Beyond Snap-Fit: Optimizing the Lifting Capabilities of a Partial Cylindrical Shell
Grace K. Curtis, Ian M. Griffiths, Dominic Vella
The cylindrical snap-fit is a ubiquitous fastening method that is both simple to manufacture and assemble, and yet secure. It consists of a partial cylindrical shell that `snaps' o…

A homogenised model for dispersive transport and sorption in a heterogeneous porous medium
Lucy C Auton, Mohit P. Dalwadi, Ian M. Griffiths
When a fluid carrying a passive solute flows quickly through porous media, three key macroscale transport mechanisms occur. These mechanisms are diffusion, advection and dispersion…
