Inscribing the urban in technical objects (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Shayya, F. (2018, May). Inscribing the urban in technical objects. Presented at School of Environment, Education and Development PGR Conference, University of Manchester

How does military vehicular technology capture urban space? What kinds of associations hold armored vehicles, soldiers, and the urban together? And, how are the concerns of the military mediated through technology? This short talk attempts to answer... Read More about Inscribing the urban in technical objects.

Annoyance from wind turbine noise? Review of wind turbine noise studies of the last two decades (2018)
Presentation / Conference

A circular pneumatic muscle actuator (CPMA) inspired by human skeletal muscles (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Ibadi, A., Nefti-Meziani, S., & Davis, S. (2018, April). A circular pneumatic muscle actuator (CPMA) inspired by human skeletal muscles. Presented at RoboSoft 2018, Livorno, Italy

This paper illustrates the design, implementation and kinematics of a novel circular pneumatic muscle actuator (CPMA), inspired by the skeletal muscles of a human. The variation of the inner diameter of this actuator is a unique feature. Furthermore,... Read More about A circular pneumatic muscle actuator (CPMA) inspired by human skeletal muscles.

Vibro-electric transfer path analysis of a solid body electric guitar (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Elliott, A., Magill, J., & Kendrick, P. (2018, April). Vibro-electric transfer path analysis of a solid body electric guitar. Presented at Acoustics 2018, Cardiff, Wales

Solid bodied electric guitars typically employ one or more magnetic pickups attached to the guitar body in close proximity to the guitar strings. At low frequencies the amplitude of the vibrating string is typically far greater than vibrations transm... Read More about Vibro-electric transfer path analysis of a solid body electric guitar.

Building information modeling (BIM) in Malaysian construction industry : benefits and future challenges (2018)
