Case studies
-
Accelerated Weathering Testing
We conducted an accelerated weathering test to deduce the durability of a fabric material when exposed to extreme temperatures.
-
Analysis and Annealing of Aluminium Alloys
Peak Design approached us to analyse hemispherical aluminium samples after encountering a problem with the material splitting during the manufacture of a particular component.
-
Mathematical Modelling and Analysis of a Height Safety System
Cable Safe approached us via the Sheffield Innovation Programme (SIP) with a request to determine the stability and strength characteristics of a new outdoor safety system that it was developing for a client, as well as to conduct detailed analysis on an existing system.
-
Glaze Testing for a Ceramic Artist
Sarah approached the Materials and Engineering Research Institute here at Sheffield Hallam University because she was experiencing less than optimal results with the glaze that she was using in her ceramic work.
-
Feasibility Assessment for a New Product
Aflowan asked us to undertake a feasibility assessment for a new product that it wanted to create in order to meet an emerging specific need.
-
SEM Analysis of a Catalytic Product
Catal International has interacted with Sheffield Hallam University for many years with great success, so when the company needed to refine one of its catalytic products in order to prepare for increasingly rigorous EU HSE regulations, it didn’t hesitate to approach us to see how we might be able to help.
-
Literature Search and Review to Determine the Feasibility of Materials
Approached by Chase Research Cryogenics because the company had encountered problems with a particular product that was in development. The task presented to us was to explore whether or not there were any alternative materials that could potentially be used in an effort to rectify those problems.
