  • Probing the Structure and Evolution of Anode Materials in Thermal Batteries 
    Azad, Atia (Cranfield University, 2020-11-30)
    High-temperature thermal batteries use lithium-silicon alloys as the anode material. Li13Si4, Li7Si3 and Li12Si7 alloys are studied to determine if phase transitions occur or if the alloys become amorphous between room ...
  • Recent Developments from Experiments on HMX Reactions 
    Morley, Olivia (Cranfield University, 2020-11-30)
    When studying the visible emission of light in the deflagration of energetic materials, two main features are present. Firstly, continuous blackbody radiation across the visible range, which can be used to calculate the ...
  • The Security Implications of AI-Enabled Technology in the Military 
    Ertan, Amy (Cranfield University, 2020-12-07)
    Several world leaders and defence secretaries across the world have referred to a current ‘AI arms race’ in which militaries vie for technological superiority across artificial intelligence-enabled technologies. Concurrently, ...
  • Identity Based Consensus for Self-Governing Systems 
    Platt, Moritz (Cranfield University, 2020-11-30)
    The selection of members is a challenge in decentralised record-keeping systems. In ‘permissioned’ systems, this crucial task is performed by a central authority or consortium. In ‘permissionless’ systems, however, the ...
  • Generative Adversarial Networks for X-Ray Computed Tomography 
    Valat, Emilien (Cranfield University, 2020-11-30)
    X-Ray computed tomography is a widely used, non-destructive imaging technique that produces cross-sectional images of bodies sensitive to X-Ray. Inter alia, it relies on exhaustive sampling of the attenuation properties ...
  • Novel Ceramic Armour for Land Vehicles: Identifying the Chink in our Knowledge 
    Powell, Daniel (Cranfield University, 2020-11-30)
    Vehicle armour is a complex multi-material system, typically comprising of both ceramics and metals. It must meet highly demanding performance criteria; resistance to penetration (often at incredibly high strain rates) ...
  • Direct Temperature Measurements in Solids via Inelastic X-Ray Scattering Under Shock and Ramp Compression 
    Karnbach, Oliver (Cranfield University, 2020-12-01)
    Shock and quasi-isentropic compression of solid-state matter via laser-ablation affords the creation of high energy density states of matter, with pressures and temperatures of relevance to core conditions within planets ...
  • Outsourcing Security and the Reconfiguration of State Power After the Arab Uprisings 
    Moussa, Engy (Cranfield University, 2020-12-02)
    This research explores how increased privatization and outsourcing of security in some Arab countries since the 2010-2011 uprisings has contributed to the reconfiguration of state power and the survival of authoritarian ...
  • ASP Triangles: Sketching the Artificial Intelligence of a Mobile Platform 
    Di Fraia, Marco (Cranfield University, 2020-12-01)
    ASP triangles are a tool that we introduced to structure the design process of the on-board Artificial Intelligence (AI) of a mobile platform. Their value lies in taking into account the couplings and interactions between ...
  • Meteorological Wind Effect on the Ballistic Trajectory of a Medium Calibre System 
    Knight, Daniel (Cranfield University, 2020-12-02)
    Modern systems use a single wind sensor onboard the vehicle to measure and capture meteorological wind data to calculate a weapon systems ballistic offset. The most calculations assumes constant wind between firing point ...
  • Trajectory Optimization of Complex Air Vehicles 
    Clay, Ayden (Cranfield University, 2020-12-02)
    Hypersonic glide vehicles can travel from London to LA in less than thirty minutes through a complicated swiss-cheese-like flyable region. This region comes from physical objects such as the ground or mountains, or from ...
  • 4D Printing of Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys 
    Milleret, Anastassia (Cranfield University, 2020-12-02)
    Magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMA) are ferromagnetic materials exhibiting a plastic reversible transformation. Compared to thermally activated shape memory alloys, such as NiTi, the response of MSMA is much faster (less ...
  • Privatising Security Post-Arab Uprisings 
    Moussa, Engy (Cranfield University, 2020-12-07)
    Since the 2010-2011 uprisings, several Arab countries have witnessed considerable expansion of the private security industry. Acknowledging that public security institutions have been integral to state power and regime ...
