Abstract:
The increasing evidence of associations between sedentary behaviour and low levels of physical activity in adults and both immediate and long term health implications is of public health concern. There is a need to further our understanding of adult's health behaviours, to facilitate the development of behaviour change strategies promoting healthy behaviours. This thesis provides four independent but interlinked studies focusing on adult s sedentary behaviour and physical activity in the context of measurement and behaviour change.

Abstract:
Optimised design of textile composite structures based on computer simulation techniques requires an understanding of the deformation behaviour during forming of 3-dimensional double-curvature components. Purely predictive material models are highly desirable to facilitate an optimised design scheme and to significantly reduce time and cost at the design stage, such as experimental characterisation. In-plane shear and out-of-plane bending are usually thought to be the key forming mechanisms. Therefore, this thesis is concerned with studies of the shear and bending behaviour by experimental cha

It was found, for the first time, that stress has a small but significant effect on the fire reaction properties. Increasing tensile stress increased heat release rate and smoke production, while shortening the time-to-ignition. Compressive stress had the reverse effect. Thi
