A coarse-grained spectral signature generator (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lam, K., Austin, J., & Day, C. (2007, May). A coarse-grained spectral signature generator. Presented at Eighth International Conference on Quality Control by Artificial Vision, Le Creusot, France

This paper investigates the method for object fingerprinting in the context of element specific x-ray imaging. In particular, the use of spectral descriptors that are illumination invariant and viewpoint independent for pattern identification was exa...

Time series analysis of homoclinic nonlinear systems using a wavelet transform method (2004)
Journal Article
Austin, J. C., & Healey, J. J. (2004). Time series analysis of homoclinic nonlinear systems using a wavelet transform method. Fluid Dynamics Research, 34(6), Article 401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fluiddyn.2004.03.002

Homoclinic (and heteroclinic) trajectories are closed paths in phase space that connect one or more saddle points. They play an important role in the study of dynamical systems and are associated with the creation/destruction of limit cycles as a par...

X-ray images of defect formation in porcelain ceramics during drying (2003)
Journal Article
Potter, A., Austin, J., Ormerod, R., Haycock, P., Heywood, B., & George, S. (2003). X-ray images of defect formation in porcelain ceramics during drying. NDT and E International, 36(2), 77-83. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0963-8695%2802%2900088-9

The drying phase during the manufacture of ceramic pieces is often the point of failure owing to the formation of cracks. In this study, non-destructive microfocus X-ray imaging has been employed to study the onset of cracking in porcelain and correl...

Ceramic fuel cells to replace metal burners (2001)
Journal Article
Kendall, K., Finnerty, C., Austin, J., & Alston, T. (2001). Ceramic fuel cells to replace metal burners. Journal of Materials Science, 36, 1119–1124. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1004869522984

Global warming is thought to result from emissions largely caused by combustion reactions. Designs of burners and specifications of their materials are therefore of primary importance in restraining the warming phenomena. This paper proposes a new ty...
