    A new concept in aircraft propulsion is described in this work. In particular, variable jet engine is investigated for supersonic ASTOVL aircraft. This engine is a Selective Bleed Variable Cycle, twin shaft turbofan. At ...
  • Self localization and mapping using optical and thermal imagery 
    Magnabosco, Marina (Cranfield University, 2011-02)
    Given a mobile robot starting from an unknown position in an unknown environment, with the task of explores the surroundings, it has to be able to build an environmental map and localize itself inside that map. Achieving ...
  • Self-assembled films for molecular rectification 
    Tyrrell, Wayne David. (Cranfield University, 2004-10)
    The original model for molecular rectification was proposed by Aviram and Ratner (Chemical Physics Letters, 1974, 29, 277-284.), who suggested that donor-electron bridge-acceptor molecules could be organic counterparts ...
  • Semi-empirical approach to characterize thin water film behaviour in relation to droplet splashing in modelling aircraft icing 
    Alzaili, Jafar S. L. (Cranfield University, 2012-07)
    Modelling the ice accretion in glaze regime for the supercooled large droplets is one of the most challenging problems in the aircraft icing field. The difficulties are related to the presence of the liquid water film on ...
  • Sensitivity analysis for multidisciplinary design optmization 
    Maginot, Jeremy (Cranfield University, 2007-11)
    When designing a complex industrial product, the designer often has to optimise simultaneously multiple conflicting criteria. Such a problem does not usually have a unique solution, but a set of non-dominated solutions ...
  • Separation with the aid of surface and interfacial tensions 
    Arato, E. G. (Cranfield University, 1984-04)
    The investigations described in this thesis were aimed at developing or laying the foundation of novel techniques of liquid/solid and liquid/liquid separation by utilising the capillary effect. In Part I the studies ...
  • Sequential traumatisation in the police 
    Peters-Bean, Kyron M. (Cranfield University, 2000-01)
    There is a paucity of research into traumatic incidents concerning police workers (Hart et al. 1995). There are also few studies relating the prolonged and repetitive exposure to traumatic stressors, or 'sequential trauma' ...
  • Servicing polar platforms using electric propulsion 
    Welch, C. S. (Cranfield University, 1992-02)
    The future of space development has been examined in the context of the infrastructure necessary support it. It is concluded that the selection of propulsion systems for in-orbit transportation requires the development ...
  • Severe slugging and unstable flows in an S-shaped riser 
    Montgomery, J. A. (Cranfield University, 2002-02)
    Severe slugging and unstable flow in an S-Shaped riser has been investigated in three research themes - experiments, criterion modelling and transient code modelling. A series of experiments were carried out on the ...
  • Severity estimation and shop visit prediction of civil aircraft engines 
    Hanumanthan, Hariharan (Cranfield University, 2009-10)
    To sustain in the vibrant field of civil aviation, the aircraft and engine manufacturers are in the pursuit of delivering efficient systems with the best economics. In umpteen scenarios of growing interest, engine ...
  • Simulating actuator energy demands of an aircraft in flight 
    Cooper, Michael Anthony (Cranfield University, 2014-02-13)
    This thesis contributes towards the discipline of whole aircraft simula- tion; modelling ight dynamics and airframe systems simultaneously. The objective is to produce estimates of the dynamic power consumption ...
  • Simulation and Experimental Verification of the Flooding and Draining Process of the Tidal Energy Converter “Deltastream” during Deployment and Recovery 
    Rocolle, Guillaume (Cranfield University, 2014-09)
    Deltastream is an on-going project carried by Tidal Energy Limited since almost twenty years. It is a tidal energy converter with a triangular shape and one turbine on each tower. It has gone through many evolutions of ...
  • Simulation and Optimization of Integrated Maintenance Strategies for an Aircraft Assembly Process 
    Li, Jin (Cranfield University, 2013-11)
    In this thesis, the COMAC ARJ21 fuselage’s final assembly process is used as a case study. High production rate (i.e. number of aircraft assembled per year) with reasonable cost is the overall aim in this example. The ...
  • Simulation Framework Development for the Multidisciplinary Optimisation of Rotorcraft 
    Goulos, Ioannis (Cranfield University, 2012)
    The effective and efficient evaluation of conceptual product designs prior to manufacturing of prototypes, is of utmost importance for any industrial ac¬tivity. The rotorcraft industry is no different. Accurate, thorough ...
