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 ...
Experimental behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP shear straps
(American Society of Civil EngineersJournal of Composites for Construction (ASCE), 2007)
One promising means of increasing the capacity of existing shear-deficient beams is to strengthen the structure using external prestressed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps. In this system, layers of CFRP tape ...
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 ...
Supporting design planning through process model simulation
(University of CambridgeChurchill CollegeDepartment of Engineering, 2007-02-13)
Modelling and analysis of design processes is non-trivial and predicting the behaviour
of such systems is especially challenging. Nonetheless, the effective planning of design projects is critical for many engineering ...
CFRP prestressed concrete lighting columns
(American Concrete InstituteField Applications of FRP Reinforcement: Case Studies, 2003)
Modelling of friction stir welding
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2004-02)
This thesis investigates the modelling of friction stir welding (FSW). FSW is a relatively new welding process where a rotating non-consumable tool is used to join two materials through high temperature deformation. The ...
Efficient alternatives to the Ephraim and Malah suppression rule for audio signal enhancement
(EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing, 2003)
Audio signal enhancement often involves the application of a time-varying filter, or suppression rule, to the frequency-domain transform of a corrupted signal. Here we address suppression rules derived under a Gaussian ...
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 ...
A sensor for combustion thermometry based on blue diode lasers.
(University of CambridgeMagdalene College, 2006-05-23)
Spatially-resolved measurements of flame temperature have been demonstrated with diode lasers for the first time. The technique is based on the use of blue diode lasers to perform laser-induced fluorescence on indium atoms ...
