Sir James Lighthill and modern fluid mechanics: a memorial tribute
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 22, Issue 4, Page 667-688, 1999., 1999 This memorial tribute commemorates Sir James Lighthill the man and the mathematical scientist. A brief biographical information is presented with my personal reminiscences. His major contributions to fluid mechanics with special reference to nonlinear dispersive waves are discussed. By any standards, his legacy of research and publications of six books

Buckling analysis, design and optimisation of variable-stiffness sandwich panels [PDF]
, 2016 In recent years variable-stiffness (VS) technology has been shown to offer significant potential weight savings and/or performance gains for both monolithic and stiffened plate structures when buckling is a driving consideration.

A physically stabilized and locking-free formulation of the (SHB8PS) solid-shell element [PDF]
, 2007 In this work, the formulation of the SHB8PS finite element is reviewed in order to eliminate some persistent membrane and shear locking phenomena. This is a solid-shell element based on a purely three-dimensional formulation.

Glassy phases in Random Heteropolymers with correlated sequences
, 2004 We develop a new analytic approach for the study of lattice heteropolymers, and apply it to copolymers with correlated Markovian sequences. According to our analysis, heteropolymers present three different dense phases depending upon the temperature, the

Assessment of reduced-order models in analysis of Floquet modes in an infinite periodic elastic layer [PDF]
, 2019 A hierarchy of reduced-order models of wave propagation in a periodic elastic layer is used to study the periodicity-induced stop-band effects. At each approximation level, the eigenfrequency problem for a unit symmetric periodicity cell with appropriate
