A Comparative Study of Methods for Modelling the Structural Stiffness of Generator Components (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaen-Sola, P., & Mcdonald, A. (2016, April). A Comparative Study of Methods for Modelling the Structural Stiffness of Generator Components. Presented at 8th IET International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD 2016), Glasgow, UK

Direct-drive generators are low speed electrical machines requiring robust and large supporting structures designed to resist the significant loads present during assembly and operation. Generator structures have to be stiff, especially in the radial... Read More about A Comparative Study of Methods for Modelling the Structural Stiffness of Generator Components.

Understanding the mechanisms of restoration of activity in biological neural systems following exposure to damage is key for design of future neuro-prosthetic devices and restorative treatments. The pyloric rhythm network within the crustacean stomat... Read More about Modelling the restoration of activity in a biological neural network.

Port governance in the UK: Planning without policy (2016)
Journal Article
Monios, J. (2017). Port governance in the UK: Planning without policy. Research in Transportation Business & Management, 22, 78-88. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rtbm.2016.10.006

The UK's highly privatised port system means that, while many of the issues in the port governance literature relevant to port concessions do not arise here, the respective roles of harbour authorities and port operators continue to be questioned. Th... Read More about Port governance in the UK: Planning without policy.

Racking performance of Platform timber framed walls assessed by rigid body relaxation technique (2016)
Journal Article
D 'Amico, B., Kermani, A., Porteous, J., Dhonju, R., & Zhang, B. (2016). Racking performance of Platform timber framed walls assessed by rigid body relaxation technique. Construction and Building Materials, 129, 148-158. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuild

A new method to assess the raking performance of Platform timber framed walls, is provided in this study: each component of the unit wall assembly is assumed as rigid, hence allowing to drastically reduce the overall number of DoFs involved within th...
