Stents for transcatheter aortic valve replacement by Park, Kenneth Stuart

“…The current research project aimed to develop and test novel compressible balloon-expandable stents suitable for patients with symptomatic rheumatic aortic valve disease, and which would allow for a percutaneous polymeric valve to be manufactured, be crimped onto balloon-based devices, and be expanded into a compliant or non-calcific native aortic valve. …”

The effect of laser shock peening and shot peening on the fatigue performance of aluminium alloy 7075 by Becker, Alexander

“…The introduction of residual compressive stresses into the surface layers of components, through various means including shot peening and laser shock peening, can result in local residual compressive stresses which provide a resistance to both crack initiation and propagation, thus leading to an increase in the fatigue life of the components. …”

Powder packing optimisation for clinker reduction in concrete by Holmes, Matthew

“…This was attributed to the ability of fine fillers to prevent interconnectivity of the pore structure and the decreased volume of gel hydration products leading to reduced drying shrinkage. …”
