The SUREFIRE project was undertaken to develop a brand-new class of materials that provide strength, stiffness, hardness and fire performance properties to compete with conventional materials such as steel or concrete.

Cement powders contain four major hydraulic constituents, ie clinker phases, which hydrate at different rates and thus influence important factors such as setting time, workability and mechanical strength

Multi-spot welded joints are routinely used in the automotive and other industries to produce structurally critical components

The grey colour of ordinary Portland cement is due to the presence of ferrite, the presence of which is unwelcome in White Portland cement (WPC)

Hydration of the two calcium silicate clinker phases, C3S and C2S proceeds, after an initial induction period, to form a poorly-defined calcium silicate hydrate

Raman microscopy allows us to understand the early stages of oilwell cement hydration, which is crucial to its application

Sheffield Hallam University is set to deliver world class research and innovation capability to drive next generation physical vapour deposition (PVD) processing following major investment in full digitisation of equipment and technology.

Case studies and research conducted at National HIPIMS Technology Centre

This PhD aims to develop work by means of the relatively new Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) that permits a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of fracture and crack propagation in advanced composite structures
