INNOVATIAL - Innovative processes and materials to synthesise knowledge-based ultra performance nanostructured PVD thin films on gamma Titanium Aluminides
This 'Innovatial' project focuses on the development of protective coatings for a new generation of lightweight titanium gamma aluminide materials that are in high demand in modern aircraft and cars
Viewfinder
The Viewfinder project built an autonomous robotic system to establish ground safety in the event of a fire.
KTP helps secure £14m worth of orders for Joesph Rhodes
An innovative new approach to Super Plastic Forming and Diffusion Bonding processes (SPF/DB), developed through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with Sheffield Hallam has played a fundamental role in securing orders worth £14 million from BAE for Joseph Rhodes Ltd
Development of FEA models to predict the performance of lattice structures in additive manufacturing
The aim of this project is to develop and validate new numerical models using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), in order to determine the static and dynamic performance of regular and irregular lattice structures which are used in additive manufacturing and 3D printing.
Dementia and Robots
Researchers at Sheffield Hallam University have been looking into a robotic solution to help people with advancing dementia to maintain safe exercise regimes
Fire retardant unsaturated polyester nanocomposites
The ability of well-dispersed organomodified clays to enhance the fire retardency of thermoplastic polymers is well established, but thermoset polyester has received relatively little attention
