A machine vision system for the monitoring of CNC machine tooling using inexpensive hardware
Dr Fabio Caparrelli and Teks Sarl are working on a new R&D project that aims to realise a camera-based system to monitor the operation of a CNC milling machine.
Corrosion and structural integrity facilities
A list of facilities for corrosion and structural integrity testing for various construction materials
Life cycle asset management
Our services in this area include modelling of long-term deterioration processes in reinforced concrete; development of expert systems for bridge management and building maintenance; expert advice on repair and maintenance of infrastructures; and independent investigations of PFI assets.
Structural design and stress analysis
Our services in this area include design and analysis of reinforced concrete and steel structures; reliability analysis of bridges; design and stress analysis of pipe coupling systems for water, gas and oil; numerical and finite element analysis
Infrastructure management
Our Centre for Infrastructure Management (CIM) has a strong track record and reputation in the fields of environmental protection, infrastructure management and materials and recycling solutions
New sol-gel coatings fight corrosion and improve environmental friendliness
Researchers from Sheffield Hallam University’s Materials and Engineering Research Institute are developing a range of customised sol-gel coatings to be used on a range of products
Renewable energy technologies in affordable homes
MERI is involved in a project which is examining the effectiveness of Rotherham's Henley Rise Eco-Homes development
Materials modelling and complex flows
All the work undertaken for our clients includes developing new methods to deal with problems which currently lie outside the scope of proprietary software and simulating complex materials and systems using our extant methods
Failure analysis
Our research in this area is focused on the analysis of corrosion-induced failures with the intent of identifying the causes in order to reduce the likelihood of future occurrences.
