Attari, Y. (author), Prendergast, Luke (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author)In recent years, the international demand to produce green energy has been growing to address the issues of energy security and climate change. To date, wind technology has presented most maturity due to high availability of wind resources. Erecting wind turbines offshore, however, presents significant new engineering challenges. Offshore...conference paper 2016

Prendergast, Luke (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Hester, David (author)Vibration-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an area of ongoing research and has received much attention from researchers in recent years. Online damage detection methods for bridges rely on placing sensors on the structure to detect anomalies in measured parameters such as acceleration, frequency or displacement among others. Changes...conference paper 2016

Stipanović Oslaković, Irina (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Kovacevic, Meho Sasa (author)European rail infrastructure managers (IMs) are managing aging rail infrastructure with 95% of the network having been built before 1914. EU transport policy provides the challenge to IMs to increase the productivity of existing rail networks, prioritise renewal and optimise new sections to reduce bottlenecks, increase productivity and achieve a...conference paper 2016

Martinović, Karlo (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Reale, Cormac (author)Earthworks such as cuttings and embankments account for a major part of the entire transport network infrastructure. Large parts of that infrastructure in Europe are susceptible to a range of geohazards, landslides being the most prevalent. These landslides frequently result in direct damage to assets, deaths and injuries, while indirectly also...conference paper 2016

Geevers, Sjoerd (author), van der Vegt, Jaap (author), Mulder, W.A. (author)We present and analyse a Symmetric Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin (SIPDG) method combined with an explicit hybrid Local Time Stepping (LTS) scheme for solving seismic wave problems in heterogeneous anisotropic elastic media. The discontinuous Galerkin method allows for local adjustment of the mesh size and approximation order, and can...abstract 2016

Musa, Z.N. (author), Popescu, Ioana I. (author), Mynett, A.E. (author)Compared to coastal areas, river deltas which are located in coastal zone, have complex morphologies, because river waters and sediments are transported through the deltas into the sea. A delta can have many elements included, such as barrier islands, multiple estuaries, sand beaches, or mud coasts. It can be crisscrossed by rivers emanating...journal article 2016

Kenjeres, S. (author)In the present paper we give a concise review of some recent highlights of our research dealing with electromagnetic control of flow, mixing and heat transfer of electrically conductive or magnetized fluids. We apply a combination of state-of-art numerical (DNS and LES) and experimental (PIV and LIF) techniques to provide fundamental insights...journal article 2016

Panigyrakis, Phoebus I. (author)Architecture as a practice is bound to social, political, economic and material restrictions. It is only as a cultural discourse that it may gain autonomy, revolving around the question of what do the produced architectural forms actually mean for our contemporary setting as argued by architects, academics, critics/journalists, students or...conference paper 2016
