The Nuisance of the Proprietary Interest : Lord Cooke's Dissent in Hunter v Canary Wharf Ltd [1997] AC 655
(Wildy, Simmons and Hill, 2012)Argues why the dissenting opinion on Lord Cooke in the case of Hunter was preferable to the majority's decision. The chapter also argues how the tort of nuisance could develop in order to take full account of the impact ... -
Numeric Comparison of the Static Mechanical Behavior between ProFile GT and ProFile GT Series X Rotary Nickel-Titanium Files
(2011-08)Introduction: This article aims to evaluate how different superelastic nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys determine the static mechanical performance of endodontic files during bending and torsion. Methods: Two NiTi rotary ... -

Numerical and experimental investigations into protection net icing at the helicopter engine inlet
(2021-11-30)The ice shapes of the protection net at different times are firstly simulated by a 2D icing calculation, then the porous media parameters are calculated based on the 2D ice shapes. Afterwards, a three-dimensional (3D) flow ... -
A Numerical Approach for Calculation of Characteristics of Edge Waves in Three-Dimensional Plates
(2020-09-19)Surface waves have been extensively studied in earthquake seismology. Surface waves are trapped near an infinitely large surface. The displacements decay exponentially with depth. These waves are also named Rayleigh and ... -
Numerical determination of plastic collapse loads for sections under concentrated transverse forces
(2017-09-13)Structural steel design codes generally use design methods requiring the determination of two key reference loads: (i) the plastic collapse load and (ii) the elastic buckling load. Using these two key reference loads, the ... -
The Numerical Inversion of the Laplace Transform in a Multi-Precision Environment.
(2022-05-23)This paper examines the performance of five algorithms for numerically inverting the Laplace transform, in standard, 16-digit and multi-precision environments. The algorithms are taken from three of the four main classes ... -
A numerical investigation of heat transfer in phase change materials (PCMs) embedded in porous metals
