The prediction of industrial noise and its transmission through metal cladding systems (1995)
Thesis
Windle, R. The prediction of industrial noise and its transmission through metal cladding systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

Environmental noise is an issue of increasing concern which has resulted in much legislation over recent years. A large proportion of noise complaints arise from industrial and commercial premises. This thesis therefore aims to take a significant s... Read More about The prediction of industrial noise and its transmission through metal cladding systems.

Integrating design and construction to improve constructability through an effective usage of IT (1995)
Thesis
Underwood, J. Integrating design and construction to improve constructability through an effective usage of IT. (Thesis). University of Salford

It is now widely recognised that bridging the gap between design and construction is essential for improving product quality, cost, lead time, and materials waste. The design of buildings has been separated from its production since at least the m...

A non-contact end effector for robotic handling of non-rigid materials (1995)
Thesis
Erzincanli, F. A non-contact end effector for robotic handling of non-rigid materials. (Thesis). University of Salford

The handling and packaging of food products are generally very labour intensive processes where the risk of product contamination is high. Cost-effective automatic handling of such products is becoming an increasingly important issue, particularly...

The development of an intelligent maintenance optimisation system (1995)
Thesis
Proudlove, N. The development of an intelligent maintenance optimisation system. (Dissertation). University of Salford

This thesis describes the background to and development of a computer-based decision support system (DSS) known as IMOS, the intelligent maintenance optimisation system. The aim of the system is to help industrial maintenance engineers improve the... Read More about The development of an intelligent maintenance optimisation system.

Green building : concept and practice (1995)
Thesis
Cook, S. Green building : concept and practice. (Dissertation). University of Salford

This thesis addresses the question: what is a green building? This question is fundamental to those academics, research bodies and practising construction professionals who seek to audit and to assess green buildings. It seeks to illuminate the b...
