  • X-ray absorption tomography employing a conical shell beam 
    Evans, J. Paul O.; Godber, S. X.; Elarnaut, F.; Downes, D.; Dicken, A. J.; Rogers, Keith (Optical Society of America, 2016-12-12)
    We demonstrate depth-resolved absorption imaging by scanning an object through a conical shell of X-rays. We measure ring shaped projections and apply tomosynthesis to extract optical sections at different axial focal plane ...
  • X-ray backscatter radiography with lower open fraction coded masks

    Single sided radiographic imaging would find great utility for medical, aerospace and security applications. While coded apertures can be used to form such an image from backscattered X-rays they suffer from near field ...
  • X-ray diffraction for the determination of residual stress of crystalline material: an overview 
    Lodh, Arijit; Thool, Khushahal; Samajdar, Indradev (Springer, 2022-03-07)
    Though there are a variety of experimental techniques available for residual stress measurements, diffraction-based measurements have the unique advantage of estimating the individual components of the residual strain ...
  • xtrusion of short fibre reinforced polyethylene pipes 
    Wilson, K. A. (Cranfield University, 1990-02)
    Short fibre reinforced thermoplastic pipe was produced by an extrusion process which oriented the fibre reinforcement predominantly into the pipe hoop direction. The fibre reinforcement was thereby used to maximise ...

    1. Silvoarable agroforestry (SAF) is the cultivation of trees and arable crops on the same parcel of land. SAF may contribute to modern diversified land use objectives in Europe, such as enhanced biodiversity and ...
  • You stab my back, I'll stab yours: Management experience and perceptions of organization political behaviour 
    Buchanan, David (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008-03-01)
    This paper reports the findings of a survey of 250 British managers, exploring their experience and perceptions of organization politics. Political behaviour appeared to be common. Most managers viewed political behaviour ...
  • Young people and road user behaviour: attitudes, judgements and behaviour 
    Adams, J. R. (Cranfield University, 1992-10)
    The problem of the disproportionately high accident and offence rate of young drivers is a major area for concern in the field of road safety (Cameron, 1982,1983; Jonah, 1986). Research suggests that young drivers have ...
  • Your employees: the front line in cyber security 
    Ashenden, Debi (2016-05-27)
    With cyberattacks set to rise, it’s important that we empower employees to defend our front line.

    Human robot collaboration is a concept under development that will be applied within manufacturing environments in the near future to increase efficiency and quality. While there have been significant advances in technology ...
  • Youth work research: initiatives in the study of young people, youth work and youth services. 
    Atkinson, Isobel (1995-10)
    This study is the product of a two year action research project with the Norfolk Youth and Community Service from 1989 to 1991. The research ideas were developed with the Wakefield Youth Service from 1992 to 1993. The ...
  • Z-direction heat transfer in composites hybridised with large diameter metallic pins 
    Neale, Geoffrey; Fu, Y.; Skordos, Alexandros A. (ICCM, 2023-08-04)
    Continuous fibre reinforced polymer composites have a well-established track record of excellent structural performance but generally lack non-structural functionalities inherent in legacy materials like metals. As the ...
  • Z-pinning techniques to improve energy absorption capabilities of CFRP tubular structures
