  • Z-pinning techniques to improve energy absorption capabilities of CFRP tubular structures 
    Ramírez, J. G.; Ghasemnejad, Hessam (Springer, 2023-05-23)
    This paper investigates the use of z-pinning reinforcement in CFRP tubular structures under axial impact, to find the optimum design to increase the specific energy absorption (SEA). Through-the-thickness reinforcement is ...
  • The prospects of hydrogen in achieving net zero emissions by 2050: a critical review 
    Nnabuife, Godfrey Somtochukwu; Oko, Eni; Kuang, Boyu; Bello, Abdulrauf; Onwualu, Azikiwe Peter; Oyagha, Sherry; Whidborne, James (Elsevier, 2023-05-25)
    Hydrogen (H2) usage was 90 tnes (Mt) in 2020, almost entirely for industrial and refining uses and generated almost completely from fossil fuels, leading to nearly 900 Mt of carbon dioxide emissions. However, there has ...
  • Preliminary guidelines for the rotorcraft certification by simulation process: update no. 1, March 2023 
    Padfield, Gareth D.; vant' Hoff, Stefan; Lu, Linghai; Podzus, Philip; White, Mark; Quaranta, Giuseppe (Rotorcraft Certification by Simulation (RoCS), 2023-03)
    This document presents preliminary Guidance for the application of (rotorcraft) flight modelling and simulation in support of certification for compliance with standards CS-27 and CS-29, PART B (Flight) and other Flight ...
  • Flame radiation & smoke emissions in gas turbine combustors 
    Russell, D. T. (1969-09-19)
    The objective of this thesis was to investigate flame radiation and smoke emission phenomena in a combustor typical of those in use in aircraft gas turbine engines. One of the primary aspects of the investigation was ...
  • Structural design for passenger safety 
    Roots, Mark R. (1996-05)
    This thesis covers the design and analysis of a roll cage structure for use on a sports racing car. The method used to design and verify the roll structure was novel as small automotive companies tend to use evolution ...
