  • Accurate measurement of the piezoelectric coefficient of thin films by eliminating the substrate bending effect using spatial scanning laser vibrometry 
    Leighton, Glenn J. T.; Huang, Zhaorong (Institute of Physics, 2010-06-30)
    One of the major difficulties in measuring the piezoelectric coefficient d(33,f) for thin films is the elimination of the contribution from substrate bending. We show by theoretical analysis and experimental measurements ...

    Context: Current production from natural forests will not satisfy future world demand for timber and fuel wood, and new land management options are required. Aims: We explore an innovative production system that combines ...
  • 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 – 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 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 ...
