Adjoint based optimization of vertical axis wind turbines

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

Recently vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have been more installed in urban areas than before. They are known to perform better in urban regions compared to horizontal axis wind turbines as they do not require alignment to the oncoming flow. 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
