Deformation and fracture of PMMA with application to nanofoaming and adhesive joints
(2019-10-26)This thesis contributes to the understanding of the deformation and fracture of methyl methacrylate (MMA)-based polymers in the context of void growth. The first part of the thesis focuses on the prediction of void growth ... -
The Mechanics of Layered Foam
(2019-10-31)This thesis contributes to the understanding of the mechanical response of layered and hybrid foam structures, such as the sandwich beam, and protective plates comprising foamed and solid materials. These materials may ... -
Broadband Noise Prediction of an Axial Compressor Operating at Low Reynolds Number
(2019-07-19)This thesis is an investigation into the production and prediction of broadband noise in axial compressors operating at low Reynolds number. The low Reynolds number (chord based $Re_C \leq 5\times 10^4$) regime presents ... -
Retrofitting of reinforced concrete beams with CFRP straps to enhance shear capacity
(2006-03-14)A technique has been developed that employs thin Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) straps for shear enhancement of reinforced concrete beams. Previous studies using these straps have employed steel pads on top of the ...
