of composites.

Existence and smoothness of the Navier-Stokes equation using a Boundary Integral representation (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In the current study we determine existence and smoothness of the Navier-Stokes equation as described in the Millennium problem [1]. This considers an exterior space-time domain where the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation and continuity equation...

Surface condensation risk pre- and post-retrofit at suspended timber ground floors and external wall junctions (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Insulating below suspended timber ground floors affects heat transfer at the ground floor to external wall junction, which can affect the risk
of surface condensation occurring. In this project, we investigate the impact of installing mineral wool i... Read More about Surface condensation risk pre- and post-retrofit at suspended timber ground floors and external wall junctions.

The effect of brick properties on hygrothermal performance of solid walls (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

To construct buildings of the future that are both energy-efficient and moisture-resilient, it is critical to have an in-depth understanding of the varying characteristics of brick properties. This study sampled eight brick-cores taken from solid wal... Read More about The effect of brick properties on hygrothermal performance of solid walls.

Managing User Requirements in Social Housing Upgrading (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

User requirement management is essential to improve value generation in construction projects. Requirements management is also vital in the context of social housing upgrading/retrofit projects, as such projects generally involve a poor consideration...

Review of concepts for construction and demolition waste and the circular economy (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In order forconstruction and demolition waste (CDW)volumes, recovery targets and associated calculation rules to be quantified more accurately, it is critical that the types of CDW are classified andthatthe domains of the various ways in which... Read More about Review of concepts for construction and demolition waste and the circular economy.

Comparing Object Recognition Models and Studying Hyperparameter Selection for the Detection of Bolts (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The commonly-used method of bolting, used to secure parts of apparatus together, relies on the bolts having a sufficient preload force in order to the ensure mechanical strength. Failing to secure bolted connections to a suitable torque rating can ha... Read More about Comparing Object Recognition Models and Studying Hyperparameter Selection for the Detection of Bolts.

Harnessing NLP for enhanced extraction of functional neurological disorder (FND) terminologies from clinical reports (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a complex condition that presents significant diagnostic and management challenges for healthcare professionals. This study investigates the variability in FND terminology used across different professional g...
