WEAR AND TEXTURE ANALYSIS OF MARINE HULL COATING SYSTEMS Marine fouling increases operator costs – fuel consumption, dry dock time, lost revenue TBT ban – increasing legislation on Cu biocides – requirement for novel coating systems Development and optimisation of coating solutions requires many formulations based on intended marine application – static fouling exposure to high …

DENTAL EROSION AND TOOTH WEAR Tooth wear arises from multiple causes but most commonly from physical damage, acidic attack and tooth disease The resultant wear can be considered at multiple scales with each scale presenting unique problems for the accurate quantification of wear At the macro scale – complete arch sets or individual teeth – …
ELECTRICAL SWITCHING CONTACT WEAR & EROSION Electrical Contacts experience severe erosion from the action of the arc during switching Electric Arcing occurs during most switching operations and is effectively a high current plasma. Effects of individual switching events may be subtle but cumulative effects will still determine switching device reliability and lifetime Contact wear is fundamentally …
MEASURING SKIN Filtering Surfaces for Textural Analysis. Where there exist textures, repeating units or structures it is often illuminating to characterise those units quantitatively. Features could be defects on a machined surface or microstructures designed to encourage turbulence at the microfluidic scale. In this case we have an impression of human skin. Quantifying the structure of …
INSECT WING Quantitative Analysis of Paleontological Record. Surface Laser Scanning of Fossil Insect Wings. Palaeontology,Vol.47,Part1,2004,pp.13±19 Bethoux, Mcbride, Maul. Wing venation is a key metric in the taxonomy of fossilised insects however the majority of information available is qualitative rather than quantitative: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.0031-0239.2004.00344.x/epdf Optical measurement of these samples not only a valuable, non-invasive investigative tool but also …
ELECTRICAL CONTACT WEAR During the normal opening and closing of electrical contacts wear and material transfer occurs due to several mechanisms that lead to performance degradation and eventually the failure of the contact. Characterising and quantifying material transfer is an important metric in evaluating these processes however techniques such as weighing do not distinguish where material …
SOUND ARCHIVE PROJECT The earliest audio recordings date from the middle of the 19th century. These artefacts are of significant historical interest, both from a technical standpoint – the technology was cutting edge – and the content – the novelty and complexity meant the audio recorded was often a VIP! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_q5uxdOIhU CLICK HERE to hear …
ARC IMAGER A solid state high-speed arc imaging system for measuring transient arc motion in circuit switching devices. Taicaan Research have developed a solid state high speed arc imaging system: Measuring arc motion in circuit switching devices is crucial to understanding their behaviour and refining their design. Arcing events are brief (often entirely completed in …
