Vibrations and elastic waves in chiral multi-structures (2018)
Journal Article
Nieves, M., Carta, G., Jones, I., Movchan, A., & Movchan, N. (2018). Vibrations and elastic waves in chiral multi-structures. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 387-408. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2018.07.020

We develop a new asymptotic model of the dynamic interaction between an elastic structure and a system of gyroscopic spinners that make the overall multi-structure chiral. An important result is the derivation and analysis of effective chiral boundar... Read More about Vibrations and elastic waves in chiral multi-structures.

Dispersion of elastic waves in a layer interacting with a Winkler foundation (2018)
Journal Article
Kaplunov. (2018). Dispersion of elastic waves in a layer interacting with a Winkler foundation. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, https://doi.org/10.1121/1.5079640

ABSTRACT
Dispersion of plane harmonic waves in an elastic layer interacting with a one- or two-sided Winkler foundation is analyzed. The long-wave low-frequency polynomial approximations of the full transcendental dispersion relations are derived fo...

Harmonizing semantic annotations for computational models in biology (2018)
Journal Article
Misirli. (2018). Harmonizing semantic annotations for computational models in biology. Briefings in bioinformatics, bby087 - bby087. https://doi.org/10.1093/bib/bby087

Life science researchers use computational models to articulate and test hypotheses about the behavior of biological systems. Semantic annotation is a critical component for enhancing the interoperability and reusability of such models as well as for...

Student Centred Design of a Learning Analytics System (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
De Quincey, E., Briggs, C., Kyriacou, T., & Waller, R. (2019, March). Student Centred Design of a Learning Analytics System. Presented at 9th International Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK19), Tempe, Arizona

Current Learning Analytics (LA) systems are primarily designed with University staff members as the target audience; very few are aimed at students, with almost none being developed with direct student involvement and undertaking a comprehensive eval...

Design of a chiral elastic structure supporting interfacial waveforms (2018)
Journal Article
Nieves, M., Garau, M., Carta, G., Jones, I., Movchan, N., & Movchan, A. (2018). Design of a chiral elastic structure supporting interfacial waveforms. https://doi.org/10.1109/MetaMaterials.2018.8534138

An infinite heterogeneous elastic triangular lattice connected to a non-uniform array of gyroscopic spinners is considered. An algorithm is described for generating interfacial waves that propagate along the boundaries of subdomains containing inhomo...

The Usability of E-learning Platforms in Higher Education: A Systematic Mapping Study (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abuhlfaia, K., & de Quincey, E. (2018, July). The Usability of E-learning Platforms in Higher Education: A Systematic Mapping Study. Presented at BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT (ACM Proceedings) 32nd Human Computer Interaction Conference, Belfast

The use of e-learning in higher education has increased significantly in recent years, which has led to several studies being conducted to investigate the usability of the platforms that support it. A variety of different usability evaluation methods... Read More about The Usability of E-learning Platforms in Higher Education: A Systematic Mapping Study.

Environmental pleiotropy and demographic history direct adaptation under antibiotic selection (2018)
Journal Article
Channon. (2018). Environmental pleiotropy and demographic history direct adaptation under antibiotic selection. Heredity, 438-448. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41437-018-0137-3

Evolutionary rescue following environmental change requires mutations permitting population growth in the new environment. If change is severe enough to prevent most of the population reproducing, rescue becomes reliant on mutations already present....

Asymptotic strategy for matching homogenized structures. Conductivity problem (2018)
Journal Article
Kolpakov, A. G., Andrianov, I. V., & Prikazchikov, D. A. (2018). Asymptotic strategy for matching homogenized structures. Conductivity problem. Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, 71(4), 519-535. https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmam/hby017

The paper is concerned with application of the homogenization theory to bodies containing macroinhomogeneities or bodies, parts of which cannot be homogenized (partial homogenization). This situation arises, in particular, for problems of joining hom... Read More about Asymptotic strategy for matching homogenized structures. Conductivity problem.

Low-frequency vibrations of strongly inhomogeneous multicomponent elastic structures (2018)
Thesis
Sergushova, O. Low-frequency vibrations of strongly inhomogeneous multicomponent elastic structures. (Thesis). Keele University. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/412021

The thesis deals with 1D and 2D scalar equations governing dynamic behaviour of strongly inhomogeneous layered structures. Harmonic vibrations of a composite rod and antiplane shear motions of a cylindrical body consisting of several components are s...
