The Institute has the triple aims of increasing the number of able people in manufacturing, improving the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry and enhancing its economic and public profile, the Institute

While at Orfordness, Jones and others learned to fly, encouraged by Hopkinson, so that they could test the apparatus and armaments they were trying to perfect in actual service.

The aircraft used were mostly Spitfires, flown by Wing Commander Wilson, the chief test pilot at Farnborough, who was happy to hold the aircraft in a steep (but never vertical) dive

and then test it out," explains Dr Allan McRobie.

1997a). Figure 1 shows in detail the test section and heated test plate. ... Figure 1. Encapsulated cholesteric liquid crystals were used to visualise the process of wake-induced transition on the test surface.

The measurements of soot distribution across test low sooting methane flame show good agreement with results using laser-induced incandescence (LII) in the range from around 20 ppb to 15 ppm.

of power plants, chemical processes, to aircraft stability, engines, even applications in economics and biology), happened in the late 1930s and 1940s.

The full implications of her work were not realised until the 1950s but after that, the ‘Tipper test’ became the standard method for determining this form of brittleness in steel.

For economic reasons, any system used for copying and restoring old films must be fast as well as effective.

The first of Whittle's test jet engines took to the skies on 15 May 1941, powering an aircraft that had been specifically designed for the purpose: the Gloster E28/39. ... This aircraft was conceived and built in only 15 months. Take-off for the test

Royce tests. ... The rig used for these tests incorporated a wake generator to simulate the presence of a single upstream blade row.

31 Jan 2002: Describe and Match. A classic problem in all Test Your Own IQ Books is that of geometrical analogy: A is to B as C is to? ,

Subdivide each team into three pairs. One will have responsibility for presenting technical issues, another economic and the third environmental.

6 Oct 2004: An elimination procedure at the end of each game tests how well the children have learnt the material.

Comparison of Hot Wire and Pressure Probe. A test for evaluation of the pressure probe and the application of the Least Squares method was conducted in a large scale radial inflow

It is difficult and expensive to carry out practical tests on structures to optimise the designs so we use a theoretical approach. ... The results of these tests are fed in to the designs of offshore plants to reduce the risks of such a catastrophic

Projects. Christian Hoecker. Christian Hoecker. Projects. While the Research Page discusses the overall goals of the CMMPE, this page covers some of the actual projects that constitute these areas. Projects. Jonathan Harris - Steel Origami. Jonathan

Test programme. The actual research programme involves the construction and testing of a 12m span of an almost full-scale section of bridge (see photo) which will be tested under various ... The test programme will provide new information on this aspect

A modular approach means that it is easy to integrate and test new algorithms without requiring a detailed understanding of the software structure.

The geometry modelled is a generic design developed in-house which conforms to present regulations, and complements a series of experimental tests.
