A new perspective on the flame describing function of a matrix flame (2015)
Journal Article
Heckl. (2015). A new perspective on the flame describing function of a matrix flame. International Journal of Spray and Combustion Dynamics, 91 - 112. https://doi.org/10.1260/1756-8277.7.2.91

This paper considers a fundamental thermoacoustic test rig developed by Noiray (“Linear and nonlinear analysis of combustion instabilities, application to multipoint injection systems and control strategies”, PhD thesis, École Centrale Paris, 2007) a...

The spreading and stability of a surfactant-laden drop on an inclined prewetted substrate (2015)
Journal Article
Naire. (2015). The spreading and stability of a surfactant-laden drop on an inclined prewetted substrate. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 5-24. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022112005008104

We consider a viscous drop, loaded with an insoluble surfactant, spreading over a flat plane that is covered initially with a thin liquid film. Lubrication theory allows the flow to be modelled using coupled nonlinear evolution equations for the film...

Multiprocessor speed scaling for jobs with arbitrary sizes and deadlines (2015)
Journal Article
Bell, P. C., & Wong, P. W. (2015). Multiprocessor speed scaling for jobs with arbitrary sizes and deadlines. Journal of Combinatorial Optimization, 29, 739 - 749. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10878-013-9618-8

In this paper we study energy efficient deadline scheduling on multiprocessors in which the processors consumes power at a rate of sa when running at speed s, where a=2. The problem is to dispatch jobs to processors and determine the speed and jobs t... Read More about Multiprocessor speed scaling for jobs with arbitrary sizes and deadlines.

On Tracking Spinal Disc Cells (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lam, K., & Richardson, J. On Tracking Spinal Disc Cells

This paper proposes the combined use of advanced texture based analytics and the Normalised Cross Correlation procedure to facilitate in vitro cells tracking with high-throughput time-lapsed video microscopy. The effectiveness of this technique was e... Read More about On Tracking Spinal Disc Cells.

On the 3D Rayleigh wave field on an elastic half-space subject to tangential surface loads (2015)
Journal Article
Ege, N., Erbaş, B., & Prikazchikov, D. (2015). On the 3D Rayleigh wave field on an elastic half-space subject to tangential surface loads. Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, 95(12), 1558-1565. https://doi.org/10.1002/zamm.201400211

This study is concerned with analysis of the Rayleigh wave field in a 3D isotropic elastic half-space subject to in-plane surface loading. The approach relies on the slow time perturbation of the general representation for the Rayleigh wave eigensolu...

A semi-analytical approach to Biot instability in a growing layer: Strain gradient correction, weakly non-linear analysis and imperfection sensitivity (2015)
Journal Article
Fu. (2015). A semi-analytical approach to Biot instability in a growing layer: Strain gradient correction, weakly non-linear analysis and imperfection sensitivity. International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 38 - 45. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2015.03.002

Many experimental works have recently investigated the dynamics of crease formation during the swelling of long soft slabs attached to a rigid substrate. Mechanically, the spatially constrained growth provokes a residual strain distribution inside th...
