Item Open Access Global Terrorism Database Analysis(Cranfield University, 2025-05-29) Laycock, Angela; Helliker, Aimee; Critchley, Aimee; Hazael, RachaelExploring the blast and fragmentation impact design considerations of low carbon construction materials subject to terrorist threats. The dataset is from the Global Terrorism Database with the addition of details around the charge size to enable analysis of trends.Item Open Access Data "Airworthiness and No Fault Found - FRAM Analysis"(Cranfield University, 2023-09-08) Lacey, LauraThe Functional Resonanace Analysis Method model (diagram) and Excel spreadsheet analysis completed within the PhD. The analyses shows how the impact of NFF can be monitored and reduced. It considers the aircrew, engineers, maintenance etc within an organization. The FRAM has been applied by following the guidance provided in this book. FRAM: The Functional Resonance Analysis Method: Modelling Complex Socio-technical Systems By Erik HollnagelItem Open Access Data for "Digital forensic science peer review survey UK and Norway"(Cranfield University, 2024-10-28) Ryser, Elenore; Horsman, GraemeItem Open Access Data for "Investigation into the environmental fate of the novel explosive 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO): Acridine and its constituents"(Cranfield University, 2024-10-22) Persico, Federica; Temple, Tracey; Mai, Nathalie; Pons, Jean-François3-Nitro-l,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) is an Insensitive High Explosive (IHE) often considered as a safer alternative to traditional explosive 1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). NTO is highly soluble in water and previous studies have revealed that when transported through soil it has the potential to create an environmental challenge as it tends to easily reach groundwater systems. To combat some of these challenges recent work has shown that combining NTO in a co-crystal with Acridine (ACR) at a molar ratio of 1:1 has a positive effect on thermal stability and a reduction in solubility. This paper experimentally evaluates the fate and transport of this NTO:ACR co-crystal compared to its individual components, NTO and ACR, in a low-inorganic matrix. The findings of this study reveal that despite NTO maintaining its high solubility within the co-crystal structure , the quantity of NTO retained within the upper layers of the sand column is larger for NTO:ACR. The rate of transport of these materials through the soil was also considered. While the rate of transport of NTO was proportional to its concentration the presence ACR was shown to have an antagonistic effect on this activity. Therefore, consistent evidence is provided here of an interaction between NTO and ACR within the co-crystal structure which results in a lower solubility for NTO. Increasing the retention of a containment within soil could aid in environmental remediation of the area post-use.Item Open Access Data for: Anisotropy visualisation from X-ray diffraction of biological apatite in mixed phase samples(Cranfield University, 2024-09-06) Scott, Robert; Rogers, Keith; Gosling, Sarah; Arnold, EmilyItem Open Access Dataset for "Environmental Fate of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in Marine Environments - Dissolution and Remediation Strategies"(Cranfield University, 2024-09-16) Persico, Federica; Temple, Tracey; Mai, Nathalie; Kadansky, EvieItem Open Access Data Set for Comparative Analysis of Blast Prediction Software for Far-Field Shock Wave Effects Behind a Blast Wall(Cranfield University, 2024-09-05) Chester, AlastairA comparative analysis of blast prediction software for far-field shock wave effects behind a blast wall.
