Item Open Access Interior Illuminations(Cranfield University, 2023-01-04T12:28:01Z) Mcgregor, JamieThis image was gained from placing the head of a common LED torch into a 610 Xradia Versa System with an overall scan time of ~90 hours. By using a single high-resolution scan, a full 3D digital volume of the torch has been made which allows for us to view its inner components without damaging the object. Through analysing the data, it becomes clear which features represent the battery, circuitry, springs, buttons and aluminium within the torch. My PhD is centred around using X-Ray data to identify the defects and elements within metallic alloys for benefit to the quality control and manufacture processes. The use of these systems is both extremely time consuming and resourcefully expensive; being able to gain robust data from a single scan is invaluable for future research and efficiency.Item Open Access Nuclear Power: Finding the missing piece(Cranfield University, 2022-11-22T14:40:32Z) Mirza, MateenThere is now a clear consensus that our energy demands must be met through lower carbon solutions. As our global population continues to rise and aspires to higher living standards we are faced with increasingly ambitious energy targets in the transport, industry and power sectors. Nuclear power remains one of the few reliable energy sources. However, there remains a missing piece to the puzzle. Whether this relates to spent nuclear fuel reprocessing, the ongoing issue of waste disposal or improving our fleet of nuclear reactor systems is left to the viewer's thoughts.Item Open Access Until Sniffer Dogs Can Talk: CRIM-TRACK(Cranfield University, 2022-11-22T14:39:37Z) Hardy, IonaThis image is a digitally drawn short comic highlighting the CRIM-TRACK sniffer, a device that utilises a colourimetric sensor system to detect illicit compounds by their vapour at sensitivity rivalling a sniffer dog, but with better discrimination. Both detection methods can detect multiple substances, but sniffer dogs cannot signal which substance they have found, whilst the CRIM-TRACK sniffer can. The research aims to contribute to developing the CRIM-TRACK sniffer device, specifically the disposable colourimetric microchips used. This is being carried out by investigating the colour change mechanisms of select dyes when they encounter illicit compounds such as illicit drugs, homemade explosives, and their precursor chemicals using common analytical techniques. This data will allow future generations of the microchip to be tuned via dye selection for specific scenarios.Item Open Access Visualising the Dispersion of Particles Within a Functionally Graded Material(Cranfield University, 2022-11-22T14:40:10Z) Powell, DanielFunctionally graded materials (FGMs) are designed to carefully alter material properties along a selected axis. This image shows FGMs created through mixing varying percentage volumes of high-density tungsten powder (in orange) with a low-viscosity epoxy (in white). Black regions show pores. As the epoxy cures the tungsten particles settle at various depths under gravity, notably in the 1%, 5% and 10% samples. Whilst there are multiple uses for FGMs, this research investigates if they could control the passage of damaging shock waves through a ceramic armour system, especially at the interlayer between a ceramic and metal.
