The quasi-static and dynamic responses of metallic sandwich structures
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-06-12)Lattice materials are used as the core of sandwich panels to construct light and strong structures. This thesis focuses on metallic sandwich structures and has two main objectives: (i) explore how a surface treatment can ...

Decentralised network prediction and reconstruction algorithms
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-07-03)This study concerns the decentralised prediction and reconstruction problems in a network. First of all, we propose a decentralised prediction algorithm in the framework of network consensus problem. It allows any ...

Tip clearance flows in axial compressors: stall inception and stability enhancement
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-02-07)The flow in the rotor tip clearance gap in an axial compressor influences the loss levels and the stall onset point. The role of tip clearance flows in the stall inception process is still debated, though. The aim of this ...

Variable horizon model predictive control: robustness and optimality
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringControl Group, 2012-07-03)Variable Horizon Model Predictive Control (VH-MPC) is a form of predictive control that includes the horizon length as a decision variable in the constrained optimisation problem solved at each iteration. It has been ...

Measurement of three-dimensional coherent fluid structure in high Reynolds number turbulent boundary layers
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-07-03)The turbulent boundary layer is an aspect of fluid flow which dominates the performance of many engineering systems - yet the analytic solution of such flows is intractable for most applications. Our understanding of ...

A Tool for the Spectral Analysis of the Laser Doppler Anemometer Data of the Cambridge Stratified Swirl Burner
(Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, 2012-06-08)A series of flow fields generated by a turbulent methane/air stratified swirl burner are investigated using laser Doppler anemometer (LDA). The LDA provides flow field measurements with comparatively high temporal resolutions. ...

The P3 platform: an approach and software system for developing diagrammatic model-based methods in design research
(Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Engineering Design' ICED '09, Vol.1: Design ProcessesProceedings of the 17th International Conference on Engineering Design' ICED '09, Vol.1: Design Processes, 2009-08-24)Many issues in design and design management have been explored by building models which capture the relationships between different aspects of the problem at hand. These models require computer support to construct and ...
