Probing material degradation and properties change to anticipate stages of damage can be achieved using advanced in-situ and hybrid non-contact remote ultrasonic sensing including laser generation and air-coupled detection arrangements. The sensing technology is based on application of guided waves such as plate (Lamb waves) or surface waves (Rayleigh waves) for direct material interrogation th...

This paper investigates the grinding performance of epoxy matrix composites reinforced by unidirectional carbon fibres, using an alumina grinding wheel. Emphasis was placed on understanding the effect of fibre orientations and grinding depths on the grinding force and surface integrity, and on understanding the grinding mechanisms, with a comparison to orthogonal cutting. It was found that grea...

Existing wireless communication interface has free space signal radiation which drastically reduces the received signal strength and hence reduces the throughput efficiency of Hybrid Wired-Wireless Network-on-Chip (WiNoC). This paper addresses the issue of throughput degradation by replacing the wireless layer of WiNoCs with a novel Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) based waveguide...
