Non-uniqueness and non-smooth solutions in the mechanics of fibre-reinforced elastic materials
-In this talk we study the finite deformation plane strain problem of azimuthal shear of a circular cylindrical tube of incompressible transversely isotropic elastic material. The preferred direction associated with the transverse isotropy lies in the plane under consideration and is disposed so as to preserve the cylindrical symmetry....

The dynamic behaviour of a rotor passing through critical speed

Dynamical systems problems in the modelling of highway traffic
-Most drivers will be familiar with stop-and-go waves in highway traffic: One is driving smoothly along the highway when for no apparent reason traffic snarls up for several minutes before flowing smoothly again.Despite a modelling history spanning over 50 years, the fundamental mechanisms which explain these and associated spatiotemporal patterns...

Using CFD to predict vortex induced vibration response of deep water marine riser pipes
- -
Applied dynamics of non-smooth systems
-Despite of a significant progress in deriving practical solutions for nonlinear problems with dry friction, fracture and fatigue, the fundamental understanding of their complex dynamics is far from the stage where we can harness their behaviour. This lecture will focus on modelling and experimental studies of three dynamical systems where...
