  • Knowledge-based cost modelling for innovative design 
    Rehman, S. (Cranfield University, 2000)
    The contribution to new knowledge from this research is a novel method for modelling production costs throughout the design phase of a product's lifecycle, from conceptual to detail design. The provision of cost data ...
  • Kolmogorov-Chaitin complexity of digital controller implementations. 
    Whidborne, James F.; McKernan, John; Gu, Da-Wei (Springer Science Business Media, 2006-07-01)
    The complexity of linear, fixed-point arithmetic digital controllers is investigated from a Kolmogorov-Chaitin perspective. Based on the idea of Kolmogorov-Chaitin complexity, practical measures of complexity are ...
  • LAG: Achieving transparent access to legacy data by leveraging grid environment 
    Deng, Yuhui; Wang, Frank Zhigang (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2011-01-31)
    The world today is experiencing an explosive growth of data generated by information digitization. Due to the unprecedented advance in software and hardware, large amounts of data gradually becomes legacy data and ...
  • Lagrangian hydrocode modelling of hypervelocity impact on spacecraft 
    Campbell, J. (1998-05)
    This thesis addresses the problem of modelling hypervelocity impact on spacecraft structures using a Lagrangian hydrocode. Lagrangian hydrocodes offer the advantages of computational efficiency and structural elements, but ...
  • The laminar boundary layer in slip flow 
    Nonweiler, T. (College of Aeronuatics, Cranfield, 1952-11)
    This report discusses the effects of the existence of a small, but finite, molecular mean-free-path on the steady air flow in the laminar boundary later. The boundary conditions at the exposed surface are modified by the ...
  • The laminar boundary layer with injection through a permeable wall 
    Stevenson, T. N. (College of Aeronautics, 1961-01)
    The steady incompressible laminar boundary layer equations for a perfect gas with arbitrary distributions of wall temperature, main stream velocity and normal velocity at the wall are solved approximately by a method ...
  • Langmuir-Blodgett films of porphyrins and phthalocyanines 
    Portus, Dan (Cranfield University, 2002)
    Phthalocyanines and porphyrins have been studied for many years as bulk, thick and thin films. Their use in Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films is governed their peripheral substituents. These can enhance or reduce their ...
  • 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 ...
