Development of fractal asperity microstructures and their effects on frictional properties

Hierarchical structures exhibiting self-affinity are abundant in nature. We seek to characterise how the evolution of such self-affine topographies is governed by microstructural pa more...

Subdivided electrodes to improve defibrillators and physiological measurements

Current defibrillators and physiological monitors (EEG, ECG etc) are limited by variations in contact impedance. This makes measurements difficult during movement of the subjec more...

Crushable granular flows

In both earthquakes and landslides, grains are often crushed during flow. This changes the flowing behaviour, and causes the flow to accelerate. This project will develop an experim more...
