Algorithmic design of origami mechanisms and tessellations
Origami is a promising source of inspiration in designing foldable structures and reconfigurable metamaterials. Here, building on exact folding kinematic conditions, an algorithmic design of rigidly-foldable origami structures is presented, allowing the ...

Industrial evaluation of design heuristics for additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM) has gained prominence over the last 15 years and become a viable manufacturing option. Since there is great industrial interest to implement serial production of products using AM, the education of engineers in design for ...

Phase field modelling of hopper crystal growth in alloys
Here we use phase field to model and simulate “hopper” crystals, so named because of their underlying cubic structure but with a hopper-like depression on each of the six faces.

Auxetic structures used in kinesiology tapes can improve form-fitting and personalization
Each year 65% of young athletes and 25% of physically active adults suffer from at least one musculoskeletal injury that prevents them from continuing with physical activity, negatively influencing their physical and mental well-being.

Computation Hierarchy for In-Network Processing [PDF]
In this paper, we explore the network level architecture of distributed sensor systems that perform in-network processing. We propose a system with heterogeneous nodes that organizes into a hierarchal structure dictated by the computational capabilities.

Information Processing, Computation, and Cognition [PDF]
Computation and information processing are among the most fundamental notions in cognitive science. They are also among the most imprecisely discussed. Many cognitive scientists take it for granted that cognition involves computation, information processing, or both - although others disagree vehemently.

Towards a Physically Consistent Phase-Field Model for Alloy Solidification
We give an overview of contributions made to the computational phase-field modelling of alloy solidification from the University of Leeds as part of the LiME project (EPSRC Advanced Manufacturing Hub in Liquid Metal Engineering).

Energy-Efficient Post-Failure Reconfiguration of Swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
In this paper, the reconfiguration of swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles after simultaneous failures of multiple nodes is considered. The objectives of the post-failure reconfiguration are to provide collision avoidance and smooth energy-efficient ...
