Acoustic wave propagation in permeable lossy metamaterials (2022)
Journal Article
Venegas, R., Núñez, G., Boutin, C., Umnova, O., & Zhang, Q. (2022). Acoustic wave propagation in permeable lossy metamaterials. Physics of Fluids, 34(1), 017117. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0077342

This paper investigates acoustic wave propagation in gas-saturated permeable lossy metamaterials, which have different types of resonators, namely, acoustic and elastic resonators, as building-block elements. By using the two-scale asymptotic homogen... Read More about Acoustic wave propagation in permeable lossy metamaterials.

Development of a management framework to improve the building services engineering design process; a case study of engineering management in an Irish consultancy practice (2022)
Thesis
Reilly, R. (in press). Development of a management framework to improve the building services engineering design process; a case study of engineering management in an Irish consultancy practice. (Thesis). University of Salford

The building services engineering (BSE) design process is a major source of problems at construction stage, even to the extent of undermining systematic management. Managerial practitioners have wrestled with this productivity gap for many years, and...
