Necking of a hyperelastic solid cylinder under axial stretching: Evaluation of the infinite-length approximation (2021)
Journal Article
Fu. (2021). Necking of a hyperelastic solid cylinder under axial stretching: Evaluation of the infinite-length approximation. International Journal of Engineering Science, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijengsci.2020.103432

A weakly nonlinear analysis is conducted for localized necking of a hyperelastic solid cylinder under axial stretching based on the exact theory of nonlinear elasticity. The amplitude equation derived is shown to be consistent with the one-dimensiona...

Necking, Beading, and Bulging in Soft Elastic Cylinders (2021)
Journal Article
Fu. (2021). Necking, Beading, and Bulging in Soft Elastic Cylinders. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2020.104250

Due to surface tension, a beading instability takes place in a long enough fluid column that results in the breakup of the column and the formation of smaller packets with the same overall volume but a smaller surface area. Similarly, a soft elastic... Read More about Necking, Beading, and Bulging in Soft Elastic Cylinders.

Directional Control of Rayleigh Wave Propagation in an Elastic Lattice by Gyroscopic Effects (2021)
Journal Article
Nieves, M., Carta, G., Pagneux, V., & Brun, M. (2021). Directional Control of Rayleigh Wave Propagation in an Elastic Lattice by Gyroscopic Effects. Frontiers in Materials, https://doi.org/10.3389/fmats.2020.602960

<jats:p>We discuss the propagation of Rayleigh waves at the boundary of a semi-infinite elastic lattice connected to a system of gyroscopic spinners. We present the derivation of the analytical solution of the equations governing the system when the...

Antiplane shear of an asymmetric sandwich plate (2021)
Journal Article
Prikazchikova, L., Kaplunov, J., & Alkinidri, M. (2021). Antiplane shear of an asymmetric sandwich plate. Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics, 33, 1247–1262. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00161-021-00969-6

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>An asymmetric three-layered laminate with prescribed stresses along the faces is considered. The outer layers are assumed to be much stiffer than the inner one. The focus is on long-wave low-frequency anti-pla... Read More about Antiplane shear of an asymmetric sandwich plate.

The Internet of Things in Ports: Six Key Security and Governance Challenges for the UK (Policy Brief) (2021)
Report
Lesniewska, F., D Ani, U., M Watson, J., & Carr, M. The Internet of Things in Ports: Six Key Security and Governance Challenges for the UK (Policy Brief). PETRAS

In January 2019, the UK Government published its Maritime 2050 on Navigating the Future strategy. In the strategy, the government highlighted the importance of digitalization (with well-designed regulatory support) to achieve its goal of ensuring tha...

Towards Estimation of Emotions From Eye Pupillometry With Low-Cost Devices (2021)
Journal Article
Rafique, S., Fleury, M., Kanwal, N., Karamat, I., & Asghar, M. (2021). Towards Estimation of Emotions From Eye Pupillometry With Low-Cost Devices. IEEE Access, 5354 - 5370. https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2020.3048311

Emotional care is important for some patients and their caregivers. Within a clinical or home care situation, technology can be employed to remotely monitor the emotional response of such people. This paper considers pupillometry as a non-invasive wa... Read More about Towards Estimation of Emotions From Eye Pupillometry With Low-Cost Devices.

Automated measurements of morphological parameters of muscles and tendons (2021)
Journal Article
Jabbar, S. I., Day, C., & Chadwick, E. (2021). Automated measurements of morphological parameters of muscles and tendons. Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express, 7(2), 025002. https://doi.org/10.1088/2057-1976/abd3de

Capturing accurate representations of musculoskeletal system morphology is a core aspect of musculoskeletal modelling of the upper limb. Measurements of important geometric parameters such as the thickness of muscles and tendons are key descriptors o...
