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

High speed photography to investigate surface wear and fatigue in railway rail and wheel steels

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

A novel high speed photography technique is being developed at Sheffield which will give new insight to the very earliest stages of railway rail and wheel surface modification during contact. Read more

Investigation of white etching crack damage mechanism in wind turbine gearbox bearings

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

Modern wind turbine gearbox bearings are failing prematurely, by white structure flaking and axial cracking, which may be caused by the propagation of subsurface white etching cracks (WECs). Read more

Failure Analysis of Composite Airframes: Investigation and Predictive Modelling

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

Composite airframe panels are subjected to extreme loads and impacts. Cracks can develop at microstructure at an early stage and then propagate due to fatigue. 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
