Uptake induced swelling and thermal expansion of CFRP tendons
(Institute of Civil EngineersProceedings of ICE, Structures and Buildings, 2009)
Carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons can be used as a corrosion-resistant alternative to steel for reinforcing or prestressing concrete in aggressive marine environments. The design lives of many civil marine ...
Efficient CFRP strap configurations for the shear strengthening of RC T-beams
(American Society of Civil EngineersASCE Journal of Composites for Construction, 2009)
A prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strap retrofitting system has been found to significantly enhance the shear capacity of existing reinforced concrete beams. In previous studies, the CFRP straps were ...
Contact and channel modelling to support the early design of technical systems
(Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Engineering Design' ICED'09, Vol 5: Design Methods and Tools, Part 1Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Engineering Design' ICED'09, Vol 5: Design Methods and Tools, Part 1, 2009-08-24)
The early design of mechanical systems is critical because it constrains options later in the design process. In this early stage of the design process, designers must consider customer requirements, how they are related ...

Trends in modeling Biomedical Complex Systems
(2009-10-15)
Abstract In this paper we provide an introduction to the techniques for multi-scale complex biological systems, from the single bio-molecule to the cell, combining theoretical modeling, experiments, informatics tools and ...
Multistable and morphing corrugated shell structures
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringChrist's College, 2009-06-09)
'Compliant' structures, i. e., structures that undergo large deformations as part of their
normal behaviour, can perform the function of a complex mechanism with just a single,
or very few, components. When multistability ...
BayesPeak: Bayesian analysis of ChIP-seq data
(2009-09-21)
Abstract Background High-throughput sequencing technology has become popular and widely used to study protein and DNA interactions. Chromatin immunoprecipitation, followed by sequencing of the resulting samples, produces ...
R/BHC: fast Bayesian hierarchical clustering for microarray data
(BMC Bioinformatics 2009, 2009-08-06)
Abstract Background Although the use of clustering methods has rapidly become one of the standard computational approaches in the literature of microarray gene expression data analysis, little attention has been paid to ...
Modelling of an unbonded CFRP strap shear retrofitting system for RC beams
(American Society of Civil EngineersASCE Journal of Composites for Construction, 2009)
A retrofitting technique has been developed that uses carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps to increase the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams. The vertical straps are not bonded to the beam but are instead ...
