A composite material approach towards induction machine design using planar layer models
… be studied. Developed from accepted anisotropic layer-based analysis techniques for induction devices, this approach pairs a simplified geometric model with an analytical solution for magnetic diffusion. The tool strongly supports the preliminary stages of electric machine design through …

Generic planar lattice patterns in liquid crystals
… symmetries and pattern formation within a planar layer of liquid crystal. Some of the generic equilibrium patterns (steady states) on a square or hexagonal lattice that bifurcate from a homeotropic or planar isotropic state were calculated in Chillingworth and Golubitsky 2003 J. …

Radiative Heat Transfer for Emitting, Absorbing and Scattering Planar Media
… and predicting the radiative heat transfer in planar gas and particulate systems. The analysis models both nongray absorption of the gas phase by the exponential wide band model and the redirection of radiant energy by particulate scattering through the optical path length concept. The total …

Improving the strength of fused filament fabrication parts by non-planar alignment of material extrusion wih stress vectors
… due to significant anisotropy and weak interlayer bonding. This thesis presents a novel approach to improve mechanical properties of FFF-produced parts through non-planar alignment of material extrusion with stress vectors. Research progresses from initial proof-of-concept studies to …

Fundamental Components for Lamina Emergent Mechanisms
… lamina emergent mechanisms are fabricated out of planar materials (the lamina) but their motion is out of that plane (emergent). Lamina emergent mechanisms can provide benefits that include reduced manufacturing costs and minimal volume when in the planar state. The compact initial state of LEMs …

Investigating co-crystallisation of primary amides and carboxylic acids. Comparative analysis of Benzamide, Isonicotinamide and Nicotinamide co-crystal growth with carboxylic acid.
… amide and acid carbonyl to each other and the planar and off planar layer assemblies. All of which are required to maximise the hydrogen bond usage of the components comprising the co-crystals. Further investigations have led to the collaborative project with Syngenta Ltd in the design of a …

MODULATION AND INTERACTIONS OF CHARGED BIOMIMETIC MEMBRANES WITH BIVALENT IONS
… of the cell membrane by forming an asymmetric bilayer. This provides a shielding protection against the outer environment while at the same time keeping the organelles and cytosol from leaking out of the cell. Finally lipids are involved in regulating the aggregation of proteins in the membrane. …

Achieving Complex Motion with Fundamental Components for Lamina Emergent Mechanisms
… to save space and reduce cost is to use ortho-planar compliant mechanisms which can be made from sheets of material, or lamina emergent mechanisms (LEMs). This thesis presents principles which can be used for designing LEMs. Pop-up paper mechanisms use topologies similar to LEMs, so it is …
