An investigation into the influence of microstructural condition on the superelastic behaviour in Ti-Nb-based alloys.
(2019-11-30)Ti-Nb based alloys show superelastic and shape memory properties over a wide range of temperatures, making them attractive for industrial applications. However, within the literature there are significant variations in the ... -
New ways to tune the multi-functionality of oxide thin films for memory applications
(2019-10-20)This thesis presents studies on engineering the electrical and magnetic properties in oxide thin films using vertically-aligned nanocomposites (VAN). The works aim to enhance their multi-functionality for various memory ... -
Extraction of Inelastic Mecahnical Properties of Metals from Indentation Data
(2019-10-26)This work presents a detailed investigation into a methodology involving iterative finite element method (FEM) modelling of the indentation procedure, aimed at obtaining well defined mechanical properties of metals solely ... -
The Effect of Superimposed Stress on High Temperature Degradation of Single Crystal Superalloys during Exposure to Various Sulphur and Sea Salt Environments
(2019-11-30)Alternative fuels and novel cycles are increasingly used to supply the world growing demand in energy whilst reducing the carbon emission. Such cycles include the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) with carbon ...
