Evaluation of quality and behaviour of self-piercing riveted aluminium to high strength low alloy sheets with different surface coatings
(2008)A study examining the effect of coatings on the quality and behaviour of self-piercing riveted joints between aluminium and steel sheets was conducted. NG5754 and AA5182 aluminium and high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel ... -
Thermal cycling and ageing of a glass-ceramic sealant for planar SOFCs
(2011-09)Thermal cycling and thermal ageing tests were performed on Crofer22APU/glass-ceramic/Anode-Supported-Electrolyte (ASE) joined samples in air at the SOFC operating temperature of 800 degrees C. The Crofer22APU had been ... -
Characterization and performance of glass-ceramic sealant to join metallic interconnects to YSZ and anode-supported-electrolyte in planar SOFCs
(2008-09)This work describes the design, development and performance of a glass-ceramic sealant used to join the ceramic electrolyte (YSZ wafer and anode-supported-electrolyte (ASE)) to the metallic interconnects (Crofer22 APU and ... -
Performance and testing of glass-ceramic sealant used to join anode-supported-electrolyte to Crofer22APU in planar solid oxide fuel cells
(2009)This work describes the performance and testing of a glass-ceramic sealant used to join the ceramic electrolyte (anode-supported-electrolyte (ASE)) to the metallic interconnect (Crofer22APU) in planar SOFC stacks. The ... -
Comparison between the thermal properties of fully dense and porous NiTi SMAs
(2010)In this paper the results and methodology for evaluating the dependence of the thermal properties of porous and fully dense NiTi SMAs on temperature and porosity using an experimental–numerical approach is reported. In the ... -
Cast in situ Cu–TiC composites : synthesis by SHS route and characterization
(2009)The present investigation discusses observations pertaining to the synthesis of Cu-based composites containing TiC particles in the range of 45–50 volume % by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) process. A ... -
Insertion of six different supraglottic airway devices whilst wearing chemical, biological, radiation, nuclear-personal protective equipment : A manikin study
(2011-11)Six different supraglottic airway devices: Combitube (TM), laryngeal mask airway, intubating laryngeal mask airway (Fastrach (TM)), i-gel (TM), Laryngeal Tube (TM) and Pro-Seal (TM) laryngeal mask airway were assessed by ... -
Comparison of six different intubation aids for use while wearing CBRN-PPE : A manikin study
(2011)INTRODUCTION: Respiratory failure following chemical exposure can be fatal and although supraglottic airway devices have been evaluated for use in the management of CBRN casualties' intubation remains the gold standard ... -
What is the optimal position of an intubator wearing CBRN-PPE when intubating on the floor : a manikin study
(2011)Prompt airway management following a CBRN incident is linked to improved patient survival. However, responding rescuers will have to wear CBRN-PPE and treat patients positioned on the floor which will adversely impact on ... -
