Fatigue and Fracture of Fibre Composites

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering
Aircraft manufacturers are now competing based on their aircraft’s fuel efficiency due to the high cost of aviation fuel. As a result, in recent years, these manufacturers have turned more and more to the use of lightweight composites in their designs for almost every component of their aircraft. Read more

Testing and Optimsation of Medical Examination and Surgical Gloves

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering
Very few standard tests exist for assessing the impact on glover wearers’ touch and feel, decterity, hand fatigue etc. A greater understanding of these is becoming important as glove materials change away from the traditional Latex (for allergy reasons). Read more
