There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

Dynamics of structures

Damage analysis of interlaminar fracture specimens

This paper addresses the design and optimization of thermal actuators employed in a novel MEMS-based material testing system. The testing system is designed to measure the mechanical properties of a variety of materials/structures from thin films to one-dimensional structures, e.g. carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanowires (NWs). It includes a thermal actuator and a capacitive load sensor with a specimen in-between. The thermal actuator consists of a number of V-shaped beams anchored at both ends. It is capable of generating tens of milli-Newton force and a few micrometers displacement depending on the beams' angle and their number. Analytical expressions of the actuator thermomechanical response are derived and discussed. From these expressions, a number of design criteria are drawn and used to optimize the device response. The analytical predictions are compared with both finite element multiphysics analysis (FEA) and experiments. To demonstrate the actuator performance, polysilicon freestanding specimens cofabricated with the testing system are tested.

A thermal actuator for nanoscale in situ microscopy testing: design and characterization

Formulation, identification and use of interface models in the numerical analysis of composite delamination

A study of mixed-mode crack propagation in bending-based interlaminar fracture specimens is here presented. A numerical scheme to simulate full crack propagation is proposed which makes use of interface laws relating interlaminar stresses to displacement discontinuities along the plane of crack propagation. The relation between interface laws and mixed-mode failure loci in terms of critical energies is discussed and clarified. Numerical simulations are presented and compared with analytical and experimental results.
