Hot forging of the nickel-base superalloy ATI 718Plus
Nickel-base superalloys are widely applied in the hot section of aero engines due to their high temperature capabilities and excellent mechanical properties. For turbine discs, polycrystalline nickel-base superalloys are ... -
A Study of Symmetry Breaking and Stability in Conical Shells and the Implications for Actuators
(2020-07-18)This thesis primarily explores the stability of spherically capped conical shells and secondarily explores the nature of the polygonal folds observed during these deformations. The polygonal folds were classified according ... -
Vapour-based growth of inorganic compounds for next-generation, stable photovoltaics
(2020-02-08)This thesis investigates the growth of stable inorganic compounds for photovoltaic applications using vapour-based fabrication techniques. In the literature section, chemical vapour deposition is identified as a versatile ...
