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 ...
Large eddy simulation of primary liquid-sheet breakup
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-11-13)
This research project aims at providing the aeronautical industry with a modelling
capability to simulate the fuel injection in gas turbine combustion chambers.
The path to this objective started with the review of ...
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 ...
Dry-transfer of chemical vapour deposited nanocarbon thin films
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-01-10)
This thesis presents the development of chemical vapour deposited (CVD) graphene and
multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as enabling technologies for flexible transparent
conductors offering enhanced functionality. ...
Deep ocean clay crusts: behaviour and biological origin
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2011-03-15)
In water depths of 500m to greater than 2,000m, off the West coast of Africa, sediments comprise very soft clays with extremely high water contents and plasticity. In situ CPT and T-bar testing in these areas have identified ...
