A pioneer in the field of soil mechanics, Schofield developed drum centrifuges in Cambridge to reduce the cost of centrifuge tests, to improve the accuracy, and reduce the labour and the ... time needed for any one test series.

Within the Department, the methods have been very successfully applied in the flight control studies for the Harrier jump jet with, most unusually for a University group, two sets of test

The use of a centrifuge to test scaled- down models has been a vital factor in the development of soil mechanics and it has played a key role in its application

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

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

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

Engineering projects should be analysed using the three elements: Economic, Environmental and Social. ... Each team is judged on its ability to defend its portfolio of strategies in a 5 min oral report, considering both capacity constraints and social

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

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