• Not so crystal clear : Defects, hot spots and initiations in explosive crystals 

  Mintoff, Alice (Cranfield University, 2022-11-21)

  Nitroamine explosives are a crystalline material used in munitions, as a charge or propellant in powder form. These crystalline powders are compounded into formulations with other materials that can be tuned to fit ...
• Initiation and Growth in Novel Ignition Threshold Experiments (IGNITE) 

  Heal, Kieran (Cranfield University, 2022-11-22)

  It is well known that the sensitivity of energetic materials increases with damage. However, the sensitivity and damage characteristics of polymer bonded explosives (PBX) have, to date, largely been studied separately. As ...
• Obliteration Trends Around the World 

  Henwood, Bailey (Cranfield University, 2022-11-21)

  In both conflict zones and criminal investigations, the identification of firearms used in the commission of crimes is critical. This allows the tracking of weapons from manufacturers and legal owners to illicit actors and ...
• Metals in extreme environments; Effect of multiple high velocity shots 

  Stephenson, John-Joseph (Cranfield University, 2022-11-22)

  During high strain rate scenarios such as an impact event, a compressive shock wave will propagate through the material. When this wave reaches a free surface, it will be reflected as a rarefaction wave. Interaction of ...
• Development of Sustainable PPE for Higher Threat Clearance Operations by Humanitarian Organisations 

  Brown, Laura (Cranfield University, 2022-11-22)

  Humanitarian demining is a hugely important task being undertaken all over the world with 59 countries and territories still contaminated by landmines and unexploded ordnance as of 2020. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) ...
• Multistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar Phenomenology and Interferometry 

  Hagelberg, Alexander (Cranfield University, 2022-11-22)

  Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a remote sensing technique which provides high resolution imagery over large areas of the Earth. Unlike optical imagery, SAR operates in all-weathers, day or night. SAR images provide ...
• Until Sniffer Dogs Can Talk: CRIM-TRACK 

  Hardy, Iona (Cranfield University, 2022-11-22)

  This image is a digitally drawn short comic highlighting the CRIM-TRACK sniffer, a device that utilises a colourimetric sensor system to detect illicit compounds by their vapour at sensitivity rivalling a sniffer dog, but ...
• Visualising the Dispersion of Particles Within a Functionally Graded Material 

  Powell, Daniel (Cranfield University, 2022-11-22)

  Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are designed to carefully alter material properties along a selected axis. This image shows FGMs created through mixing varying percentage volumes of high-density tungsten powder (in ...
• Nuclear Power: Finding the missing piece 

  Mirza, Mateen (Cranfield University, 2022-11-22)

  There is now a clear consensus that our energy demands must be met through lower carbon solutions. As our global population continues to rise and aspires to higher living standards we are faced with increasingly ambitious ...
