Wilson, G. (author), Bhamra, T. (author), Lilley, D. (author)Energy use within the UK domestic sector is on the increase, causing significant environmental and social stresses. This increase in energy consumption is not only due to the rising proliferation of technological devices within the home, but also to their context of use, and the behaviours and habits attributed to and enacted through their...conference paper 2010

Fey, A.C. (author), Levine, L. (author), Wilson, D.B. (author)A popular theory of self-organized criticality predicts that the stationary density of the Abelian sandpile model equals the threshold density of the corresponding fixed-energy sandpile. We recently announced that this “density conjecture” is false when the underlying graph is any of Z2, the complete graph Kn, the Cayley tree, the ladder graph,...journal article 2010

Berg, D. (author), Wilson, D. (author), Resor, B. (author), Berg, J. (author), Barlas, J. (author), Crowther, A. (author), Halse, C. (author)Prior work on active aerodynamic load control (AALC) of wind turbine blades has demonstrated that appropriate use of this technology has the potential to yield significant reductions in blade loads, leading to a decrease in wind cost of energy. While the general concept of AALC is usually discussed in the context of multiple sensors and active...conference paper 2010

(author), Wilson, J.S. (author)Human activities exert global-scale impacts on our environment with significant implications for freshwater-driven services and hazards for humans and nature. Our approach to the science of hydrology needs to significantly change so that we can understand and predict these implications. Such an adjustment is a necessary prerequisite for the...journal article 2010

Fey, A. (author), Levine, L. (author), Wilson, D.B. (author)A popular theory of self-organized criticality relates driven dissipative systems to systems with conservation. This theory predicts that the stationary density of the Abelian sandpile model equals the threshold density of the fixed-energy sandpile. We refute this prediction for a wide variety of underlying graphs, including the square grid....journal article 2010

Wilson, M. (author)Due to the high availability demands placed on modern hardware systems and the high cost associated with downtime, finding and fixing faults in these systems is an important problem. Unfortunately, the complexity of these systems is very large, making this problem very difficult. While recent innovations in the field of model-based diagnosis...master thesis 2010

(author)This paper develops a system identification approach and procedure that is employed for distributed control system design for large wind turbine load reduction applications. The primary goal of the study is to identify the process that can be used with multiple sensor inputs of varying types (such as aerodynamic or structural) that can be used...conference paper 2010

(author)Active aerodynamic load control of wind turbine blades is being investigated by the wind energy research community and shows great promise, especially for reduction of turbine fatigue damage in blades and nearby components. For much of this work, full system aeroelastic codes have been used to simulate the operation of the actively controlled...conference paper 2010

Squibb, M.W. (author), Wilson, R.N. (author)This Report presents an evaluation of the fatigue, fracture resistance, corrosion and stress corrosion properties of a medium strength temper of the AI-Cu-Mg-Li alloy sheet 8090-T8 and a high strength temper of the AI-Cu-Li aHoy 2090-T8E. The 8090-T8 alloy is shown to exhibit a high degree of anisotropy, with tensile properties at a minimum at...report 1991

Kemp, R.M.J. (author), Wilson, R.N. (author), Gregson, P.J. (author)The fatigue crack growth rate properties of aluminium alloy plate material 8090 (Al-Li-Cu-Mg), 7010 (Al-Zn-Mg-Cu), and 2024 (Al-Cu-Mg) have been compared in air and salt water. Enhanced growth rates were observed in salt water for 7010 and 8090 but not for 2024. The enhancement in 7010 was due to corrosion fatigue, whereas in 8090 the...report 1991

Sutton, G.R. (author), Thomas, C.E. (author), Wheeler, C. (author), Wilson, R.N. (author)The feasibility of conducting R-curve tests on centre crack test pieces with length/width ratios below 1.5 has been investigated. To allow for the undefined mixed mode loading present with short, wide test pieces, two experimental methods of determining the geometrie correction for the stress intensity factor have been proposed and compared. An...report 1991

Two aged conditions of the alloy plate have been examined: the as-received, stretched and naturally aged alloy and the material fully aged to the BSL93 specification. Long transverse round bar test pieces were axially...report 1989
