Systems Level Diagnostics and Health Monitoring of Complex Electrical Systems Currently root-cause electrical and electronic faults in vehicles are difficult to detect due to the large number of interacting systems and distributed control leading to emergent behaviour. How do you improve the ability to diagnose and the confidence of diagnosis with...

Manchester Metropolitan University has world-class research, crossing different sectors and subject areas and faculties.   There are a number of opportunities to join our vibrant research culture on a variety of research programmes including PhD, MPhil, MA or MSc by Research and taught doctorates in the area of science and engineering....

Supervisor : Dr Rohit Bhagat Project Overview: The electrical energy being used around us was generated a few moments before it was supplied. This is because the way things stand energy generation and demand must be in constant balance. This is problematic for energy generation, as it requires spare capacity and constant shifting of power output....

Supervisor: Professor Richard Dashwood Aim To optimise the processing of the existing A20x alloy for extrusion. To identify and evaluate an alternate commercial alloy composition which will be reinforced with TiB 2 to obtain product with required target application properties through extrusion processing. In both cases comparison against an...

Start date: Summer 2013 Most pesticides in raw waters can be removed by treatment processes employed by water supply companies. However, some active ingredients are more difficult to remove. Even where significant removal is possible, very high concentrations in raw waters may occasionally present compliance challenges. There is pressure to find...

Having undergone exponential growth in capacity since its commercial...

There has been much progress made towards CO2 reductions in the automotive industry through the use of technology, but one of the main sources of inefficiency remains- the driver. There are a range of possible driving styles but no consistent way to characterise these, and understand how they might evolve through a journey; for example the same driver...

Power and signal cables contribute to the mass of a vehicle consequently reducing its efficiency, particularly for the more electrified vehicles. Weight reduction strategies of e.g. vehicle body contribute to an increased efficiency of the vehicle, but to date little attention has been paid to the mass of the on board cables. There is an opportunity to...
