The second virial coefficient, B 2 is computed of linear rigid rods composed of m equally spaced sites interacting with sites on other rods via the hard-sphere or Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) pair potentials. The dependence of B 2 on a wide ran... Read More about Second virial coefficient of rod-shaped molecules and molecular dynamics simulations of the isotropic phase.

Modelling of cutting fibrous composite materials: current practice (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kahwash, F., Shyha, I., & Maheri, A. (2014, June). Modelling of cutting fibrous composite materials: current practice. Presented at 3rd CIRP Global Web Conference, Naples, Italy

Using fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) is increasing across many industries. Although FRP are laid-up in the near-net shape, several cutting operations are necessary to meet quality and dimensional requirements. Modelling of cutting is essential to un...

The role of population inertia in predicting the outcome of stage-structured biological invasions (2015)
Journal Article
Guiver, C., Dreiwi, H., Filannino, D. M., Hodgson, D., Lloyd, S., & Townley, S. (2015). The role of population inertia in predicting the outcome of stage-structured biological invasions. Mathematical Biosciences, 265, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mbs.2015.04.005

Deterministic dynamic models for coupled resident and invader populations are considered with the purpose of finding quantities that are effective at predicting when the invasive population will become established asymptotically. A key feature of the... Read More about The role of population inertia in predicting the outcome of stage-structured biological invasions.

A Task Taxonomy for Temporal Graph Visualisation (2015)
Journal Article
Kerracher, N., Kennedy, J., & Chalmers, K. (2015). A Task Taxonomy for Temporal Graph Visualisation. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 21(10), 1160-1172. https://doi.org/10.1109/tvcg.2015.2424889

By extending and instantiating an existing formal task framework, we define a task taxonomy and task design space for temporal graph visualisation. We discuss the process involved in their generation, and describe how the design space can be ‘sliced... Read More about A Task Taxonomy for Temporal Graph Visualisation.

Optimization of cross-section of actively bent grid shells with strength and geometric compatibility constraints (2015)
Journal Article
