HAFLoop: An architecture for supporting highly adaptive feedback loops in self-adaptive systems
(Elsevier, 2020-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMost of the current self-adaptive systems (SASs) rely on static feedback loops such as the IBM’s MAPE-K loop for managing their adaptation process. Static loops do not allow SASs to react to runtime events such as changing ... -
Experimental and numerical assessment of local resonance phenomena in 3D-printed acoustic metamaterials
(2020-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe so called Locally Resonant Acoustic Metamaterials (LRAM) are a new kind of artificially engineered materials capable of attenuating acoustic waves. As the name suggests, this phenomenon occurs in the vicinity of internal ... -
Exponential stability in type II thermoviscoelasticity with voids
(2020-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper we consider the one-dimensional type II thermoviscoelastic theory with voids. We prove that generically we have exponential stability of the solutions. This is a striking fact if one compares it with the ... -
In-plane shear behaviour by diagonal compression testing of brick masonry walls strengthened with basalt and steel textile reinforced mortars
(Elsevier, 2020-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents an experimental study of the structural behaviour of masonry walls retrofitted with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) to improve their in-plane shear strength and deformation capacity. The experimental ... -
Nonintrusive proper generalised decomposition for parametrised incompressible flow problems in OpenFOAM
(2020-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe computational cost of parametric studies currently represents the major limitation to the application of simulation-based engineering techniques in a daily industrial environment. This work presents the first nonintrusive ... -
Constraint algorithm for singular field theories in the k-cosymplectic framework
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2020-03-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this paper is to develop a constraint algorithm for singular classical field theories in the framework of k-cosymplectic geometry. Since these field theories are singular, we need to introduce the notion of ... -
Synthetic open cell foams versus a healthy human vertebra: Anisotropy, fluid flow and µ-CT structural studies
(Elsevier, 2020-03-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCommercial synthetic open-cell foams are an alternative to human cadaveric bone to simulate in vitro different scenarios of bone infiltration properties. Unfortunately, these artificial foams do not reproduce the anisotropic ... -
Characterisation of efficiency losses in ground source heat pump systems equipped with a double parallel stage: a case study
(2020-03-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work focuses on methods to characterise the efficiency losses in existing ground-source heat pump (GSHP) installations under part-load conditions. Efficiency losses were identified and quantified in a GSHP by analysing ... -
Assessing the effectiveness of gamification in reducing domestic energy consumption: lessons learned from the EnerGAware project
(2020-03-01)
Article
Open AccessThe application of gamification to encourage energy conservation behaviour in house occupants is an emerging field of research. However, empirical evidence of its effectiveness is lacking. This paper presents lessons learnt ... -
Flight and passenger efficiency-fairness trade-off for ATFM delay assignment
(2020-03-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper studies trade-offs between efficiency (performance) and fairness (equity), when assigning ATFM delay pre-tactically (on-ground at origin airport) due to reduced airport capacity at destination. Delay is assigned ... -
