  • Collaboration between designers and scientists in the context of scientific research 

    Peralta, Carlos (University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringInstitute for Manufacturing (IfM), 2013-10-08)
    Collaboration between Designers and Scientists in the Context of Scientific Research This thesis presents the results of a research project that examines collaboration between product designers and scientific researchers. ...

  • Collapse of masonry structures 

    Ochsendorf, John Allen (University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringKing's College, 2002-07-16)
    TIlls dissertation examines the collapse of masonry structures in response to large support displacements and horizontal ground accelerations. There are two main classes of masonry structure: arches that thrust, and ...

  • Collective Cell Migration: Leadership, Invasion and Segregation 

    Kabla, Alexandre Joseph
    Video S1-S2 : Behaviour of a homogeneous cell population with motile strength respectively equal to 0.05 and 0.1 (J=5). The colors of individual cells are arbitrary. Video S3 : Evolution of a group of 25 motile cells with ...

  • Colour videos with depth : acquisition, processing and evaluation 

    Richardt, Christian (University of Cambridge, 2012-03-06)
    The human visual system lets us perceive the world around us in three dimensions by integrating evidence from depth cues into a coherent visual model of the world. The equivalent in computer vision and computer graphics ...

  • Combustion characteristics of alternative liquid fuels 

    Chong, Cheng Tung (University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-11-08)
    Envisaged application of biodiesel in gas turbine engines or furnaces requires extensive tests on the deflagration properties of biodiesel. The laminar flame speeds of Palm Methyl Esters (PME) and blends of PME with ...

  • Computational modelling in chemical engineering 

    Kraft, Markus (2008-08-27)
    Computational modelling in chemical engineering: from science to technology

  • Computational modelling of cracks in viscoplastic media 

    Wells, Garth Nathan; Sluys, LJ; De Borst, R (Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on FractureProceedings of the 10th International Conference on Fracture, 2001)
    A newly developed numerical model is used to simulate propagating cracks in a strain softening viscoplastic medium. The model allows the simulation of displacement discontinuities independently of a finite element mesh. ...

  • Computations of turbulent premixed flames using conditional moment closure 

    Amzin, Shokri (University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-06-12)
    Lean premixed combustion is at present one of the most promising methods to reduce emissions and to maintain high efficiency in combustion systems. As the emission legislation becomes more stringent, modelling of turbulent ...

  • Computer code in support of paper 'Optimal control with stochastic PDE constraints and uncertain controls' 

    Rosseel, Eveline; Wells, Garth N. (2011)
    Computer code in support of the paper 'Rosseel, E. and Wells, G. N. Optimal control with stochastic PDE constraints and uncertain controls. Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg., http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2011.11.026.'

  • Computer code in support of the manuscript "Phase field model for coupled displacive and diffusive microstructural processes under thermal loading" 

    Wells, G N; Maraldi, Mirko (2011)
    Supporting material for the article: Maraldi, M., Wells, G. N., and Molari, L. (2011). Phase field model for coupled displacive and diffusive microstructural processes under thermal loading. Journal of the Mechanics and ...

  • Conceptual design for a laminar-flying-wing aircraft 

    Saeed, Tariq Issam (University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-06-12)
    The laminar-flying-wing aircraft appears to be an attractive long-term prospect for reducing the environmental impact of commercial aviation. In assessing its potential, a relatively straightforward initial step is the ...

  • Contact and channel modelling to support the early design of technical systems 

    Albers, A; Braun, ML; Clarkson, Peter John; Enkler, H - G; Wynn, David Charles (Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Engineering Design' ICED'09, Vol 5: Design Methods and Tools, Part 1Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Engineering Design' ICED'09, Vol 5: Design Methods and Tools, Part 1, 2009-08-24)
    The early design of mechanical systems is critical because it constrains options later in the design process. In this early stage of the design process, designers must consider customer requirements, how they are related ...

  • Control for transient response of turbocharged engines 

    Cieslar, Dariusz (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 ...

  • Corporate governance and banking regulation 

    Alexander, Kern (CFAP, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, 2004-06)
    The globalisation of banking markets has raised important issues regarding corporate governance regulation for banking institutions. This research paper addresses some of the major issues of corporate governance as it ...

  • Credit derivatives and sovereign debt 

    Goderis, Benedikt; Wagner, Wolf (CFAP, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, 2005-10)
    We study the introduction of credit protection on sovereign debt. We find that such protection reduces debtor moral hazard by allowing a bonghokder to improve his position in negotiations with the sovereign. Moreover, ...

  • Credit derivatives, the liquidity of bank assets and banking stability 

    Wagner, Wolf (CFAP, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, 2005)
    The emerging markets for credit derivatives have improved the liquidity of bank assets by providing banks with various new possibilities for selling and hedging their risks. This paper examines the consequences for banking ...
