Synthesis and Characterisation of Lithium Silicides

Azad, Atia (Cranfield University, 2022-01-10)

Thermal batteries are primary (non-rechargeable) batteries. To activate the battery, a pyrotechnic heat source melts the solid electrolyte to a molten salt at high temperature (typically around 500°C). The battery activation ...

Doping with Tungsten - Bad for Humans, Great for Tanks

Powell, Daniel (Cranfield University, 2022-01-11)

The distribution of energy within an armour system is a fundamental principle. The joining of the hard disruptive outer layer and soft absorbing backing layer is often a source of weakness in armour systems, causing premature ...

Visualising penetration in armour

Powell, Daniel (Cranfield University, 2022-01-11)

The human eye, CT scanning, X-ray radiography and Computer Aided Design (CAD) can all be used to visualise penetration in armour systems. This digital image demonstrates how these advanced techniques help us see a story ...

Assured Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Safety-Critical Scenarios

Riley, Joshua (Cranfield University, 2022-01-11)

Multi-agent reinforcement learning involves and facilitates a team of agents to solve complex decision-making problems in shared environments. This learning process is largely successful in many areas, but its inherently ...

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Inconel 718 and Inconel 625 Produced Through The Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing Process

James, William (Cranfield University, 2022-01-12)

In developing the wire + arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process for heat resistant alloys used in high-speed flight applications, structures were built from nickel-based superalloys Inconel 718 (IN718) and Inconel 625 ...

Home Made Explosives (HME), how to understand the threats and model the risk?

Halleux, Francis (Cranfield University, 2022-01-12)

Within the scope of countering the threat of Improvised Explosive Devices, HME constitute a major public security concern, requiring specific risk assessments for first responders such as Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) ...

CED3: Comparative Evaluation of DDoS Defences

Otung, Andikan (Cranfield University, 2022-01-12)

DDoS defence validation provides a way to capture the usefulness of defensive solutions to one of the most notorious Internet attacks of our generation. A uniform method of defence evaluation, enables not only the individual ...

Detecting LFM Parameters in Joint Communications and Radar Frequency Bands

Zhang, Kaiyu (Cranfield University, 2022-01-12)

As the traditional radar waveform, linear frequency modulation (LFM) is widely used in military applications to detect targets. Recently, civilian applications such as internet of vehicle and unmanned aerial vehicle also ...

Boron Carbide-Silicon Carbide nanocomposites for next generation armour

Payne, Henry (Harry) (Cranfield University, 2022-01-12)

Modern warfare is developing rapidly; technology is becoming more advanced and the modern soldier requires more of it. With the increase in equipment there is an increase in weight which reduces mobility. Threats have also ...

Identifying prototypical trust signals in open-source software libraries: A think aloud study

Peace, Robert (Cranfield University, 2022-01-13)

A huge (and increasing) amount of veracity neutral information is available to online information seekers in today’s digital world. However, knowing which information to trust is difficult for users because of the existence ...

Virtual Reality interactive training for maritime crews in response to terrorist attacks on cruise ships

Robinson, Selina; Meenaghan, Amy (Cranfield University, 2022-01-13)

Despite increasing concern from policymakers and maritime security experts regarding the risk of terrorist attacks on maritime vessels, research within this domain remains somewhat neglected. To date, such attacks have ...

Highly efficient conversion of laser energy to hard X-rays in high intensity laser-solid simulations

Morris, Stuart (Cranfield University, 2022-01-13)

We present simulations which predict significantly higher laser to X-ray efficiencies than those previously found in high intensity (1020-1022 Wcm-2) laser-solid simulations. The bremsstrahlung emission is shown to last ...

Vibration Analysis of Non-Metallic Materials

Sriraman, Shabarish (Cranfield University, 2022-01-13)

A 3MT talk on developing a hybrid method, which combines experimental testing and simulation tuning, to characterise the dynamic vibration properties of materials. Topics discussed include: - Why we need a new characterisation ...

De-sovereignisation as an instrument of Russia’s coercive diplomacy in the context of post-Soviet de facto states. A comparative study of Moldova and Ukraine (2014–2021).

Barbieri, Jaroslava (Cranfield University, 2022-01-13)
