    Lead scandium tantalate (PST) thin films for pyroelectric applications have been deposited by using liquid delivery chemical vaporise deposition (LDCVD), sputtering and sol-gel techniques. These films were annealed by ...
  • Apparent Reduction in the Value of the d 33 Piezoelectric Coefficient in PZT Thick Films. 
    Dorey, Robert A.; Whatmore, Roger W. (Taylor & Francis, 2002-01-01)
    Thick PZT films (1 - 20 m) have been prepared using a composite sol gel technique whereby PZT powder and a PZT producing sol are formed into a slurry and spin coated onto silicon wafers. The maximum relative permittivity ...
  • Smart overlay coatings - concept and practice 
    Nicholls, John R.; Simms, Nigel J.; Chan, W. Y.; Evans, H. E. (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2002-01-15)
    Smart overlay coatings are a functionally gradient coating system designed to provide high temperature corrosion protection over a wide range of operating conditions. The SMARTCOAT design consists of a MCrAlY base, ...
  • A novel strain sensor based on the campaniform sensillum of insects. 
    Skordos, Alexandros A.; Chan, P. H.; Vincent, J. F. V.; Jeronimidis, G. (Royal Society, 2002-02-01)
    The functional design of the campaniform sensillum was modelled as a hole in a plate using twoand three-dimensional finite-element modelling. Different shapes of opening in a fibrous composite plate amplify differently ...
  • A product data management integrated product configuration and assembly process planning environment. 
    Gao, James X.; Bowland, N. W. (Professional Engineering Publishing, 2002-03)
