Development of aircraft electric starter-generator system based-on active rectification technology (2018)
Journal Article

More-electric aircraft (MEA) has become a dominant trend for modern aircraft. On-board MEA, many functions, which are conventionally driven by pneumatic and hydraulic power, are replaced with electrical subsystems. Starting aircraft engines with an e...

Comparing life cycle energy and global warming potential of carbon fibre composite recycling technologies and waste management options (2018)
Journal Article

Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) are used in increasing quantities as they have some of the best properties in terms of specific strength and stiffness of any widely available material. By 2020, annual global CFRP production is expected to be...

Fluid flow and heat transfer analysis of TEFC machine end regions using more realistic end-winding geometry (2018)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper a typical small low voltage TEFC motor (output power ~10 kW) has been studied using computational fluid dynamics. The complexity of the end winding geometries, often consisting of several insulated copper strands bound together, provide...

Numerical investigations of convective phenomena of oil impingement on end-windings (2018)
Conference Proceeding

A novel experimental rig for analysing intensive liquid cooling of highly power-dense electrical machine components has been developed. Coupled fluid flow and heat transfer has been modelled, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), to inform the de...

An assessment of financial viability of recycled carbon fibre in automotive applications (2018)
Journal Article

Carbon fibre (CF) recycling has been demonstrated to achieve reductions in environmental impacts compared to virgin CF production, but there is limited understanding of the financial viability of recycling and reutilisation of recycled CF (rCF). In t... Read More about An assessment of financial viability of recycled carbon fibre in automotive applications.
