Electrical transformers make a humming noise. This is an anechoic chamber where detailed measurements of the noise are used to optimise transformer construction.		 William Menelaus, Harry Bhadeshia, Cardiff, Cardiff University, 62nd William Menelaus Lecture
Such transformers are usuallyu immersed in oil during service.

This is a special room tiled with iron oxide that is an electromagnetic noise-free chamber.		 William Menelaus, Harry Bhadeshia, Cardiff, Cardiff University, 62nd William Menelaus Lecture

Civil Engineering Laboratory.		 William Menelaus, Harry Bhadeshia, Cardiff, Cardiff University, 62nd William Menelaus Lecture
The foundations here are very robust to deal with the testing of very large objects.

An experiment in which a panel is vibrated. The panel has a random pattern of dots, which are monitored by the rapid response cameras on the left.		 William Menelaus, Harry Bhadeshia, Cardiff, Cardiff University, 62nd William Menelaus Lecture
The signals from the cameras are analysed to study the vibration specifics, a technique known as digital image correlation.
William Menelaus, Harry Bhadeshia, Cardiff, Cardiff University, 62nd William Menelaus Lecture
Digital image correlations is, therefore, an optical technique that combines image registration and tracking methods for accurate two-dimensional measurements of changes in images.		 William Menelaus, Harry Bhadeshia, Cardiff, Cardiff University, 62nd William Menelaus Lecture

Harry with Bruce Hurrell. Bruce was an undergraduate at Cambridge, with whom Harry had supervision sessions some 25 years ago.		 William Menelaus, Harry Bhadeshia, Cardiff, Cardiff University, 62nd William Menelaus Lecture
Bruce then worked on the ageing of poly(hydroxybutyrate), while supervised by Ruth Cameron, her first Ph.D. student.
