Control for transient response of turbocharged engines
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2013-07-09)
The concepts of engine downsizing and down-speeding offer reductions in CO2 emissions from passenger cars. These reductions are achieved by reducing pumping and friction losses at part-load operation. Conventionally, rated ...
Response of piled buildings to the construction of deep excavations
(IOS PressUniversity of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringJesus CollegeDeltares, 2013-04-30)
Trends in the construction of deep excavations include deeper excavations situated closer to buildings. This research provides insight into mechanisms of soil-structure interaction for piled buildings adjacent to deep ...
Mechanics of biomimetic materials for tissue engineering of the intervertebral disc
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2013-04-16)
Tissue engineering offers a paradigm shift in the treatment of back pain. Engineered intervertebral discs could replace degenerated tissue and overcome the limitations of current treatments that disrupt the biomechanics ...
Technology acquisition: sourcing technology from industry partners
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringCentre for Technology Management, 2013-07-09)
This thesis describes the conditions that influence technology acquisition when an industry partner is involved. The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge regarding the conditions that affect effective ...
Short and long-term genome stability analysis of prokaryotic genomes
(2013-05-08)
Abstract Background Gene organization dynamics is actively studied because it provides useful evolutionary information, makes functional annotation easier and often enables to characterize pathogens. There is therefore a ...
Modelling the vibration of tyre sidewalls

Application of mixed-integer programming in chemical engineering
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, 2013-06-11)
Mixed-Integer Programming has been a vital tool for the chemical engineer
in the recent decades and is employed extensively in process design and control.
This dissertation presents some new Mixed-Integer Programming ...
Turbulent partially premixed combustion: DNS analysis and RANS simulation
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2013-03-12)
Increasingly stringent regulation of pollutant emission has motivated the search
for cleaner and more efficient combustion devices, which remain the primary
means of power generation and propulsion for all kinds of ...
Deformation mechanisms beneath shallow foundations
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2013-02-05)
Shallow foundations can provide the most economical solution for supporting small-scale structures. The design approach is quite simple considering the ultimate bearing capacity and working-load settlement. Research has ...
Microwave-assisted pyrolysis of HDPE using an activated carbon bed
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, 2013-04-16)
Plastics play an enormous role in modern manufacturing, but the extraction and refining of raw materials, followed by the synthesis of plastics themselves, represents an enormous energy investment into a product that is ...
