About the Project:
This project is about supporting development of new seals for use in that high pressure environment. Amongst other things we’ll be conducting experiments to see how the surface texture can help this. You’ll also be researching to trial an ultrasonic sensor to try to measure the thickness of the tiny seal gap. The work is a combination of experimental and modelling activities. The project is funded by John Crane. You will be working closely with them.
About the Centre:
The Leonardo Centre, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Sheffield is also a leading machine element group in the UK with 6 academic staff and over 50 PhD students.
