Objectively identifying spatial variability in bankfull stage
… for river management efforts related to the natural configuration of channel banks. Additionally, the results illustrate the role of variability in the hydrological complexity of channel-floodplain connectivity.

Constitutive modeling of glassy memory polymers
… is that a body can exist stress free in numerous natural configurations, the underlying natural configuration of the body changing during the process, with the response of the body being elastic from these evolving natural configurations. The aim of this research is to formulate a constitutive …

Constitutive modeling of the thermo-mechanics associated with crystallizable shape memory polymers
… polymers and is based on the theory of multiple natural configurations. Using the same frame work, the melting of the crystalline phase to capture the return of the polymer to its original shape is also modeled. The developed models are used to simulate a range of boundary value problems commonly …

Performance Optimisation of Dielectric Elastomer Generators
… ratio. In addition to the simple parallel-plate configuration, an annular DEG deforming out-of-plane has been analysed. In this configuration the generator is made up of an annular membrane constrained at the boundary by a rigid ring and at the centre by a rigid plate, on which an external force …
