The effects of design and environmental factors on the reliability of electronic products (2007)
Thesis
Lawson, W. The effects of design and environmental factors on the reliability of electronic products. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The reliability of electronic products is fast becoming of major importance with the demand for increased safety, especially in the automotive industry. Tracks, pads and vias on printed circuit boards can suffer a variety of problems if circuits ar...

Application of response surface methodology to laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy : influences of hardware configuration (2007)
Journal Article
Cowpe, J., Astin, J., Pilkington, R., Hill, A., Longson, M., & Robinson, T. (2007). Application of response surface methodology to laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy : influences of hardware configuration. Spectrochimica Acta Part B: Atomic Spectroscopy, 62(12), 1335-1342. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sab.2007.10.035

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to optimise LIBS analysis of single crystal silicon at atmospheric pressure and under vacuum conditions (pressure ~10-6mbar). Multivariate analysis software (StatGraphics 5.1) was used to design and an...

The application of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) to the analysis of geological samples in simulated extra-terrestrial atmospheric environments (2007)
Thesis
Lucas, N. The application of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) to the analysis of geological samples in simulated extra-terrestrial atmospheric environments. (Thesis). University of Salford

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a technique that can determine the elemental composition and quantities of a sample by the spectral analysis of a laser induced plume. This study was undertaken to develop, characterise and assess th...
