  • Soil Compactability 
    Seig, D. A. (Cranfield University, 1985-08)
    Subsoiling and deep loosening are widely used to alleviate soil compaction but little is known about the mechanics of the compaction process. Further information is required on the process that soil goes through during ...
  • Soil reaction to heavily loaded rubber tracks and tyres 
    Ansorge, Dirk (Cranfield University, 2007-10-12)
    The importance of undercarriage design with respect to its effect on soil density changes grows with the size of harvest machinery. Therefore this study elucidates the mechanics of soil displacement caused by different ...
  • Sol-Gel derived Ferroelectric Thin Films for Voltage Tunable Applications 
    Luker, Arne (Cranfield University, 2009)
    Ferroelectric perovskite thin films for voltage tunable applications, namely (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (Barium Strontium Titanate or BST) and (Pb,Sr)TiO3 (Lead Strontium Titanate or PST), are synthesized via the so-called sol-gel route. ...
  • Sol-gel derived lead zirconate titanate thick films and their improved pyroelectric properties 
    Zhang, Qi; Shaw, Christopher P.; Huang, Zhaorong; Whatmore, Roger W. (Taylor and Francis, 2004)
    The single-layer thickness of Pb(Zr0.3Ti0.7)O3(PZT 30/70) thin films made by the sol-gel process is often restricted by the appearance of cracks when a single layer is thicker than 100 nm. Making a film with 1μm thick needs ...
  • Solid recovered fuel production through the mechanical-biological treatment of wastes 
    Velis, C. A. (Cranfield University, 2010-02)
    This thesis is concerned with the production of solid recovered fuel (SRF) from municipal solid waste using mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plants. It describes the first in-depth analysis of a UK MBT plant and ...
