Accelerated Weathering Testing
We conducted an accelerated weathering test to deduce the durability of a fabric material when exposed to extreme temperatures.
Glaze Testing for a Ceramic Artist
Sarah approached the Materials and Engineering Research Institute here at Sheffield Hallam University because she was experiencing less than optimal results with the glaze that she was using in her ceramic work.
Literature Search and Review to Determine the Feasibility of Materials
Approached by Chase Research Cryogenics because the company had encountered problems with a particular product that was in development. The task presented to us was to explore whether or not there were any alternative materials that could potentially be used in an effort to rectify those problems.
SEM Analysis of a Catalytic Product
Catal International has interacted with Sheffield Hallam University for many years with great success, so when the company needed to refine one of its catalytic products in order to prepare for increasingly rigorous EU HSE regulations, it didn’t hesitate to approach us to see how we might be able to help.
Analysis and Annealing of Aluminium Alloys
Peak Design approached us to analyse hemispherical aluminium samples after encountering a problem with the material splitting during the manufacture of a particular component.
Conservation of heritage structures
At the Centre for Infrastructure Management, we have extensive expertise in the characterisation of heritage materials by means of analytical laboratory techniques and in the development and evaluation of mortars and processes for the conservation and repair of heritage structures.
Building insulation testing
At the Centre for Infrastructure Management, we are able to evaluate and test the comparative thermal performance of reflective and multi-foil insulations.
CIM PhD Research Opportunities
The Centre for Infrastructure Management has a number of research topics available for PhD projects in the structural concrete, structural steel, cementitious and non-cementitious materials, conservation of heritage structures, and energy efficiency infrastructure areas.
Bridge Inspection Training Course Delivery Team
An introduction to the core delivery staff of our Bridge Inspection Training Course, which consists of a blend of academia and industry who between them have extensive knowledge in the field of maintenance and repair of bridges.
Celebrating ten years of research and innovation
In 2013, the education staff at Sheffield Hallam University were brought together to establish the Sheffield Institute of Education with the aim of fostering closer collaboration and building stronger connections across our areas of work. Since that time, we have evolved into a national hub of excellence, gaining regional, national and international acclaim for our achievements in teaching, learning, professional development, research, and evaluation. To mark our 10-year anniversary, and in recognition of our ongoing work, we have produced a commemorative publication showcasing some of our areas of interest and expertise.
