Requirements capture for inclusive design resources and tools (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dong, H., Clarkson, P. J., & Keates, S. (2004, July). Requirements capture for inclusive design resources and tools. Presented at ASME 7th Biennial Conference on Engineering Systems Design and Analysis, Manchester, England

In the past twenty years, a number of resources and tools to support inclusive design have been developed. However, the impact of these resources and tools on industry is not evident — few industrialists have been using them in practice. Investigatio...

Industry perceptions to inclusive design: A comparative study (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dong, H., Clarkson, P. J., & Keates, S. (2004, September). Industry perceptions to inclusive design: A comparative study. Presented at International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference: 2nd Symposium on International Issues in Engineering Design, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

Despite increasing discussions on the topic in academia, truly inclusive design in industry remains the exception. This paper compares industry perceptions to inclusive design based on data collected from the UK, the US and Japan. Two comparisons are...

Stress-laminated arches: a stronger case for timber bridges (2004)
Journal Article
Freedman, G., & Kermani, A. (2004). Stress-laminated arches: a stronger case for timber bridges. Proceedings of the ICE - Civil Engineering, 157(4), 172-178. https://doi.org/10.1680/cien.157.4.172.52081

Timber bridges have been around for a long time but are still viewed with suspicion by design engineers and the public alike. Though not as durable or strong as steel and concrete, timber is nevertheless a sustainable material in plentiful supply and...

Assessment of errors induced by the anomalous dispersion of high frequency shear waves in rheometrical measurements on gelling systems (2004)
Journal Article
Jones, R., Ravji, S., Hawkins, K., Al-Hussany, A., Williams, P., & Williams, R. (2004). Assessment of errors induced by the anomalous dispersion of high frequency shear waves in rheometrical measurements on gelling systems. Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 124(1-3), 11-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnnfm.2004.07.007

The principal objectives of the work reported in this paper were two-fold. Firstly, to assess, by means of the numerical simulation of transverse wave propagation within a linear viscoelastic medium, the degree to which wavegroup propagation involvin...

On the penetration of tubular drill pipes in horizontal oil wells (2004)
Journal Article
McCourt, I., Truslove, T., & Kubie, J. (2004). On the penetration of tubular drill pipes in horizontal oil wells. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 218(9), 1063-1081. https://doi.org/10.1243/0954406041991233

To carry out remedial work in oil wells through the production tubing string, a method using a continuous length of steel tubing or coiled tubing is used. Furthermore, coiled tubing can also be used for drilling and extending existing wells. In horiz... Read More about On the penetration of tubular drill pipes in horizontal oil wells.

Natural sway frequencies and damping ratios of trees: concepts, review and synthesis of previous studies (2004)
Journal Article
Moore, J. R., & Maguire, D. A. (2004). Natural sway frequencies and damping ratios of trees: concepts, review and synthesis of previous studies. Trees - Structure and Function, 18(2), 195-203. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00468-003-0295-6

Previous studies that measured the natural frequencies and damping ratios of conifer trees were reviewed and results synthesized. Analysis of natural frequency measurements from 602 trees, belonging to eight different species, showed that natural fre...

The use of organo alkoxysilane coupling agents for wood preservation (2004)
Journal Article
Hill, C. A. S., Farahani, M. R. M., & Hale, M. D. C. (2004). The use of organo alkoxysilane coupling agents for wood preservation. Holzforschung, 58(3), 316-325. https://doi.org/10.1515/HF.2004.049

Corsican pine (Pinus nigra) sapwood was treated with methanolic solutions of two organo alkoxysilanes ([γ-(methacryloxy)propylx] trimethoxy silane (TMPS), or vinyl trimethoxy silane (VTMS)). Various treatment parameters were studied in order to deter... Read More about The use of organo alkoxysilane coupling agents for wood preservation.

Constraint neuro-model based predictive control (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Soufian, M., Rahman, A. A., Soufian, M., & Mokbe, A. A. (2002, December). Constraint neuro-model based predictive control. Presented at 4th International Conference on Recent Advances in Soft Computing, Nottingham, England

Constraints are always present in the real life process. Control of processes without considering the constraints can lead to sub-optimal behaviour and may result in instability and violation of safety. Lack of a solid and applicable closed loop cont...
