The Engineering the Future conference will be hosted by the School of Engineering and the Department of Materials on 28 and 29 March 2023.
The conference gives you an opportunity to learn more about our recent and future research and our educational activities that are delivering the next generation of engineers.
Northwest Aerospace Alliance are delighted to be hosting its 8th Annual Conference this year on 30th March 2023 at the Mercure Dunkenhalgh Hotel and Spa Blackburn, Blackburn Rd Clayton, Blackburn, BB5 5JP. The theme of this year’s conference will be ‘The Challenge of Achieving Sustainable Growth for the Aerospace & Defence Sector'.
Join the Pint of Science Manchester launch event - a little 'sip of science' - ahead of the main Pint of Science Festival taking place from the 22 - 24 May 2023.
You will hear fascinating flash talks across multiple themes featuring some of Manchester's leading thinkers and researchers. Complementary welcome drinks will be served until 5:45pm.
This new series of interactive webinars to enhance understanding of data approaches used across the national advanced materials community. The webinar series covers topics such as computational methods in the development of materials, AI approaches to materials design and complex computer simulation methods used for materials discovery.
The measurement of load, torque, temperature, speed, and displacement is common in many kinds of machines. However, most of these sensors capture data about the machine or individual components at a macro-scale. In tribology the important interactions, and the ones that really need sensing, occur at the micro-scale of contacts. For example, the actual flash temperature on a gear tooth, the contact pressure in a rolling bearing, asperity contact in tilting pad, or the film thickness in a seal. Sensing these parameters in-situ in a tribo-contact is challenging. There are several physical phenomena we can use; electrical resistance and capacitance, optical interference and fluorescence/absorption, and acoustic transmission/reflection. This talk covers some designs of sensors based on these physical principles and what researchers have been able to measure with them. The talk includes the author’s own specialist area ultrasonic reflection and a case study on a wind turbine bearing.
