Project List

A list of some of the current and past research projects the group has been involved in.

AFFORDABLE DIFFUSION BONDING

Diffusion bonding (DB) is where materials are joined to cause intimate contact and allowing diffusion of atoms to form a perfect bond. The project looked at reducing the manufacturing costs and times and making it affordable

ULTRALIGHTWEIGHT ENERGY ABSORBER

To absorb impact energy requires the design and testing of structured cellular materials. These materials are ultra-lightweight and experience micro-inertial hardening

CEMENT MIXER DRUM

Increasingly stringent environmental and emissions laws, and a need to increase load carrying capacity of the vehicles; involving lightweight composite mixer drum

ADVANCED SURFACE COOLERS

Sophisticated coupled CFD- heat transfer of a device involving high speed air-flows and cold liquids. This is supported by experimental analysis of the fluid and heat flows.

VIDEO COLLABORATION

This supports industrial & collaborative research. It involves lightweight shared desktop software and advanced video conferencing. It includes secure delivery through firewalls– when required

BRAZE BONDING OF METAL COMPOSITES

This involves improved control of the bonding process and controlling the differentials stresses between the metallic components—to produce a beneficial stress field
