Granular Subsurface Seal Jun 1, 2017 - Mar 15, 2018
This project is aimed at developing and conducting physical tests on a new set of unique swellable materials that can expand into, seal and plug undesirable cavities and isolate distressed porous media downhole of an oil well.

During d... Read More about Granular Subsurface Seal.

Advanced particle damping (APD) solutions for small bore pipework Jun 1, 2016 - Sep 1, 2017
Flow induced main line vibrations cause high cycle fatigue in small bore pipe connections and cantilever valves. Ageing assets can exacerbate these issues due to changing flow rates and previous fatigue exposure. This vibration has the potential to...

Simulation of nanomaterials release from consumer products for environmental exposure assessment Oct 1, 2013 - Oct 1, 2014
Nanomaterials are increasingly being developed for a range of industrial uses. However, there is a lack of standardised methods for estimating the release of nanomaterials to the environment. Current legislation for chemicals and environmental protec... Read More about Simulation of nanomaterials release from consumer products for environmental exposure assessment.

Stab-In Pipe Stage 2 Feb 1, 2019 - Feb 14, 2020
This is Stage 2 of a project to design and develop new non-threaded drill pipe joints. .

Stage 2 will be related to 3D printing of conceptual design of snap latch based non-threaded tool joints, electromagnetic calculations and further... Read More about Stab-In Pipe Stage 2.

Thermally sprayed metamaterial coatings for photovoltaic energy harvesting applications (#themetacoat) Nov 15, 2018 - Jul 31, 2019
Metamaterials, an artificial periodic two- or three-dimensional configuration, can change propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves, which in return can cause wave energy to get absorbed into the material. Taking this idea forward, we intro... Read More about Thermally sprayed metamaterial coatings for photovoltaic energy harvesting applications (#themetacoat).
