Dynamic chirality and failure in structured materials with applications (2020)
Thesis
Garau, M. Dynamic chirality and failure in structured materials with applications. (Thesis). Keele University. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416588

We consider the vibration of two classes of discrete periodic systems and the resulting dynamic effects. We analyse elastic lattices connected to arrays of gyroscopic spinners, that confer chirality to the elastic system. It is shown in the time-harm...

Opposite Skew Left Braces and Applications (2020)
Journal Article
Koch, A., & Truman, P. (2020). Opposite Skew Left Braces and Applications. Journal of Algebra, 218-235. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jalgebra.2019.10.033

Given a skew left brace B, we introduce the notion of an \opposite" skew left brace B0, which is closely related to the concept of the opposite of a group, and provide several applications. Skew left braces are closely linked with both solutions to t... Read More about Opposite Skew Left Braces and Applications.

A Similarity Measure Based on Bidirectional Subsethood for Intervals (2020)
Journal Article
Kabir, S., Wagner, C., Havens, T. C., & Anderson, D. T. (2020). A Similarity Measure Based on Bidirectional Subsethood for Intervals. IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 28(11), 2890-2904. https://doi.org/10.1109/tfuzz.2019.2945249

With a growing number of areas leveraging interval-valued data-including in the context of modeling human uncertainty (e.g., in cybersecurity), the capacity to accurately and systematically compare intervals for reasoning and computation is increasin...

A second-order asymptotic model for Rayleigh waves on a linearly elastic half plane (2020)
Journal Article
Wootton, P. T., Prikazchikov, D., & Kaplunov, J. (2020). A second-order asymptotic model for Rayleigh waves on a linearly elastic half plane. IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics, 85(1), 113 - 131. https://doi.org/10.1093/imamat/hxz037

We derive a second-order correction to an existing leading-order model for surface waves in linear elasticity. The same hyperbolic–elliptic equation form is obtained with a correction term added to the surface boundary condition. The validity of the...

What Support do Systematic Reviews Provide for Evidence-informed Teaching about Software Engineering Practice? (2020)
Journal Article
Budgen, D., Brereton, P., Williams, N., & Drummond, S. (2020). What Support do Systematic Reviews Provide for Evidence-informed Teaching about Software Engineering Practice?. https://doi.org/10.37190/e-inf200101

Background: The adoption of the evidence-based research paradigm by software engineering researchers has created a growing knowledge base provided by the outcomes from systematic reviews.

Aim: We set out to identify and catalogue a sample of the k... Read More about What Support do Systematic Reviews Provide for Evidence-informed Teaching about Software Engineering Practice?.

Reduced model for the surface dynamics of a generally anisotropic elastic half-space (2020)
Journal Article
Prikazchikov, Kaplunov, & Fu. (2020). Reduced model for the surface dynamics of a generally anisotropic elastic half-space. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 20190590 - 20190590. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2019.0590

Near-surface resonance phenomena often arise in semi-infinite solids. For instance, when a moving load with a speed v close to the surface wave speed vR is applied to the surface of an elastic half-space, it will give rise to a large-amplitude distur...

Virtual reality versus conventional clinical role-play for radiographic positioning training: A students' perception study. (2020)
Journal Article
Sapkaroski, D., Mundy, M., & Dimmock, M. (2020). Virtual reality versus conventional clinical role-play for radiographic positioning training: A students' perception study. Radiography, 57 - 62. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2019.08.001

INTRODUCTION: Simulated learning environments (SLEs) are commonly utilised by educational institutions. The aim of this study was to assess if students perceptions varied relating to the effectiveness of either a virtual reality (VR) simulation or tr...

Weakly nonlinear analysis of localized bulging of an inflated hyperelastic tube of arbitrary wall thickness (2020)
Journal Article
Fu. (2020). Weakly nonlinear analysis of localized bulging of an inflated hyperelastic tube of arbitrary wall thickness. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 103804 - 103804. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2019.103804

A weakly nonlinear analysis is conducted for localized bulging of an inflated hyperelastic cylindrical tube of arbitrary wall thickness. Analytical expressions are obtained for the coefficients in the amplitude equation despite the fact that the prim...

Dynamic Mode III interfacial fracture in a dissimilar square-cell lattice, composed of two contrasting mass-spring lattice half-planes joined at an interface, is considered. The fracture, driven by a remotely applied load, is assumed to propagate at... Read More about Dynamic phenomena and crack propagation in dissimilar elastic lattices.
