  • Reconfigurable micro-mould for the manufacture of truly 3D polymer microfluidic devices 
    Marson, Silvia; Attia, Usama M.; Allen, David M.; Tipler, P.; Jin, T.; Hedge, J.; Alcock, Jeffrey R. (Cranfield University, 2009-03-31)
    This paper concerns the concept, the design and the manufacturing steps for the fabrication of a precision mould for micro-injection moulding of truly three dimensional microfluidic devices. The mould was designed using ...
  • A review of information flow diagrammatic models for product-service systems 
    Durugbo, Christopher; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Alcock, Jeffrey R. (Springer Science Business Media, 2011-02-28)
    A product-service system (PSS) is a combination of products and services to create value for both customers and manufacturers. Modelling a PSS based on function orientation offers a useful way to distinguish system inputs ...
  • A review of micro-powder injection moulding as a microfabrication technique 
    Attia, Usama M.; Alcock, Jeffrey R. (Institute of Physics Publishing; 1999, 2011-03-01)
    Micro-powder injection moulding (µPIM) is a fast-developing micro-manufacturing technique for the production of metal and ceramic components. Shape complexity, dimensional accuracy, replication fidelity, material variety ...
  • The selection and application of design methodologies for the design of bone tissue scaffolds 
    Blogg, Ken (Cranfield University, 2013-01)
    Research motivation: Bone tissue scaffolds offer a way forward in a strategy to change from tissue replacement to tissue regeneration. Bone tissue scaffolds are a combination of a physical construct, with clearly defined ...
  • Service delivery for microsystems production: A study 
    Durugbo, Christopher; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Alcock, Jeffrey R. (Elsevier Science Business Media, 2012-01-26)
    This paper presents the findings of an investigation into the industry practice of service delivery within microsystems technologies (MST) (also known as micro- electro-mechanical systems, MEMS) production. A study was ...
  • Service-oriented design of microfludic devices 
    Panikowska, Katarzyna E. (Cranfield University, 2011-01)
    Microfluidics is a relatively new and, with an estimation of the market for these devices exceeding $ 3 billion in 2014, it is considered a profitable domain. Constant development of new technologies and growing demand ...
  • Steps towards ceramic process scale-up: analysis of a laboratory process 
    Mortara, L.; Navarro, A.; Whatmore, Roger W.; Alcock, Jeffrey R. (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2004-01-01)
    In this paper the first steps towards a scaling up of a ceramic process are described, using as case study a lab-scale process, in which PZT ceramics are produced via an aqueous tape casting route. The process, the result ...
  • Study of blood flow behavior in microchannels 
    Marson, Silvia; Benade, M.; Attia, Usama M.; Allen, David M.; Kersaudy, Kerhoas M.; Hedge, J.; Morgan, S. L.; Larcombe, L. D.; Alcock, Jeffrey R. (2008-06-01)
    Microfluidic (also known as lab-on-a-chip) devices offer the capability ofmanipulating very low volumes of fluids (of the order of micro litres) for severalapplications including medical diagnostics. This property ...
  • Survey of media forms and information flow models in microsystems companies 
    Durugbo, Christopher; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Alcock, Jeffrey R. (2010-02-22)
    The paper presents the findings of a survey of 40 microsystems companies that was carried out to determine the use and the purpose of use of media forms and information flow models within these companies. These companies ...
  • SysML for the Analysis of Product-Service Systems Requirements 
    Durugbo, Christopher; Hutabarat, Windo; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Alcock, Jeffrey R. (2010-04-15)
    In this paper, the Systems Modelling Language (SysML) is introduced as a technique for the design of aproduct-service system (PSS). In examples of the requirements diagram in SysML, this paper shows that:(1) a PSS can ...
  • System-in-use methodology : a methodology to generate conceptual PSS (Product-Service Systems) and conventional designs using systems-in-use data 
    Hussain, Romana (Cranfield University, 2013-03)
    Industries want to add value to their offerings but to do this, rather than just accepting customer requirements, they now need to know how their products and/or services have been embedded within their customer’s process ...
  • A unified modelling system for service representation 
    Gkekas, Konstantinos (Cranfield University, 2012-09)
    This PHD project aims to develop a service design system which has a customer-centric view and delivers a balance between profit and value for both customers and service providers. The system will enable designers to assess ...
