In celebration of students as researchers and peer learning leaders
(University of Plymouth, 2016)Guest editorial from Carolyn Gentle, PALS Co-ordinator, Plymouth University. -
Analysis of manufacturing parameters on the shear strength of aluminium/GFRP co-cured and adhesively bonded single-lap joints
(University of Plymouth, 2016)Due to the increased application of composite materials in recent years, the process of joining composites to metals has become a key area of interest. As a result, methods to increase the strength of composite-to-metal ... -
Parameterisation of intra array effects around Wind Turbine Monopiles
(University of Plymouth, 2016)Project II is a continuation of project I which studied the effects of wave incidence angle and current interaction around offshore Wind Turbine Monopiles. This report presents a brief recap of project I findings and ... -
The influence of resin rich volumes on the mechanical properties of glass fibre reinforced polymer composites
(University of Plymouth, 2016)Glass fibre composite plates were manufactured using several methods to promote increasing levels of fibre volume fraction (Vf), inversely leading to a lower residual resin content and theoretically smaller resin rich ... -
End-of-life recycling options for glass fibre reinforced polymers
(University of Plymouth, 2016)This report covers the possible recycling options for end-of-life glass fibre reinforced polymers. Two forms (jigsaw and diamond bladed wet saw) of composite size reduction were compared to determine the most viable option. ... -
Callosal connectivity and interhemispheric bilateral advantage: a Diffusion Tensor Imaging study
(University of Plymouth, 2016)There is wide acknowledgement that the cerebral hemispheres do not operate in isolation when processing complex visual stimuli (Singh, 2000; Schulte & Muller-Oehring, 2010). Patterns of interhemispheric communication are ... -
Modelling the response of phytoplankton to mesoscale and submesoscale processes at the Sub-Antarctic Front
(University of Plymouth, 2016)This study extends a basic NPZ (Nutrient, Phytoplankton, Zooplankton) model to investigate the impact of turbulence on phytoplankton growth. Despite recent studies suggesting that submesoscale dynamics are crucial for the ... -
Engineering the future
(University of Plymouth, 2016)Guest editorial from: Deborah Greaves, Professor in Ocean Engineering and Director of the Coast Laboratory, Plymouth University -
The comparison of Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation as a means to synthesise alkyl xylenes
(University of Plymouth, 2016)The aim of this project was to synthesise and characterise an alkyl xylene using both a Friedel-Crafts alkylation and a Friedel-Crafts acylation. The literature stated that whilst alkylation raised many issues with ... -
An investigation into the effects of underwater bubble formations on sound speed and attenuation
(University of Plymouth, 2016)Underwater bubbles are prevalent in the marine environment, from natural sources such as breaking waves, biological and geological activity, and artificial sources such as wash from vessel motion and cavitation. Bubbles ...
