Computational analysis of fibre bonding in the through-air process. (2007)
Journal Article
HOSSAIN, M., ACAR, M. and MALALASEKERA, W. 2007. Computational analysis of fibre bonding in the through-air process. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, part E: journal of process mechanical engineering [online], 221(2), pages 69-75. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1243/0954408JPME104

Through-air bonding is one of the thermal methods of bonding fibres in the production of non-woven webs. A computational study of the formation of bond point between two bicomponent fibres during the through-air bonding process is reported in this pa...

Creep and the in vivo assessment of human patellar tendon mechanical properties. (2007)
Journal Article
PEARSON, S.J., BURGESS, K. and ONAMBELE, G.N.L. 2007. Creep and the in vivo assessment of human patellar tendon mechanical properties. Clinical biomechanics [online], 22(6), pages 712-717. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2007.02.006

Owing to the viscoelastic nature of tendons it may be that the total excursion and hence strain experienced by the tendon under load may be affected by the duration of contraction. Here we examine the effect of contraction duration on the measured in... Read More about Creep and the in vivo assessment of human patellar tendon mechanical properties..

Wind turbine maintenance optimisation: principles of quantitative maintenance optimisation. (2007)
Journal Article
ANDRAWUS, J.A., WATSON, J. and KISHK, M. 2007. Wind turbine maintenance optimisation: principles of quantitative maintenance optimisation. Wind engineering [online], 31(2), pages 101-110. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1260/030952407781494467

Maintenance optimisation is a crucial issue for industries that utilise physical assets due to its impact on costs, risks and performance. Current quantitative maintenance optimisation techniques include Modelling System Failures MSF (using monte-car...

Organized civil society and democratic legitimacy in the European Union. (2007)
Journal Article
GREENWOOD, J. 2007. Organized civil society and democratic legitimacy in the European Union. British journal of political science [online], 37(2), pages 333-357. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007123407000166

Structural limitations in models of representative democracy have enhanced the space for other mechanisms of legitimacy in the European Union, including participatory models in which organized civil society interests are significant players. To some... Read More about Organized civil society and democratic legitimacy in the European Union..

There are two complimentary parts to the Artis... Read More about Research papers: leading through practice..

The ethics of policy research. (2007)
Journal Article
SPICKER, P. 2007. The ethics of policy research. Evidence and policy: a journal of research, debate and practice [online], 3(1), pages 99-118. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1332/174426407779702148

Codes of ethics governing research in social science have tended to focus on the rights of participants in research. This focus is too narrow to be an effective guide for ethical policy research. Some typical problems concern the development of organ... Read More about The ethics of policy research..
