Development of 18F radiochemistry for positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) by Camroodien, Ameerah

“…From the continuously measured tracer particle trajectory, the time differential is used to produce velocity (and acceleration) fields, and further trajectory analysis reveals the localised behaviour of the tracer in the system under study including residence times and kinematic properties. For optimum tracking the radioactivity in a single particle must be sufficient irrespective of the tracer size and material. …”

Experimental and numerical study on the effect of strain rate to ductile damage by Bowden, Andrew Scott

“…Thus the aims of this thesis were to develop a system to test the damage properties of materials at both quasistatic (≈ 1 s−1 ) and dynamic (> 1×103 s −1 ) strain rates, and then to determine the influence of strain rate to ductile fracture. …”
