  • Amplitude of probability density function (APDF) of vibration response as a robust tool for gearbox diagnosis 
    Rzeszucinski, P. J.; Sinha, J. K.; Edwards, Rodger; Starr, Andrew G.; Allen, B. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2012-12-31)
    A ‘Go' or ‘No Go' assessment is a safety requirement for quick and robust estimation of the condition of gearboxes used in helicopters and other critical machines. A range of vibration-based condition indicators (CIs) has ...
  • Anaerobic Digestion Foaming Causes 
    Ganidi, Nafsika (Cranfield University, 2008-10)
    Anaerobic digestion foaming has been encountered in several sewage treatment plants in the UK. Foaming has raised major concerns for the water utilities due to significant impacts on process efficiency and operational ...
  • Anaerobic digestion foaming causes – A review 
    Ganidi, Nafsika; Tyrrel, Sean F.; Cartmell, Elise (Elsevier, 2009-12)
    Anaerobic digestion foaming has been encountered in several sewage treatment plants in the UK. Foaming has raised major concerns for the water companies due to significant impacts on process efficiency and operational ...
  • Anaerobic membrane bioreactors for municipal wastewater treatment 
    Fawehinmi, Folasade (Cranfield UniversitySchool of Water Sciences, 2006-08)
    Anaerobic treatment has historically been considered unsuitable for the treatment of domestic wastewaters. The work presented in this thesis focuses on the incorporation of membranes into the anaerobic bioreactor to ...
  • Anaerobic ponds for domestic wastewater treatment in temperate climates 
    Cruddas, Peter (Cranfield University, 2014-05)
    Energy demand, greenhouse gas emissions, and operational costs are continuing to rise year on year in the wastewater treatment sector, with traditional treatment options unable to provide sustainable solutions to increasing ...
  • Anaerobic workout 
    McAdam, Ewan J. (Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2010-11-30)
    Anaerobic technology cannot directly replace current wastewater treatment processes exclusively. The UASB reactor configuration removes slightly less organic carbon by comparison as the process relies on lamella separation ...
  • Analyses of Power Output of Piezoelectric Energy-Harvesting Devices Directly Connected to a Load Resistor Using a Coupled Piezoelectric-Circuit Finite Element Method 
    Zhu, Meiling; Worthington, Emma; Njuguna, James A. K. (IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics, 2009-07-31)
    A coupled piezoelectric-circuit finite element model (CPC-FEM) is proposed for the first time to study the power output of a vibration-based piezoelectric vibration-based piezoelectric energy harvesting devices (EHDs) ...
  • Analysing oily wastes in soils 
    Coulon, Frederic (Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2009-12-31)
    Many hydrocarbon contaminated sites posing potential risks to human health harbour weathered, ‘mid-distillate' or heavy oils. Now, a bioremediation consortium (PROMISE), led by Cranfield University, has developed a novel ...
  • Analysis and development of an aqueous tape casting ceramic process 
    Mortara, L. (Cranfield University, 2005-11)
    The laboratory scale process developed by Navarro [Navarro, 2001 ] for the production of pyroelectric ceramics was used as a case study for the design of a high-level methodology for the scale-up of ceramic processes. A ...
  • Analysis and evaluation of mechanical performance of reinforced sandwich structures: X-CorTM and K-CorTM 
    Marasco, Andrea I. (Cranfield UniversitySchool of Industrial and Manufacturing Science, 2005-12)
    X-CorTM and K-CorTM are foam based lightweight structural cores reinforced with ZFiber ® rods oriented in a truss pattern. They can generate sandwich structures which possess strength- and stiffness-to-weight ratios such ...
