  • Design and investigation of a diesel engine operated on pilot ignited LPG 
    Theodoridis, Eudoxios (Cranfield University, 2009-03)
    This thesis explores the idea of igniting LPG in a compression ignition diesel engine using pilot diesel injection as spark ignition medium. The main advancement in using this technology on current diesel engines is the ...
  • Development of a liquid-phase LPG MPI conversion system 
    Vuorenkoski, Anni Kaisa (2004-10)
    For decades Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has been considered as one o f the most prominent alternative fuels to petrol. LPG typically consists of propane, butane and propylene, but also smaller quantities o f methane ...
  • Development of a spark plug fuel injector for direct injection of natural ags in spark ignition engine 
    Mohamad, Taib Iskandar (Cranfield University, 2006-07)
    In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful. By His will, this thesis has been completed as another episode of knowledge seeking and contribution. The author wishes to express a greatest gratitude to the ...
  • Intake acoustics of naturally aspirated racing engines 
    Dolinar, A (Cranfield University, 2006-04)
    The intake system is one of the components on the internal combustion engine most linked with the achievement of the high volumetric efficiency required of naturally aspirated engines. High performance racing ...
  • Lap time simulation with transient vehicle and tyre dynamics 
    Kelly, Daniel Patrick (Cranfield University, 2008-05-07)
    A numerical method is presented for the time optimal control of the race car. The method is then used to perform the role of the driver in numerical simulations of manoeuvres at the limit of race car performance. The ...
  • Measurement and analysis of rally car dynamics at high attitude angles 
    Croft-White, Michael (Cranfield UniversityDepartment of Automotive, Mechanical and Structural Engineering, 2006-05)
    This research aims to investigate the nature of high β-angle cornering as seen in rallying and in particular the World Rally Championship. This is achieved through a combination of sensor development, on-car measurement and ...

  • Predictive engineering processes for motorcycle dynamics 
    Styles, M. J. (Cranfield University, 2004-04)
    This study is an investigation into the use of computer aided handling and stability analysis for motorcycles. In particular it considers Triumph Motorcycles Ltd., delving into Triumph's background, their strategy and ...
  • Use of numerical optimisation to determine on-limit handling behaviour of race cars. 
    Brayshaw, Damien (Cranfield University, 2004-08)
    The aim of this research is to use numerical optimisation to investigate the on-limit behaviour of an open wheel downforce type race car using the best compromise of modelling accuracy and computational effort. The ...
