Digital technology in engineering design teaching (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Digital technology is widely used in engineering design teaching, enabling students to create parametric models of their solutions and data files for computer-aided manufacture (CAM). However, the digital industry is predicted to grow significantly t... Read More about Digital technology in engineering design teaching.

An iterative numerical approach to evaluate the variable friction coefficient of steel AMS5643 using ring compression tests (2023)
Journal Article

The coefficient of friction is an important variable that must be defined to allow the accurate prediction of the forming geometry and stresses involved in metal forming processes. Literature reports have shown that the coefficient of friction does n...

A methodology to support robotic polishing of moulds integrated with CAD/CAM (2023)
Journal Article

Typically, the final process in the manufacture of molds is mechanical polishing, a process predominantly conducted manually. This is an important process step to improve the surface quality of the mold without affecting the geometry of the cavity. C...

A hybrid approach to support robotic polishing process planning (2023)
Book Chapter

Currently, mechanical polishing and manual labour are used to complete the finishing stages of the manufacture of moulds. This stage of the procedure is not only the most expensive, but it is also currently experiencing a shortage of experienced peop...

Exploring the potential for a FEA-based design of experiments to develop design tools for bulk-metal joining processes (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Over the last 20 years, finite element analysis (FEA) has become a standard analysis tool for metal joining processes. When FEA tools are combined with design of experiments (DOE) methodologies, academic research has shown the potential for virtual D...

Numerical shape, thickness and stacking sequence optimisation and experimental study of hybrid composite plates under in-plane shear loading (2023)
Journal Article

Shape, thickness and stacking sequence optimisation of a damage tolerant hybrid (GFRP-CFRP) composite laminate is performed using the commercial Optistruct solver. The results of the optimisation study are compared to both a benchmark non-damage tole...

An experimental investigation of the impact response and post-impact shear buckling behaviour of hybrid composite laminates (2023)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the effect of transverse impact loading on the in-plane shear behaviour of two laminate configurations. The extensive experimental studies consider a pure carbon laminate (type 1) and a novel X-shaped carbon/glass laminate (ty...
