Where experts from Academia - Cranfield University - and Officers of the British Armed Forces meet to teach Defence Science, Technology and Management. We are the academic provider and partner to the Defence Academy, UK.
The first deliberate manufacture of glass occurs in the sixteenth century BC, although the origin of the material is still a focus of debate; Egypt or Mesopotamia being the most likely innovator. The conventional approach ...
Most commercially available spine analogues are not intended for biomechanical testing, and the few that are suitable for using in conjunction with implants and devices to allow a hands-on practice on operative procedures ...
Most commercial spine analogues are not intended for biomechanical testing, and those developed for this purpose are expensive and yet still fail to replicate the mechanical performance of biological specimens. Patient-specific ...

This study evaluated chronological changes in physiological stress and levels of habitual loading of Ibizan
populations from the Late Roman-Early Byzantine to the Islamic period (300-1235 AD) using measures ...
In the last decades, the histomorphometric analysis of bone tissue has been utilized to develop equations for species discrimination of fragmentary bone. Although this technique showed promising results, its main limitation ...

Energetic materials are often disposed by open-burning or open-detonation as it is a cost-effective and efficient means of destroying explosive material, and often minimizes the need to transport hazardous explosives to ...
Caister, A. J.; Carr, Debra J.; Campbell, P. D.; Brock, Fiona; Breeze, John(Springer, 2020-05-02)
Physical models are required to generate the underlying algorithms that populate computer simulations of the effects of explosive fragmenting devices. These models and simulations are used for understanding weapon performance, ...
Carew, Rachael M.; Errickson, David(Wiley, 2020-05-13)
There has been a rapid development and utilization of three‐dimensional (3D) printing technologies in engineering, health care, and dentistry. Like many technologies in overlapping disciplines, these techniques have proved ...
This study investigates the ricochet behaviour of three different small-arms projectile types using a novel ricochet measuring device. The results can be used to estimate the danger potential of ricochets on shooting ...
The behaviour of exposed and copper-jacketed 12.7 mm En8 steel cores impacting against 5 and 9 mm Armox Advance plates was investigated to determine the significance of the jacket during the penetration. The target plates ...

In this research, we developed a new rendering-based end to end Hyperspectral scene simulator CHIMES (Cranfield Hyperspectral Image Modelling and Evaluation System), which generates nadir images of passively illuminated ...
The Agile Warrior concept has been developed to promote thinking skills throughout all ranks in the British Army, including initial training during Phase 1. The concept of the Agile Warrior is based around transformation ...
In-field assessment of rice panicle yields accurately and automatically has been one of the key ways to realize high-throughput rice breeding in the modern smart farming. However, practical rice fields normally consist of ...
Rondao, Duarte; Aouf, Nabil; Richardson, Mark A.; Dubois-Matra, Olivier(Elsevier, 2020-04-07)
Optical-based navigation for space is a field growing in popularity due to the appeal of efficient techniques such as Visual Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (VSLAM), which rely on automatic feature tracking with ...
According to some interpretations of Islam supported by gender activists, the veil can be perceived as a passport that enables women to participate in public affairs. This argument has been overlooked by the courts, including ...
This research characterizes and reconstructs clay procurement and production practices through the integration of in-situ portable XRF and petrographic analysis on ancient ceramics and clay materials recovered from the ...
In the context of the BEFIM project (“Meanings and Functions of Mediterranean Imports in Early Iron Age Central Europe”) the life history of (drinking) vessels from the Early Celtic hillfort settlements of the Heuneburg ...
