Embedding optical sensors within additive manufactured high melting point metals for condition measurement within harsh environments
(Heriot-Watt University Engineering and Physical Sciences, 2023-02)The use of optical fibre sensors, such as fibre Bragg gratings (FBG), provides opportunity for condition health monitoring of a structure or process. FBGs allow for in-situ measurement of temperature and strain. The ... -
Multiport beamforming system based on reconfigurable waveguide phased antenna array for satellite communication applications
(Heriot-Watt University Engineering and Physical Sciences, 2022-10)A multiport K/Ka-band beamforming system based on the reconfigurable waveguide phased antenna array is presented in this thesis. The waveguide structure is used to achieve low loss, wideband performance, and simple ... -
Calixarene-based supramolecular photocatalysis
(Heriot-Watt University Engineering and Physical Sciences, 2022-12)This thesis presents the synthesis of BODIPY appended calix[4]arenes for use in photocatalysis, building on the foundational ideas of Gutsche to utilise calixarene molecular recognition capabilities for reaction ... -
Sampling, rendering, and denoising light fields for challenging environments
(Heriot-Watt University Engineering and Physical Sciences, 2021-05)Light field imaging is an important area of image-based rendering (IBR) that is on the cusp of becoming an important area in the field of robotics. While born into the field of graphics, light fields have evolved into ... -
Propeller and vortex ring state for floating wind turbines during surge
(Heriot-Watt University Engineering and Physical Sciences, 2020-12)A floating wind turbine can experience propeller-like conditions when moving backwards quicker than the wind, where both the rotor thrust and torque are negative. This is known as propeller state. Under such cases, it ...
