    The present study investigated the impact of a number of assessor characteristics upon the relative contribution of individual assessor ratings to the final assessment centre decision. Berger, Cohen and Zelditch (1966) ...
  • The effect of nozzle inclination on heat transfer in jet impingement systems 
    Oladiran, M. T. (Cranfield University, 1981-09)
    Jet impingement heating and cooling techniques are used extensively in industrial applications. in some of these installations, the axis of the jet can be inclined relative to the impingement surface. The impingement ...
  • Effect of rolling on fatigue crack growth rate of Wire and Arc Additive Manufacture (WAAM) processed Titanium 
    Qiu, Xundong (Cranfield University, 2013-11)
    Titanium (Ti) alloys have been commonly used in the aerospace industry, not only because they have a high strength-to-weight ratio (comparing to the steels) but also their satisfactory corrosion resistance. Furthermore, ...
  • Effect of swirl distortion on gas turbine operability 
    Mehdi, Ahad (Cranfield University, 2014-05)
    The aerodynamic integration of an aero-engine intake system with the airframe can pose some notable challenges. This is particularly so for many military air- craft and is likely to become a more pressing issue for both ...
  • Effect of wing flexibility on aircraft flight dynamics 
    Qiao, Yuqing (Cranfield University, 2012-02)
    The purpose of this thesis is to give a preliminary investigation into the effect of wing deformation on flight dynamics. The candidate vehicle is FW-11 which is a flying wing configuration aircraft with high altitude and ...
  • Effect on oxides on surface topography and thermal contact resistance 
    Mian, M. N. (Cranfield University, 1979-11)
    The effect of oxides on the topographies of various random engineering surfaces and steady-state thermal contact resistances between oxidefree and oxidized metallic surfaces in contact in high vacua have been investigated. ...
  • Effective multiobjective MDO for conceptual design - An aircraft design perspective 
    Fantini, Paolo (Cranfield University, 2007)
    Once the requirements for a new aircraft have been defined, the Conceptual design phase is launched. During this phase one or more designers have the goal of defining and investigating a number of alternative solutions. ...
  • Effects of drought and vegetation management on the establishment of 3 tree species in Northamptonshire, England 
    Panter, Jonathan Paul (Cranfield University, 2006-08)
    Water is a limiting factor in the distribution and growth of trees. Changing climatic conditions are likely to significantly effect tree species development. The planting and establishment of trees needs to take into ...
  • Effects of pipe orientation on sand transportation 
    Osho, Adeyemi Joseph (Cranfield University, 2013-11)
    Sand transport in hilly terrain geometry is different and complex to understand compared to horizontal pipeline, due to the influence of the geometry that greatly affect multiphase flow and sand behaviour at the dip. The ...
  • Effects of turbulence modelling on the analysis and optimisation of high-lift configurations 
    Guo, Chuanliang. (Cranfield University, 2011-09)
    Due to the significant effects on the performance and competitiveness of aircraft, high lift devices are of extreme importance in aircraft design. The flow physics of high lift devices is so complex, that traditional one ...
  • Efficient phase unwrapping 
    AI-Sawaf, Firas (Cranfield University, 2005-06)
    In the field of optical interferometry, two-dimensional projections of light interference patterns are often analysed in order to obtain measurements of interest. Such interference patterns, or interferograms, contain ...
  • Efficient upwind algorithms for solution of the Euler and Navier-stokes equations 
    McNeil, C. Y. (Cranfield University, 1995-10)
    An efficient three-dimensionasl tructured solver for the Euler and Navier-Stokese quations is developed based on a finite volume upwind algorithm using Roe fluxes. Multigrid and optimal smoothing multi-stage time stepping ...
