Experimental results are presented from an investigation of the parameters of a ceramic-faced armour system that are required to induce damage in a tungsten carbide - cobalt (WC-Co) penetrator. A WC-Co material model has ...
The research undertaken for this thesis has contributed to better understanding of the fate and transport on insensitive high explosives (IHE) formulations and suitable extraction methods from soil. Investigations into the ...
There is a paucity of published research into female body armour resulting in a
lack of evolution in design and testing solutions.
A series of surveys and experiments were designed to extend the knowledge
relating ...
Femoroacetabular impingement is a clinical disorder of the hip caused by premature contact between the femur and the acetabulum. A lead cause of this condition is cam morphology, additional bone growth on the anterior ...

This study examines the educational use made by military forces around the
world, but primarily those of the United Kingdom, of visits to past battlefields.
Investigation suggests this practice commenced formally in ...
Within the human body, vitreous humour, cerebrospinal fluid and synovial fluid are all
contained within anatomical compartments that, by virtue of their relative avascularity,
provide considerable protection from ...
Small celestial bodies such as asteroids and comets are abundantly present in
the Solar System, yet their surfaces remain largely unexplored. Achieving regular
access to these surfaces would have a major impact on ...

The intent of this thesis is to define a set of processes for use within UK Government
dismounted soldier systems research that will provide stakeholders with auditable and
traceable information to understand gaps in ...
The purpose of this thesis is to assess the impact of Female Engagement (FE) policies in setting the conditions for Countering Violent Extremism and to establish to what extent the defence and security sector is contributing ...
The problem of theatre level politico-military arrangements during peace and stability operations is important because the intervening actors, working in complex and often ambiguous circumstances, need to calibrate the ...
Vulnerabilities within software are the fundamental issue that provide both the means, and opportunity for malicious threat actors to compromise critical IT systems (Younis et al., 2016). Consequentially, the reduction of ...
This thesis is a study of the previously neglected area of organisational development
dealing with interpersonal team dynamics amongst Royal Air Force (RAF) ground crew
during the Western Desert campaign June ...
In this thesis a novel guidance method for a 3-degree-of-freedom robotic manipulator arm in 3 dimensions for Improvised Explosive Device (IED) disposal has been developed. The work carried out in this thesis combines ...
The strength of a gun barrel is a function of the residual circumferential stress at the bore. This stress is known to be affected by the properties of the gun barrel material, especially the Bauschinger effect. This thesis ...
Blast mines have played a major role in almost every conflict from the two world wars to the most recent skirmishes. They provide a psychological threat in addition to denying access to areas and exerting a huge toll on ...
The aircraft industry has been able to adopt improved maintenance and logistics planning as a result of the technological advances in Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) and Equipment Health Monitoring (EHM). Same cannot be ...
At present, power delivery issues are becoming a concern with modern state of the art electrical and electronic systems. The existing power networks, namely the centralized power architecture and the DC distributed power ...
The naturally occurring mineral of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a promising alternative absorber layer for thin film based photovoltaic devices. It has the remarkable advantage that it consists of abundant, inexpensive and non-toxic ...
