School of Engineering seminar: Guided wave propagation in diagnostics of structures

Early detection of potential defects and identication of their location are necessary to ensure safe, reliable and long-term use of engineering structures. The guided wave-based damage detection methods have been dynamically developed over last years because of their ability to inspect large areas during a single measurement with a small number of...

RV Jones Distinguished Lecture Series: Some New Approaches to Sound Production

Given by Prof. Philip Nelson, Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) at the University of Southampton.

School of Engineering seminar: Studying the fracture process zone in a heterogeneous brittle material (polygranular nuclear graphite) by sychrotron X-ray diffraction, computed tomography and image correlation

Nuclear graphite is treated as a linear elastic material in engineering design; Graphite is, however, a heterogeneous quasi-brittle material, with non-linear mechanical behaviour, a rising fracture resistance curve with crack propagation (J-R curve), and also the development of a micro-cracked fracture process zone.  The fracture process zone is a key factor in the size effect of strength.   Small test...

School of Engineering seminar: Network-layer Fairness for Adaptive Video Streaming

Netflix, iPlayer, YouTube, and the like, are now the dominant sources of traffic on the Internet. Recent studies observe that competing adaptive video streaming applications generate flows that lead to instability, under-utilization, and unfairness in bottleneck link sharing within the network. Additional measurements suggest there may also be a negative...
