Analysis and development of an aqueous tape casting ceramic process

Mortara, L. (Cranfield University, 2005-11)

The laboratory scale process developed by Navarro [Navarro, 2001 ] for the production of pyroelectric ceramics was used as a case study for the design of a high-level methodology for the scale-up of ceramic processes. A ...

Characterization of shrinkage effects in micro-injection moulding (µ-IM)

Annicchiarico, Daniele (Cranfield University, 2013-10)

This thesis characterizes the effects on shrinkage in microinjection moulding. The literature review considers four branches of investigation (material properties, processing parameters, mould design and specimen design). ...

Comparison and evaluation of the Telehealth systems using a discrete event simulation

Griscenko, Natalia (Cranfield University, 2012-10)

The telehealth is the delivery of health-related services at a distance using communication technologies. The telehealth provides important benefits: allows to provide the access to the healthcare service reducing need ...

Design of experiment studies for the fabrication processes involved in the micro-texturing of surfaces for fluid control

Wallis, Kirsty (Cranfield University, 2013-11)

This thesis focuses on the use of a design of experiment approach to examine the significance of process factors and interactions on the fabrication of micro- textured surfaces. The micro-textured surfaces examined contain ...

Design rationale for the regulatory approval of medical devices

Sagoo, Jeevan (Cranfield University, 2012-09)

Design rationale is a methodology aimed at capturing and representing design decisions according to a designated structure. Additionally, these design decisions and their underlying arguments can be made available for ...

Developing Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS)

Sagoo, Jeevan (Cranfield University, 2008-09)

Intellectually and technologically, the art of design is one of the oldest forms of mankind’s expression of creativity. Since the early days of primitive man to now, humans have discovered needs that require functional ...

Examining the use of visualisation methods for the design of interactive systems

Li, Katie (Cranfield University, 2016-06)

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design has historically involved people from different fields. Designing HCI systems with people of varying background and expertise can bring different perspectives and ideas, but ...

Fabrication of lead zirconate titanate ceramics for pyroelectric applications

Navarro, A. (Cranfield University, 2001-10)

The objective of this work was twofold, i.e. to develop an aqueous route for tape casting Lead Ziconate Titanate (PZT)ceramics for pyroelectric applications and to optimise the die-pressing route for reducing defect size ...

Informatics for devices within telehealth systems for monitoring chronic diseases

Adeogun, Oluseun (Cranfield University, 2011-04)

Preliminary investigation at the beginning of this research showed that informatics on point-of-care (POC) devices was limited to basic data generation and processing. This thesis is based on publications of several studies ...

An investigation into the depiction of smart grid technology

Li, Katie (Cranfield University, 2012-10)

Increasing climate change concerns and depletion of fossil fuels demand greater efficiency in electricity production and consumption. Smart Grid is a vision of an enhanced electricity grid that integrates the electric grid ...

Investigation of the influence of the design of a pin-on-disk tribometer on friction data

Lockyer, A. P. (Cranfield University, 2007-04)

Vibrational analysis performed on a common design of pin-on-disk tribometer showed that high frequency oscillatory friction forces were generated between the pin and the disk during a test. These resulted in the tribometer ...

Micro-Injection Moulding Of Three-Dimensional Integrated Microfluidic Devices

Attia, Usama M. (Cranfield University, 2009)

This thesis investigates the use of micro-injection moulding (μIM), as a high-volume process, for producing three-dimensional, integrated microfluidic devices. It started with literature reviews that covered three topics: ...

Modelling information flow for organisations delivering microsystems technology

Durugbo, Christopher (Cranfield University, 2011-01)

Motivated by recent growth and applications of microsystems technology (MST), companies within the MST domain are beginning to explore avenues for understanding, maintaining and improving information flow, within their ...

Optimising oscillatory positive expiratory pressure devices for effective airway clearance

Khasawneh, Mohammad (2016-12)

Oscillatory positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) devices are a form of airway clearance techniques that are wildly used in the clinical practice and well accepted by patients. Clinicians and respiratory therapists are ...

Powder co-injection moulding

Hanson, S. M. J. (Cranfield University, 2000-09)

A novel powder processing technique has been developed by combining conventional powder injection moulding with polymer co-injection moulding, to permit the in-situ surface engineering of metal or ceramic components as ...

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-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 ...

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 ...
