    This paper presents the techniques used for the characterisation of a new type of standing-wave piezoelectric ultrasonic motor. The motor uses a metallic flextensional amplifier, or “cymbal”, to convert the radial mode ...
  • New insights into the biotransformation of weathered hydrocarbons in soil 
    Brassington, Kirsty J. (Cranfield University, 2008-03)
    Weathered petroleum hydrocarbons are a highly complex, important soil contaminant. After forty years of petroleum research, weathered hydrocarbons are still not sufficiently understood or appropriately accounted for ...
  • A new powder encapsulation method and its implications on densification by hot isostatic pressing 
    Downing, M. (Cranfield University, 1993-04)
    Hot isostatic pressing is now an accepted material processing technique for the consolidation of metal powders to near-net-shape components. This thesis examines the use of coatings as in-situ envelopes to overcome the ...
  • New product introduction process improvements in an automotive company
