Effect of laminate configuration and feed rate on cutting performance when drilling holes in carbon fibre reinforced plastic composites (2010)
Journal Article
Shyha, I., Soo, S. L., Aspinwall, D., & Bradley, S. (2010). Effect of laminate configuration and feed rate on cutting performance when drilling holes in carbon fibre reinforced plastic composites. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 210(8), 1023-1

Composites use in the aerospace industry is expanding, in particular carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) for structural components. Machinability can however be problematic especially when drilling, due to CFRP's inherent anisotropy/in-homogeneit...

How can parents escape from recurrent poverty? (2010)
Report
McQuaid, R. W., Fuertes, V., & Richard, A. (2010). How can parents escape from recurrent poverty?. Edinburgh: Joseph Rowntree Foundation

This study explores why disadvantaged parents move into poverty and identifies the specific barriers to them escaping the cycle of low pay/no pay or recurrent poverty. It draws on information from interviews with parents and focus groups with profess... Read More about How can parents escape from recurrent poverty?.

Prediction of modal frequencies, modal shapes and static point load deflections of I-joist timber flooring systems using finite element method. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Weckendorf, J., Zhang, B., & Kermani, A. (2010). Prediction of modal frequencies, modal shapes and static point load deflections of I-joist timber flooring systems using finite element method. In Proceedings of the 10th World Conference on Timber Enginee

The vibrational behaviour of structural timber flooring systems can result in serviceability problems due to discomfort experienced by the occupants. However, the dynamic response of such structural systems cannot be easily determined by hand calcula...

Bounded rationality in hyperpath assignment: the locally rational traveller model. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., & Bell, M. G. H. (2010). Bounded rationality in hyperpath assignment: the locally rational traveller model. In Transportation Research Board 89th Annual Meeting compendium of papers DVD

The concepts of optimal strategy and hyperpath were introduced in the transport field under the paradigms of equilibrium and expected utility theory, which assume perfect rationality. The initial scope for hyperpaths was frequency-based transit assig... Read More about Bounded rationality in hyperpath assignment: the locally rational traveller model..
