  • The value and usage of ticket flexibility for short haul business travellers. 
    Mason, Keith J. (Elsevier, 2006-03)
    Fully flexible business class and “full economy” airline tickets are aimed at meeting the needs of business travellers whose travel requirements may change after a ticket is purchased. The provision of these products has ...
  • A value-centric decision making framework for maintenance services outsourcing 
    Toossi, Amir (Cranfield University, 2011-12)
    The shift in mindset of decision makers, from maintenance being a “necessary evil” and “cost centre” to a “profit contributor” in manufacturing companies has driven outsourced maintenance suppliers to employ value-centric ...
  • Vaned recess anti-stall for axial-flow fans and compressors 
    Kang, Chang (Cranfield University, 1996)
    The study of anti-stall techniques for fans and compressors has never been more significant, since the potential applications were recognised in gas turbines, tunnel ventilation (jet fans) and industrial process ...
  • Variable cycle propulsion systems for a supersonic civil transport 
    Aleid, Louay (Cranfield University, 1997-04)
    The different aspects of overall performance of three variable cycle engines (VCE) candidates for future supersonic civil transport are analysed in this work. These aspects concern the design and off-design points ...
  • A variable delay line 
    Brown, D. C. (College of Aeronautics, 1958-01)
    A variable delay line has been designed and built which can be used as an accurate means of measuring time intervals between 10 and 200 p seconds. The use of such a device for the determination of the temperature ...
  • Variational based analysis and modelling using B-splines 
    Sherar, P. A. (Cranfield UniversitySchool of Mechanical Engineering; Applied Mathematics and Computing Group, 2004)
    The use of energy methods and variational principles is widespread in many fields of engineering of which structural mechanics and curve and surface design are two prominent examples. In principle many different types of ...
  • Various optimisation methods for preliminary cost and mass distribution assessment for multistage rocket vehicles 
    Kalitventzeff, B. (College of Aeronautics, 1964)
    Preliminary staging studies of multi-stage space launchers are described. Both propellant and thrust scaling factors are used, and also cost parameters for propellant, propellant scaling units and thrust scaling units. ...
  • A VCSEL based system for on-site monitoring of low level methane emission 
    Kannath, A.; Hodgkinson, Jane; Gillard, R. G.; Riley, R. J.; Tatam, Ralph P. (2011-12-31)
    Continuous monitoring of methane emissions has assumed greater significance in the recent past due to increasing focus on global warming issues. Many industries have also identified the need for ppm level methane measurement ...
  • Vector-scalar imaging in combustion using PIV and LIF 
    Farrugia, N. (1995-12)
    The effect of turbulent flow-fields on a premixed flame-front has been of considerable interest in the field of combustion research. Modern laser diagnostics allow the measurement of important parameters such as species ...
  • Vehicle active suspension system design using strategies based on state estimation by Kalman filters 
    Shakir, A. A. (1990-06)
    The suspension system of a ground vehicle moving on or off road can be improved by so called "active control" using control strategies which require feedback of all or some of the system states. A stochastic state ...
  • Verification of the capacity of Malpensa Airport: Final report 
    Air Transport Group (Cranfield University, College of Aeronautics, 2000-07)
    The purpose of this study is twofold. First, to assess the capacity of Malpensa airport taking into account the impact of environmental measures introduced by the Italian Government Environmental Decree of 13th December ...
  • Very efficient sampling technique for fiber-remote optical emission spectroscopy of aqueous solutions 
    MacKenzie, Steven J.; Hodgkinson, Jane; Johnson, Mark; Dakin, John P. (1997-01-01)
    We have measured fluorescence from a waveguide formed by a falling cylindrical stream of liquid. The configuration is suited to taking measurements from liquids with any refractive index, such as aqueous solutions. The ...
  • Very high-order methods for 3D arbitrary unstructured grids 
    Tsoutsanis, Panagiotis (Cranfield University, 2009-08)
    Understanding the motion of fluids is crucial for the development and analysis of new designs and processes in science and engineering. Unstructured meshes are used in this context since they allow the analysis of the ...
  • Vibration analysis of compressor blade tip-rubbing 
    Arzina, Dina (Cranfield University, 2011)
    There has been a significant increase in air traffic volume, particularly over the past twenty years. In order to cope with this increase in demand, it has been necessary to increase the efficiency of aircraft engines. ...
  • Vibration characteristics of a cantilever plate with swept-back leading edge 
    Heiba, A. E. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield., 1982-10)
    The paper presents an experimental study of natural frequencies and modes of vibration of uniform cantilever plates. Sixteen planforms are tested by combining aspect ratios of 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 and 2 with leading edge sweep-back ...
  • Vibration of structures with non-linear damping 
    Gabri, B. S. (Cranfield University, 1978-03)
    The work reported here is directed towards the problem of measuring and modeling non-linear damping in steel space frame civil engineering structures. In order to gain a better understanding of the damping mechanism ...
  • Vibrations of a swept box 
    Radok, J. R. M. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1951-04)
    The equation of motion of a uniform swept box with stringers and ribs are deduced. For the case of vibrations of a cantilever they are transformed into integrated equations, an approximate method of solution of which is indicated.
  • Vibrations of the propeller shaft and the rear axle of a passenger car 
    Egbuson, A. K.; Hodgetts, D.; Hodgson, R. (College of Aeronautics, 19)
    Digital analysis of the free-free bending vibrations of a propeller shaft and a beam-type rear axle are compared, for different theoretical models, with the results of rig tests. The relative importance of distributed ...
  • Video re-sampling and content re-targeting for realistic driving incident simulation 
    Heras, Alejo M.; Breckon, Toby P.; Tirovic, Marko (2011-11-17)
