  • Technology, knowledge translation and policy : conceptual frameworks and case-studies 
    Seaton, Roger A. F. (Cranfield University, 1997-07)
    The aim of this thesis is to develop, present and then demonstrate conceptual structures that link together an apparently heterogeneous range of research activity about technology in situations which are the subject of ...
  • Temperatures in high efficiency deep grinding 
    Bell, Andrew John (Cranfield University, 2009-02)
    This research considers the temperatures generated in the workpiece during profile and cylindrical traverse grinding in the High Efficiency Deep Grinding (HEDG) regime. The HEDG regime takes large depths of cut at high ...
  • A theory of emergency service command staff sensemaking processes 
    Bayer, Johannes Robert (Cranfield University, 2010-06)
    Fire Service commanders work in a very dynamic environment. This research investigated the process they use to make sense and thereby develop understanding of situations during the response to a large-scale emergency. In ...
  • Thermal and deformation analysis of joint interfaces in machine tools 
    Gashi, Bekim (2008-05)
    Machine tools are made up of many different parts connected together. In order to understand and create more accurate thermal and deformation numerical models the heat transfer characteristics of machine tool interfaces ...
  • Thermal characteristics of grinding fluids 
    Massam, Mark (Cranfield University, 2008)
    High Efficiency Deep Grinding (HEDG) combines high depths of cut, high grinding wheel speeds with high work piece feed rates to deliver a very high stock removal process that can produce components free of surface damage. ...
  • Thermal Performance of a Multi-Axis Smoothing Cell 
    Georgiou, Charalambos Andrew (Cranfield University, 2011-05)
    Multi Axis Robots have traditionally been used in industry for pick and place, de-burring, and welding operations. Increasing technological advances have broadened their application and today robots are increasingly being ...
  • Thermo-mechanical analysis of wire and arc additive manufacturing process 
    Ding, J. (Cranfield University, 2012-01)
    Conventional manufacturing processes often require a large amount of machining and cannot satisfy the continuously increasing requirements of a sustainable, low cost, and environmentally friendly modern industry. ...
  • Thick-film piezoelectric bimorph actuators for MEMS devices 
    Owens, Sam (Cranfield University, 2011-08)
    Active ow control can be used to improve the aerodynamic e ciency of passenger aircraft, road tra c and wind turbines amongst other applications. This work describes the fabrication of an ultra-compact microvalve that ...
  • TiB2 ceramic and DLC Multilayered PVD coatings 
    Santos da Silva Cruz, Ricardo Manuel (Cranfield University, 2007)
    Titanium diboride (TiB2) has been investigated as a potential candidate for several industrial applications, such as: cutting tools, electric devices, wear parts and many more fields of application. The main drawback of ...
  • Total quality management framework for Libyan process and manufacturing industries 
    Youssef, Soltan (Cranfield University, 2006)
    There are many challenges facing Libyan process and manufacturing industries in today's competitive market. One of these major challenges is the ability of Libyan companies to effectively introduce quality management ...
  • Towards a comprehensive understanding of the impacts of the BioSand water filter on the quality of life for post-war rural Liberians 
    Kauffeldt, Bev (Cranfield University, 2011-10)
    Numerous forms of low-technology development interventions have been introduced and implemented in an effort to alleviate the cycle of poverty. Nowhere is this truer than in the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector, ...
  • Towards a framework for assessing the sustainability of supply chains : the case of potatoes in Britain 
    Vasileiou, Konstantinos Z. (Cranfield University, 2002-04)
    There is growing concern about the sustainability of food production and marketing systems when measured against a set of sometimes conflicting economic, environmental and social criteria. In this context, this research ...
  • Towards a mid-range theory of method selection for innovation pre-project activities 
    Herzberg, Torsten (Cranfield UniversitySchool of Industrial and Manufacturing Science, 2006-01)
    There is a large variety of approaches that describe the pre-project innovation phase as the cradle of successful innovation activities, and thus as an important factor to reach the objective of organisational growth and ...
  • Towards an agent-based model for risk-based regulation 
    Davies, Gareth J. (Cranfield University, 2010-09)
    Risk-based regulation has grown rapidly as a component of Government decision making, and as such, the need for an established evidence-based framework for decisions about risk has become the new mantra. However, the ...
