  • Obsidian exchange networks and highland-lowland interaction in the Lesser Caucasus Borderlands 
    Erb-Satullo, Nathaniel L.; Rutter, Matilda; Frahm, Ellery; Jachvliani, Dimitri; Albert, Paul G.; Smith, Victoria C. (Elsevier, 2023-05-09)
    Obsidian sourcing studies have a long history in the Near East, but relatively few have focused on obsidian exchange after the Early Bronze Age. Here, we present a multi-technique analysis of an assemblage of 111 obsidian ...
  • Occupational limbo, transitional liminality, and permanent liminality: new conceptual distinctions 
    Bamber, Matthew; Allen-Collinson, Jacquelyn; McCormack, John (SAGE, 2017-06-12)
    This article contributes new theoretical perspectives and empirical findings to the conceptualization of occupational liminality. Here, we posit ‘occupational limbo’ as a state distinct from both transitional and permanent ...
  • Offset in a post-Brexit world 
    Matthews, Ron; Anicetti, Jonata (Taylor & Francis, 2022-01-06)
    Prior to the launch of the European Procurement Directive, the UK’s erstwhile offset model was hailed a success. However, the directive compelled the UK to abandon its approach as the intention of the European Commission ...
  • On differences in the equation-of-state for a selection of seven representative mammalian tissue analogue materials

    Tissue analogues employed for ballistic purposes are often monolithic in nature, e.g. ballistic gelatin and soap, etc. However, such constructs are not representative of real-world biological systems. Further, ethical ...
  • On the Characteristics of a Twin-Jet STOVL Fountain 
    Saddington, A. J.; Knowles, Kevin; Cabrita, P. M. (2015-03-03)
    The interaction of multiple jets with the ground is of great importance for the design and operation of short take-off, vertical landing aircraft. The fountain upwash flow, generated by the impingement of two ...

    Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Hazell, P. J.; Wilgeroth, J. M.; Shepherd, C. J.; Wood, D. C.; Roberts, A. (American Institute of Physics, 2011-12-31)
    Plate-impact experiments have been employed to investigate the dynamic response of three readily available tissue simulants for ballistic purposes: gelatin, ballistic soap (both subdermal tissue simulants), and lard ...
  • On the effects of powder morphology on the post-comminution ballistic strength of ceramics 
    Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Wood, D. C.; Hameed, Amer; Painter, Jonathan; Fitzmaurice, Brianna C. (Elsevier, 2016-10-29)
    In this paper in order to try and elucidate the effects of particle morphology on ballistic response of comminuted systems, a series of experiments were carried out via the use of powder compacts with differing initial ...
  • On the importance of the bullet jacket during the penetration process: reversed-ballistic experimental and numerical study 
    Lesmana, Denny; Arifurrahman, Faizal; Hameed, Amer; Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Santosa, Sigit P. (Springer Verlag, 2020-04-30)
    The behaviour of exposed and copper-jacketed 12.7 mm En8 steel cores impacting against 5 and 9 mm Armox Advance plates was investigated to determine the significance of the jacket during the penetration. The target plates ...
  • On the interpretation of lateral manganin gauge stress measurements in polymers 
    Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Hazell, P. J.; Wilgeroth, J. M.; Wood, D. C. (2010-09-17)
    Encapsulated wire-element stress gauges enable changes in lateral stress during shock loading to be directly monitored. However, there is substantial debate with regards to interpretation of observed changes in stress ...
