Journal Article
Wootton, A. J., Day, C., & Haycock, P. W. (2022). Heterogeneous data fusion for the improved non-destructive detection of steel-reinforcement defects using echo state networks. Structural Health Monitoring, 21(6), 2910-2921. https://doi.org/10.1177/14759217221080718

The degradation of roads is an expensive problem: in the United Kingdom alone, £27 billion was spent on road repairs between 2013 and 2019. One potential cost-saver is the early, non-destructive detection of faults. There are many available technique...

Axisymmetric necking versus Treloar–Kearsley instability in a hyperelastic sheet under equibiaxial stretching (2022)
Journal Article
Fu. (2022). Axisymmetric necking versus Treloar–Kearsley instability in a hyperelastic sheet under equibiaxial stretching. Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, https://doi.org/10.1177/10812865211072897

We consider bifurcations from the homogeneous solution of a circular or square hyperelastic sheet that is subjected to equibiaxial stretching under either force- or displacement-controlled edge conditions. We derive the condition for axisymmetric nec... Read More about Axisymmetric necking versus Treloar–Kearsley instability in a hyperelastic sheet under equibiaxial stretching.

Stabilisation of exact coherent structures in two-dimensional turbulence using time-delayed feedback (2022)
Journal Article
Lucas, D., & Yasuda, T. (2022). Stabilisation of exact coherent structures in two-dimensional turbulence using time-delayed feedback. Physical Review Fluids, https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevFluids.7.014401

Time-delayed feedback control, attributed to Pyragas (1992 Physics Letters 170(6) 421-428), is a method known to stabilise periodic orbits in low dimensional chaotic dynamical systems. A system of the form $\dot{\mathbf{x}}(t)=f(\mathbf{x})$ has an a... Read More about Stabilisation of exact coherent structures in two-dimensional turbulence using time-delayed feedback.
