Elastodynamic contact analysis of a novel bioinspired auxetic cellular structure under low-velocity impact via a boundary element approach Open
Impact-contact events can significantly degrade structural integrity, making it important to evaluate how protective structures respond under such conditions. This study illustrates a novel boundary element method (BEM) for analysing the e…

Numerical investigation on the behaviour of concrete barriers subjected to vehicle impacts using modified K&C material model Open
Full-scale experimental crash tests are important to determine the occupant risk factors and understand barrier system behaviour in vehicle-barrier impacts. Due to the expensive and time-consuming nature of such crash tests, finite element…

Multi-objective bulk scale optimisation of an auxetic structure to enhance protection performance Open
This paper aims to optimise a bulk scale design of a novel auxetic structure, the hourglass structure (HGS), through a multi-objective optimisation model to improve its protection performance. A 3D numerical model of the HGS under an in-pl…

Auxetic Armour System for Protection Against Soil Blast Loading Open
Extreme loading threats arising from terrorism, war zones, natural disasters, and even accidents, require specialised protection in order to limit and prevent death and damage to infrastructure and vehicles. In particular, soil blast loadi…
